[diesel_mercedes] Glow Plugs

 

You know what I really love about changing my glow plugs?  It is dropping the 8mm nut into the dark pit of death, discovering you don't have any 8mm nuts although lots of 9mm and 10mm, and then driving to Autozone to buy a pack of 8mm nuts.  Reminds me of the Harbor Freight metric socket kit I got Saturday on "sale" - it must have been on sale because it did not have 12mm sockets, although it did have all the other sizes.

Re: [diesel_mercedes] PAP Ontario

 

Apparently not an LKQ. He said the name and it started with a "W" I believe, so I assumed it was an independent specializing in diesels. But, it was just a quick conversation while going out the gate, so no guarantees.

Re: [diesel_mercedes] PAP Ontario

 

Brian,

I wonder which Anaheim outfit it is, as the Beach Blvd PAP is the same
company LKQ, as Ontario.

The yard boss told me that diesels are getting thin because some outfit in Anaheim is outbidding them (he said $1000 per car, don't know if that is true or not). But ROB, is there an outfit in Anaheim "?W?" that is gobbling up MB diesels? These PAP's are now a nation wide corporate chain so their policies are getting standardized which means my w123 diesel searches may have to expand to "independent" yards. Anyway, the two empty rows at Ontario may be worth a look next week. They may even show up on the website assuming the guy who fills them also puts the info into the computer.
