A loaded semi is more along the lines of 34,000 - 100,000 lbs
depending on the number of axles. I don't think it really maters what
you are driving at that point.

Given the output of current solar cells and the area available on the
roof of a car, wouldn't you have to leave it parked in full sun for

Kinda useless for the most part. 400 to 500 miles of moderate driving
is fine, but if I need to use "heavy braking" - I wont have much of a
choice in the matter.

The last thing you want is a cheap W140. They are expensive enough to

Let me know if you want to compare any readings with one that does not
have that problem. I can check in the evenings after my wife gets home
(it's her daily driver).

Does that mean MB does not sell the parts? Or you haven't tried to get the
rebuild parts? I wonder if they're
epair. I'll admit that I have made some expensive mistakes
with this philosophy, but they were mine to make.
If you follow the Mercedes Guidelines on 'user-serviceable', we would
