Gosh thanks for all the replies so quick on Saturday night! I had similar thoughts to Dan about the relative wisdom of skimping, and similar thoughts to Curly about how 4 seasons might actually outperform the mb part. The guy who suggested four seasons is the son of a 30y mb master mechanic and

Just to make this even more academic, the original 1987 evaporator hasn't even failed yet (unlike every other part of the AC system). I am just switching it because "I" am replacing the dash. K On Oct 25, 2015 2:03 AM, "Karl Wittnebel" wrote: > Gosh thanks for all the

For $500, just drill some drain holes so if you do get caught in the weather, the water can run right out. Indoor-outdoor carpet on the floor, replace the seats every couple of years, no need for that expensive soft top -- Max Dillon Charleston SC '87 300TD '95 E300 Take the interior

Well, I would not be surprised. As for B-52 missions, in which I was involved, even if the enemy was not notified of the targets directly there, were ways they could easily figure it out. There were spies on the ground at Anderson AFB, Guam, and UTapao, Thailand, and in boats just off the

I see hard tops for sale around here all the time, but they’re mostly R129 hard tops. Still, R107s come up with some regularity, so I’m betting if you keep your eyes out you’ll find one. Dan > On Oct 25, 2015, at 11:39 AM, Curly McLain via Mercedes > wrote: > > I can

After charging the battery overnight I got the SL started. Thought I heard some chain rattle so I did not run it long. Want to check the stretch before I get too far. It's got a little over 80k on it so it's getting into that range of needing a chain. Sent from my iPhone

Loren, no idea if the evaporator is original. No service records, I've owned the car about ten years, about 75k miles. AC was not working when I got the car, it had been converted to R134a, ignorant "mechanic" had add extra wiring to try to gerry-rig the compressor to run. New seals and
