This group provides a forum for owners and operators of diesel powered motorhomes and 5th wheel tractors to discuss mechanical issues, regulatory issues (US, Canada), ownership, insurance, campground accommodations, trip reports/suggestions, and other topics relevant to large RVs and the people who drive them.
Where are you in east WA specifically Max. Maybe I will come by and look at the cars in 2015, as we will be looking to locate near Puyallup in 2015-2016. Email me at strbr@juno.com with descriptions of the beasts.

Subject: 300 TD Heater Core
I looked online and saw heater cores with no tubes sticking out and o rings....does this mean there is a way to replace the o ring to possibly repair my heater core? Does o ring replacement require taking out the dash? Thanks for any information. I dread taking out the dash to find my core is good but my o rings are bad. Lawrence Rhodes.......

Uh , oh ~ I thought all W-123's had mechanical speedos ! .
I'd better go look up under the dashboard .
I *do* have a jacket ! it's in the back seat of my car just in case it ever gets cold here .
SWMBO is always nattering at me " do you have your jacket ? " when we go out .

People down there have coats? I read about the mess up at Big Bear. Thats where we went when I was a kid, fished a lot up there too. Max

Thanx Bill ;
Sadly I had to put in one specific year model , I didn't see any way around that severely limiting aspect .
Too bad as I see they list Morris Minors , I have one of those too .

Thanx Bill ;
Look at the photos ~ the European ones don't have the secondary yellow numbers .
Depending on what country it is from , it can be KPH -or- MPH , I don't really care .
Those are scary expen$ive ~ a few years ago our Junk Yards were littered with these , I shoulda bought one .
I'm not so sure being up before dawn is a curse .
Last night I remained up to 03:45 , got back up again about 07:30 , managed NOT to watch the R ose Parade although I did giggle at those poor saps who were shivering in the 36* F cold @ 07:30...

European Spec. only .
Cane be from any year / model W-123 , needn't be functional as I'll have it rebuilt and odometer reset to match my car .
I'll buy the whole binnacle or just the speedo gauge I need or travel to yank it out of any junker you find .
TIA ,
