Blinker fluid????? I bet I could ask any of the local discount part shops for that magic stuff & the clerk would actually try to look it up for me!

At the NAPA most convenient for me there is only one person (a guy in his 50s) who is willing to stretch the gray matter to solve the customer's problem. The rest of them have the mindset that if it isn't in the computerized parts inventory, it doesn't exist. Autozone, same thing. At Schuck's (Kragen or Checker outside of Oregon), there is nobody with a clue, so I just go there for commodity stuff on sale---oil, blinker fluid, etc. Alex Chamberlain '87 300D Turbo '93 Isuzu Trooper '86 Lincoln Mark VII LSC _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
