Hi Dwight and everybody who posed some interest.
So today in the light of day I'm feeling like I got over excited yesterday...
I should keep the car and put another alternator in it. I suspect that the
diodes died theres a distinct smell of dead electronics. Nevertheless it'll
still be under warrenty its only been like a month. I didn't pull the brushes
but I'm thinking they should still be good.
The car is in Gardner, MA. Its actually got a little more rust than I
suggested before, theres a bit on the shroud in front of the radiator, and I
fiberglassed a hole in the trunk a couple years ago that shows no sign of
re-rusting. The drivers side rear door has a dent that was there when I got the
car. Theres also a little surface rust here and there...
Anyway Sunday I'm going to look at an '84 190D 2.2l 5spd. The guy wants $4500
which seems high, its supposed to be perfect, 150kmi. My worry right now is
that I don't have anywhere to keep my 240D if I buy the 190D, but I figure I
can probably work something out.

Curt,
Any clues on what you think it is? I must confess I have been drooling
over John Peterson's 90 300D but wife won't allow another purchase
right now. Where are you located?
I know someone locally here in RI who is looking for another 240. Could
it just be brushes? OR maybe a bad pulley causing alternator failure?
Dwight
PS-what color are your mats?
