Where to send it depends on where you are, and your preferences. Palo Alto Speedometer has been an MBCA advertiser for over 40 years. Probably not the cheapest. MacDan likes performa, as they are in his neck of the woods. There are other companies who advertise in the Star too. I can look

Re: [MBZ] 2004 E320 Speedometer Issue

Check with BBA Reman. They rebuild/repair lots of Mercedes clusters, and in most cases, pretty reasonably. I got my 2002 W210 cluster rebuilt in less than a week from them for about $140 including shipping. Dan > On Nov 26, 2017, at 7:09 PM, Robert Koziak via Mercedes >

[MBZ] Freezer not freezing

My 22 cubic foot chest freezer stopped freezing yesterday. Luckily I went out to replenish my supply of frozen blueberries and noticed it was not keeping things as frozen as usual. I have about 1/2 of 1/2 a cow left from a purchase this spring. The freezer is about 30 years old so I guess it
