GP fuse -- if it is like my 300TD it is on the firewall in a little covered holder, it is a 20A strip fuse about 2in long and screws onto the contacts. They cost like a dollar, buy a couple to keep in the car. Glow plug relay could be bad too (I'm guessing this car has a relay) but the fuse

Sounds like State rape. You did have this form: http://www.dor.wa.gov/Docs/Forms/Misc/DeclarBuyerSllrRcValueUsedVehSold_E.pdf did you not? Else the State uses blue book value. Every time they try that I shout "Sold!", and they look at me funny... And how come I'm now paying weight fees on a

Re: [MBZ] 240D license

here, transferring a title was $10. A few years ago they raised that 150% to $25. I think that was the same time they doubled the license plate. We have THE MOST state employees per capita of the 50 states! (57 if you are a (J) They have to be paid for some way! The goober and the

That same sort of thing happened in OK as well - thanks to our very blue legislature . . . The DMV just follows the law, passed by the idiots that were elected. On Thu, Sep 22, 2016 at 10:29 PM, clay via Mercedes wrote: > I just purchased an 86 SDL and wanted it to have

Re: [MBZ] 240D license

I just purchased an 86 SDL and wanted it to have vintage plates. Washington allows the use of period correct plates or you get the collector plates they issue. Their plates are $65, to use your own vintage plate is $35. That said, the DMV has jacked up all the fees to register your car. I

Re: [MBZ] 240D license

Floriduh has "classic" plates for cars 30 years or older, but the fees are essentially the same as current plates, and you have to renew annually. Sort of defeats the purpose, in my mind. They have "permanent" classic plates, too, but the vehicle has to be older and not used as a daily

Re: [MBZ] 240D license

Our license / registration / taxes for all three vehicles ('87, '95, '96) is about $12 each vehicle for one year, then $33 each the next year, and keeps flipping back and forth like that. Red state baby! Regular plates, nothing special. The cabriolet I just bought was like $25 to get the

Seems likely there is another 240 setting in salvage somewhere close by that could become donor of the entire under hood wiring harness. A couple hours of "plug and play" and "Achmed's your uncle". On Sat, Jul 2, 2016 at 8:12 AM, Kaleb C. Striplin via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: >
