One other option I used to use when I was at Xerox was I would ship

OR just buy some new tools when you get there. It is always nice to have a
good excuse to buy tools. I have a nice ratchet that I enjoy using (along
with some other stuff like sockets ) that I bought once when we were away
from home and I had failed to take my toolbox with. I changed out a water
pump on an 86 Taurus in the parking lot of a motel while my wife made trips
accross the parking lot to the Target or Wal-Mart stores to get things I had
forgotten on my trip through the parts and tools stores, like hand cleaner,
paper towel, a screwdriver etc.

If you are retrieving a remote car and you want to have tools, consider

In planning my trip to Raleigh to retrieve my W124, I considered all this. I
ended up carrying onboard my cellphone, a plug-in CB radio, my radar
detector, a 1-3 power splitter, some books on tape, my AA card and that's
it.

I thought about shipping some tools and stuff down to Raleigh via FedEx
Ground, but in the end, didn't bother. In my case, the only thing I needed
to make the 700 mile trip back to Boston was a $.29 ceramic fuse. Coulda
been worse...

As fun as it is to drive a new (to you) car. Driving a used vehicle
you just bought 400 miles is not my idea of enjoyment. Every car I buy
that isn't in my "comfort" radius is not driven home. I always want to
make sure that I, myself, am not the cause of some major repair bill
because I wasn't patient about jumping in and taking off. Making
required checks isn't really "PC" to do in the PO's driveway. Plus,
personally, I take the vehicle to a qualified Brand mechanic to do
immediate fluid exchanges before such use as well. That way if there
is something major I find out about it before I drive a rod through
the block.

By these are just my own personal paranoias.

I've been looking for awhile. In fact I didn't expect to get this one, I 
put in my bid and headed home as the auction was ending during my commute. 
On the way home I made up my mind that it didn't matter if I lost the 
auction, what I REALLY wanted was a 2.5l 5spd.


 I foolishly passed on a nice '84 2.2l 5spd last summer just because it 
was black with a black interior (and another $500 than I'm paying for this 
one) that was second owner.


 Thanks for all the suggestions, I think I'll drive down Friday night and 
dolly the car back Saturday. I'd love to have the 400 mile shakedown tour 
but my wife works Saturday morning and I'd like to have the time Sunday to 
change the oil and give it whole car a good hard look.

[Dan Weeks]

Rent a dolly from U-haul. Not sure about the driveshaft with an mb, 
but the tow itself is a piece of cake. tows fine. Easy to do. Tell 
U-haul you're towing the lightest make and model car you can think 
of, though--they've got some kind of formula of tow-vehicle weight to 
towed-vehicle weight and they won't rent it to you unless it fits the 
formula, which is pretty conservative, and way below the tow rating 
of most tow vehicles. You can lie, and they'll never know, unless 
you're invovled in an accident, in which case there insurance won't 
cover it. I didn't get their insurance, and wasn't worried, so I just 
lied. I've towed my vanagon Westfalia a couple thousand miles on such 
a dolly, and a diesel jetta hundreds of miles--both at 70 mph. Felt 
fine.


Have fun!

Re: [MBZ] Bought a 190D, now what?

[Zeitgeist]

If it's really a 5spd manual, then just make sure (really sure) it's
in neutral and you're good to go.  Congrats by the way!

with a stick shift you dont need to worry about unhooking the driveshaft.

  My truck is a '96 Dodge Dakota, the 190D is definately within its limits for towing. I'm thinking a tow dolly would be very practical for this but I've never used one before. Is there anything I need to consider in dollying the car? Would I need to drop the driveshaft or something like that? Its nearly 400 miles I'll need to travel.
   
  Thanks

[MBZ] Bought a 190D, now what?

[Curt Raymond]

So I bought an '85 190D 2.2l 5spd. Its in New Jersey, I'm in MA. Theres a 
couple ways to go retrieve it.
  Travel down w/no car and drive it back.
  Drive down with my wife and caravan back.
  Drive the truck down and somehow tow it back.
   
  My truck is a '96 Dodge Dakota, the 190D is definately within its limits for 
towing. I'm thinking a tow dolly would be very practical for this but I've 
never used one before. Is there anything I need to consider in dollying the 
car? Would I need to drop the driveshaft or something like that? Its nearly 400 
miles I'll need to travel.
   
  Thanks
  Curt
