[diesel_mercedes] Once In A While.....

 

...Even a blind squirrel finds a nut....

I've been continuing on the ' Might As Wells ' on SWMBO's '82 240D , I had both front doors apart last night and by the time I was done , the central locking seemed to work O.K. & the engine stopped *instantly* when I turned off the key so I stopped . (I'd replaced both inside door pulls with new ones and hand scrubbed the interior door panels whilst they were off and replaced one cracked map pocket just for good measure )

I drove it to work to - day and 9 hours after I'd parked it , I had to open the driver's door ~ imagine my pleasure as I saw the other doors unlocking =8-) .

I puttered around washing the windows etc. and when I was done , Lo ! they all locked up automatically again too .

Wow , I'm stoked , I think she'll be pleased too .

Maybe replacing all those rubber 'Y' vacuum connectors was a good idea after all .(they're hidden under the floor , in the trunk etc.)

I ordered up the new fuel filler flap actuator from The Mercedes Classic Center in Irvine , Ca. and once I have that it'll be pretty much all done .
