Yes, lots of them, but none imported to the USA. My 1987 300D

ditto the wagon version (124.393) and a bunch of other combinations of
engines too. Such a shame we never got those. Nearly impossible to
import to the USA unless you

Drat, I was hoping nobody had noticed. I emailed and asked if it's
driveable, no reply yet. If it won't shift into top gear then I can't
get it... would need to drive 500 miles home. I wonder if I could
modify the diesel tranny to fit, since I have a spare... all the valve
body settings would be
for the gasser and diesel engines?

Hmmm, the EPC won't pull a datacard for that VIN. Is there a trick to
getting datacard for older VIN's without the 'WDB-' prefix? I've never
needed to look up an older one. It did figure out the chassis model
but no datacard... that option is grayed out in the menu.

Russ,
That would be the E-GAS module (electronic accelerator (EA) control -
NOT the fuel injection LH module, not the ASR module, and not the
Basic module). Bummer part is that a quick search doesn't show one
available used. That doesn't mean there isn't one available, just that
it might be hard
That's not a W115, it's a W100... a 100.012 to be specific. One of the
most expensive cars on the planet to own. If you aren't used to
spending whatever you like and having accountants figure out your
finances, run away.

The explosive charge in the airbag is roughy equivalent (IIRC) to a
shotgun blast - not something you want to mess around with. The above
applies to the 124 chassis but I believe the 201 and 126 have the red
connector in the same place. I'm sure Marshall will correct me if I'm
wrong. ;-)

Coherent? How about *any* policy? Shoot, in California they give
illegal immigrants driver's licenses. (Note the 'illegal' part of that
statement.) I wonder if diesel Benz repair would be considered a skill
they need in NZ... it's starting to look better down there as things
get more crowded up
It's got full coverage of the W124 W201, I think full coverage of
the 126 (except 617 engine - not sure about 117), and most everything
newer. Nothing on the 123, 115/116, or older. For the 124/201 etc, the
main difference between it and the CD-ROM's is tranny repair

Under full load, they may indeed get red hot. Under normal driving, no
way. Under normal driving conditions my EGT's are usually 400-600F
cruising at legal speeds. I think at a steady 90mph it's more like
800F. Extended full throttle (more than 10-15 seconds) can push things
to 1200-1400F, beyond
