In the '77 ~ 85 series W-116 , W-123 & W-126 cars one of the four wire clips often remains holding the lid or slips back on , I often have to hold the rear most clips free as I lift the lid off otherwise it appears to be stuck fast .

We drove it up to Ventura to chat with the Body & Paint guy yesterday , four adults & windows down as the AC quit .

439 miles , 27.1 MPG ~ lots of rapid acceleration too ~ this Wagon goes like a scalded car when I tromp the throttle .

The Hydraulic SLS rear suspension works a treat too ~ it never dips , wavers , bottoms out no matter what .

SWEET ! .

I should prolly go find a junked Wagon and scavenge this SLS system for my Coupe .

Of course that would entail changing the cylinder head but still and all it's a simply _marvelous_ suspension system .

[diesel_mercedes] Fuel Milage Check '82 240D Auto AC Used

 


With Startron .

214 miles , AC used almost constantly , SWMBO driving (the wretched Toyletta Corroded is gone now)

22.1 MPG's , I'm betting it's low because she prolly leaves it idling with teenagers trying to blow the new speakers whilst she's in the grocery store....

[diesel_mercedes] Re: 1977 glow plug relay wanted and/or pinouts

 


Just ask Brian to grab one on his up coming P-A-P jaunt .

Have you take the old one apart for cleaning & polishing of the contacts yet ? .

I know new ones are available making the amoratized price very low indeed .

I really don't think the push button Ford relay set up to be a wise idea except in extreme cases because too short a heating interval means hard starting & cylinder/injector coking , excessive starter wear , whilst over heating will cause short glow plug life , this is why the early cars had the " Salt Shaker " illuminating device and the later cars all went to the timer relay ~ in the long run it's cheaper and more reliable .
