Truck just arrived. The tow truck driver noticed it was leaking mostly from the
front. Hmm, would I be so lucky as to just have a leaking hose or cooler?
Luckier actually, on of the hoses to the cooler was DISCONNECTED... I expect
that happened during the tow, it was probably loose and while sitting it just
leaked all the fluid out.
SWEET.
I reconnected it, I'm gonna take a nap and then go get some fluid and see what
happens. Next week I'll get my wife to take it to our regular shop for a
checkup just to see if we've got any other loose hoses...
I checked car-part.com and found 3 used transmissions, $500-$700 so even if the
trans is toast its not that big a hit in the wallet.

Okay, I had to clean the vent on my 240D, where does the vent land on the 190D?
This car is alot less fun to work on, I could pretty well crawl under my 240D
while it was sitting on the ground...
I'm thinking to get a set of those drive up ramps for stuff like this. Anybody
use 'em?

If you routinely get a "whoosh" then the vent line IS probably clogged
and needs to be cleaned out. I've NEVER needed a new fuel seal! I've
had
to clean out vent lines maybe half a dozen times.

Hi, Gurus, (Guri?)
1998 Jeep Cherokee basic 4 cyl. manual etc. The instrument cluster seems to
have been invaded by gremlins (AMC joke). The overheat lamp comes on, no actual
overheat condition, and it will be accompanied by the oil pressure lamp or will
alternate with the oil light.. The air bag lite also has a random impulse to
expose itself. I have RTFM and looked on the web, maybe I'm not looking in the
right places. Hellup!

Let's start with changing out all the fuses and put a load tester on the
