[diesel_mercedes] MORE Neighborly ' fun '

 

Remember when the druggie neighbors backed their truck into my grille ? .



They hit it so hard the bent the AC Condenser into a 'U' shape , broke the AC fan , bent the radiator core support and the fan cut a hole through the top of the plastic fan shroud .


Everything worked O.K. so I bought a new AC fan and grille , installed both and have been driving it since then .


To - day as I was returning from shopping I stopped to buy SWMBO some Coffee and as I came out of the Winchell's , I see coolant dripping......


Oh great , now what ? .


I pop the hood and the upper tank to core seam of my custom made all metal radiator is weeping just a little bit ~ I squeeze the top hose and feel pressure but when I squeeze it , coolant bubbles out .


I'm supposed to drive it to Death Valley in three weeks......


SWMBO says I can drive her '82 240D there .


Last time I did that , I blew a water pump in Rhyolite , Nev. costing me several days and over $2,000 .


The ' fun ' ~ it never ends .
