Diesel RVs: Re: [diesel_mercedes] Routine Lock Lubrication

All I found in my little town was graphite. These heaters in these cars work soooooooooooooo good. I think I could bake something in my car on the way to town. I didnt know it was that cold in Germany. I had a 63 VW bug what a POS, worst car ever built. Ok, Ok, if you are a California beach girl with Birkenstock s then maybe OK car, but in the north country, no way. Spent my first winter here with that car. 6V I had to get a 8V battery to jump it to start. Pedels froze to the floor as it got to -20 every single year in the 80's. I had to carry a propane solder torch to un stick the pedals. Sure glad someond invented Subaru, national car here back in the 80's, only 4wd car untill Toyota came out with the Tercell. Looking for a mild winter. It's been raining unbelievable for the dry side of Washington. Max
