Some of you could not properly park your MB's if your life depended on it.
Here you can take some lessons from a Master Parker.

I've been passing the time during the twice weekly snowstorms by adding Mercedes parts and other effluvia to my ebay sales list. You can check it out by working from sale #110640906670. Maybe I should get a store.
All we need is _one_ then we'd just click on " see sellers other items " to see them all .

Does the fan turn? If not take it out and jump the contacts to make sure that the fan isn't the problem. On one 300D I have the fan bearings were corroded so that the fan wouldn't turn. The car had been sitting for about a year and it seems that moisture had run down the fan duct onto the bearings.Take a look at the monovalve

Why does my fool '84 300D (4drW123) heater not work .... I have replaced the push-button dash module, and am waiting for any advice on the sized-right blower fan. ...have checked and replaced the #8 blue fuse.
