White Whale monovalve hose has been clamped off during the AC season for
several years in a row now. I haven't had time to address that, probably
need to just buy a new monovalve and install that and move on.

Our local Mercado del Wal offers online grocery shopping with delivery to

Buy another battery online with in-store pickup.
Take the $80 receipt with you when you pick it up.
Take it to the service desk and return it with yesterday's receipt.

Yup. But you do on "free shipping" sites too. The difference is
with RockAuto you pay actually shipping charges so buying multiple

Yes I do have both 123 and 126 and they both
have the monovalve but I was thinking of your
car with the weird AC problem. Though I see
that you have that blocked off so that isn't it.
I didn't know they still made the regular ES.
I just ordered a case of the industrial to
have some on hand,
It's a total loss.
I'll give you $501.

Speaking of my E300, I think I need to get some photos of the entire car
and post them and you all tell me if you think its even worth me
replacing the door and getting it painted. I did notice today it did
damage the area behind the rear door and the wheel arch.
