Curt, the missing radio is a ruse to make you think AHA all it needs is a radio and the seller is too stupid to install one! Therefore, I can steal this car for way less than it's worth. NOT. The missing radio is what I call a "misdirection play" to divert your attention from asking the tough qu

Re: [MBZ] rear end questions

My 1969-manufactured 280SE 3.5 with a 4 speed automatic starts in 1st gear and is VERY quick off the line. OTOH, it approaches 4000 rpm at 65 mph, so there is a tradeoff. My 1983 300TD turbodiesel hits 3000 rpm at the same speed. On Fri, Nov 21, 2008 at 12:28 AM, Fmiser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrot

Peter, If it's a 1981 - 1985 turbo W123 how about removing the temp. and blower motor regulators and shipping them to me for a pittance (unless you KNOW they don't work). My ACC is erratic but acts the same with two different push button modules, so it must be something else. The monovalve isn'
