Vegan, or vegetarian? The 'vegan' Mercedes might have to be pre-W115. My W115 200D had electronics in it: the intermittent wiper and the turn signal flasher! And: radio! The W123 diesel doesn't have any _critical_ electronics. Of course, neither does a W126 diesel! So long as they were using computers to _replace_ non-computer electronics they seemed to do a pretty good job. As soon as it became obvious that it _was_ a computer, usually via menus and lots of 'convenience' features, that's when the troubles seemed to creep in. My personal opinion is that it is _complexity_ that is the true killer. And nothing made in the last 20 years is at all non-complex. -- Jim _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
