He offered it and I’ll take it. Whether or not I’ll put it on the car is yet to be determined. Understand that there are parts of the year down here where we’re inundated with “love bugs” that literally cover the front of your car to the point where their remains can damage the paint if left i

Re: [MBZ] 1972 250 approaching 5 figures

I (my family) has a 1971 220 in Greece. My parents bought it new in New York and picked it up in Germany via European delivery. They drove it to Greece where they lived at the time. My father used it as a daily driver from 1971-1986. It now only gets occasional use when we visit. It is the same

[MBZ] 1972 250 approaching 5 figures

Closing today on BAT. Has the highly coveted beige paint, faux cognac interior, and crank window option. YET - it also sports a zebrano wood dash which is quite uncharacteristic for the plebeian W114 sedan weries. I've actually grown fond of this one. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1972-merce

Re: [MBZ] W123 Monovalve final solution - make it vacuum controlled?

I would agree for the most part as a purist, however, I see the circulating pump as a time bomb which, if not fused to prevent potential damage to the rest of the system, I would easily replace wth a more reliable arrangement. I noticed the circulating pump on the 400E has been disconnected. Hm

Re: [MBZ] W123 Monovalve final solution - make it vacuum controlled?

124 vice 123: I'd change it because the 1995 E300 Diesel monovalve is not rebuild-able (no insert is sold) and is unique to the 1995 E300 model and is pretty darn pricey from MB ($140 or more? I could be wrong on that). In addition, the replacement monovalve available from MB has a bad reputation

Re: [MBZ] W123 Monovalve final solution - make it vacuum controlled?

Another fix for something that isn’t broken. If you use a genuine MB monovalve insert, they work just find. In fact, the climate control works exceptionally well when repaired correctly. That is, it requires no adjustment at all by the user. I haven’t touched mine in weeks or months, except for

On the peach parts forum, there's a claim that the 201 models used this arrangement, so if there are official MB parts support for things like the vacuum controlled monovalve, that would be huge. - Max Charleston SC On Wed, Feb 14, 2018 at 10:24 AM, Dan Penoff via Mercedes < mercedes@
