I guess I should add I go whole hog. I buy the entire car and

Anything you can get your hands on that is not broken.

Pretty much standard to remove lines since they are always in the way. Make

Some people think that the only place for a Diesel engine is in a truck or
tractor. When I told a friend of mine about my diesel Benz addiction, that
was exactly his reaction. How funny that our Kubota B7100 and L2500
tractors would have probably outrun the 240D to 20MPH!

No. Klima generally says klima and engine type (8zyl) it ia about 3 x 3 x 1"
Yes, slipping belt will shut down the kompressor. There is a
comparison of engine rpm with compressor rpm.
