Re: [MBZ] Holed the Pan
Sweet and most bodacious List Mom, what is the charge to procure a pan to allow Gump to once more roam the streets of Seattle? It would need the drain plug installed and maybe a few pan bolts.

Re: [MBZ] Holed the Pan
I am wanting the whole shebang new. There were a few bolts that felt cross threaded while trying to get the pan off. Going to want a fresh drain plug and gasket.

Re: [MBZ] Holed the Pan
It really was. All the way along there were minor scuffs, then that huge drain bolt grabbed on and torn the back off the pan. Wonder if I should install a skid plate.

Re: [MBZ] Holed the Pan

Trampas I hate quoting other people's prices but I want to say the pan I got from Rusty last year was like $13.00 and the gasket was more like $17.00 so $30.00 plus oil sounds about right. In fact I had to buy another one this past year as my friend used my 300CD while I was away ( after hearing a story from a local tow truck driver about a girl he was seeing running off the road in a Mercedes) I believe he lied to me and let her drive my car. He acted surprised when I told him that while I was away someone went off-road with my car. When I left for vacation, it was in my driveway. It was parked over a sandy spot across the street when I returned. Johnny B. I Mac Therefore I am
Re: [MBZ] Holed the Pan
Mercedes had a prominently offered set of steel skid plates in the late 50s and 60s (or so), to protect the oil pan and other vulnerable parts. I was stationed in Europe at the time, and remember seeing that in the options list. It might be a good idea to look into that if you drive in areas where you can get that kind of damage.
