Compression test on an engine that has been sitting is not reliable.
any carbon or rust in a valve/seat will keep that cyl from showing
true compression. If you turn it over by hand and listen, you should
feel the resistance of compression (and hear the leakdown) 5 times
within two revolutions
That would be a great improvement. However, the current crop from MB
is so ugly in the front end I sure like the looks of a 124
better or even a 210.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I was under the impression you didn't keep cars

old car. Metal fatigue plauges everybody.

It has two switch sections. That is, two rockers.
Well then that _is_ weird!
From my investigation in the original 7 terminal switch, the
missing terminal is the power source. All the unit sections'

power to get in!

There is a vent on top of the tank for the 84 SD, I presume your car has
a similar arrangement. On the SD you can take out a panel in front of
the trunk to get at the tank, and I think there is a way to get at from
the back shelf, like under the first aid kit hatch?

Easy to jam, the signals are extremely weak. I think you can buy
jammers off the intertubes or probably make one easily if you were so
inclined. You could use a paper map, they are fairly immune to radio
waves and such.

The evaporator failure is uncommon EXCEPT on the cars were copper
pipes were used on aluminum evaporators (W201 and W124 early
models). When the failure problem showed up (two of the three in our
family have failed), the design was changed to all aluminum and the
problem went away.

On a side note, a friend of mine who was in the insurance industry told me,
with regards to the auto portion of their business, that they don't make
