It's interesting that it's a 2 stroke diesel instead of a 4 stroke - I guess

You're right about who is to blame but invariably when layoff's occur
they'll hit the secretary's and clerical staff 1st - people making $10-$20

Be careful how much you choose to place in the HSA acct -most (all?) require
you forfeit any money not used. For us, doc co-pays &, Rx co-pay are the
only thing we need a HSA for but it's easy to calculate how much is needed
in the HSA - 1 doc per mo, 3 Rx per month. Until the govt changes the
Typically a scam like this will start with a request for a deposit and
talk of the car being held for shipment at a shipping agent - unavailable

The wires behind the gauges sometimes get pinched (like mine), come loose or
the solder breaks. It's most likely one of those 3 or the ground wire
connection. The gauges themselves generally last forever - but the wiring
to them has problems.
Unlikely but check the wire to the temp. sensor o
ue for our HAS. New rules for 2008 allow whatever we do not
use to roll over to the next year. What we have not used this year will
cover our initial out of pocket costs for next year.

What problem are you having? (sorry if I missed prior posts) my 91 300D
W124 had a passengers side headlight which worked part-time. Turned out to
be the 3 prong (female) harness that plugs onto the headlight bulb - one of
the 3 hole appeared to have partially melted. Bought a new wiring ha
that car has had some ... u ... interesting (?) customizing done to it
Have never see a grill star like that - and the gearshift looks really odd -
