Really? Cloth seats? AC blows "ICE COLD"? Whats wrong with it? I'd be interested in a 300D manny. My wife has grown tired of the '78 240D, wants something more "zippy". I'm not sure a manny 300D is what she has in mind but I'm intrigued. -Curt Date: Mon, 30 Jan 2012 18:15:33 -0600 From: "Kaleb C.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Bought a new computer monitor

I kinda like Apple stuff, but I have a rather cynical view of technology now. Apple does seem to focus more on the "user experience" but some stuff is still bass ackards to my mind. Unlike the winders stuff Apple folk seem to actually think something about how a user might want to do things,

There is voltage at the solenoid big terminal, and voltage at the solenoid control terminal. This data seems to be pointing to a solenoid that isn't engaging. Jim, do you agree? Sure looks like it. First try hitting it with a hammer. You can use a board or a pipe as a very large punch so yo
