Hi Glenn,
I've cc'd the list...
I agree, I own a set of jackstands but according to the news it'll "struggle to
get into the 20s this week" so hydralic jacks are pretty much out.... I was
thinking the ramp would be good for lifting, then put my jackstand underneith
to actually hold the thing up...

Don't! There was a story on the news within the last couple months
where a fellow was found deceased a couple days later under his car
since the ramps had collapsed. I never get under a car without my
hydraulic jack and jack stands, it's nor worth the risk. Good luck.

Actually Fred has (had?) an '84 190D like mine that he'd dangled at me for a
very reasonable price...
I should probably consider getting on the stick and buying it.

Hi there folks
What parts of my 300TD wiper assembly are accessible for lubrication?
My new-ish wipers (MB arms and blades) sweep in a silky smooth fashion
when first started, but if left to run continuously or intermittently,
they soon develop a shuddering action. The shuddering is not major but
it's irritating.
The complete assembly (above the grill) was installed new last year and
hasn't been altered, bent or twisted, so I'm assuming that the problem
originates elsewhere in the mechanism. The shuddering persists when both
wipers are lifted off the windscreen.
Any recommendations for lubricant?
Thanks in advance for whatever wisdom you can offer me
