Subject: [diesel_mercedes] Horns
Some here may recal I like horns , not all of them , just the good ones like Ma 'Benz stpped fitting in 1967 or so .
Tom and I spent most of Saturday walking the various localPick-A-Part yarks in a futile search for a TD right rear dor .
We did however , find some W-108 & W-110 horns , $5 each , I plan to service them and install on my Diesel Coupe and SWMBO's 300TD as it only has one working horn now .
To - day is EASTER SUNDAY and we were supposed to drive way out to Fontucky to visit her family so I arose early and at sunup I was working on the TD , installing a cigar hose in lieu of the old 5/16" generic , non Diesel rated fuel hose , I also replaced the capped 5th injector hose as it was leaking , replaced the front window switches as they were worn away the decals and the lift function on the driver's side was wonky to boot (TIP : always check wrecks for new , dealer window $witches !) . it turns out the black European console cover is vastly better than the laminated wood U.S. market ones as it is designed to more easily service th various switches .
I fiddled with a whole raft of little things and the car is running tip - top , in spite of the rain we zipped from L.A. to Fontucky @ 85 - 90 MPH , she noticed (& commented on) how quickly we got here but didn't notice how fast I drove because this low mileage wagon is *so* smooth & quiet . =8-) .
