Never had a 240D. The previous owner became disabled and the car just got parked because they couldn’t drive. Hard telling if it had issues then. Most of the things I’ve encountered are related to lack of use. -D > On May 31, 2019, at 12:57 PM, Randy Bennell via Mercedes > wrote: > > Well,

New tires all around , at least the rears are new and the fronts have no wear to speak of. All four are the same brand/size tires. Than BAS issue is clearly with the steering angle sensor, as the codes that are thrown all point to it. I’ve just got to determine if it’s cruddy or needs replaceme

So you need plans to build a boat? Also, the weight of the water can cause the earth to deform downward, meaning that flood level is a lower bar (easier, less water required) than before, so it takes longer for the flood to recede. - Max Charleston SC On Fri, May 31, 2019 at 10:54 AM
