If anyone has or sees one , manual window only .

I have found the lift new afordably but this door has Bondo in it so why not replace it at the same time with a good used one ? .

I know there's a good one in So. Cal. , I just have to beat the bushes and find it...

TIA ,

Going home from work now , HAPPY FRIDAY !! .

If you had to, could you replace a manual window/door with a automatic? I am thinking of just the guts, not a color match. Both my 240's have manual windows but I have two 300D pARTS Crs. Just thinking in advance as stuff seems to fail. Max

Subject: [diesel_mercedes] Dang Cheap@## Cars !

 

I can't believe how poorly these cars were made .

I drove up to work this morning @ 0-Dark:30 and when OI lowered the driver's side window to open the gate , I heard a  ' pop ' noise and the glass remained down .

I guess I'll have to go looking for a spare door now , W-123 driver's side front if anyone has or sees one .

Light color or white is a plus. - Nate

It was 04:00 so I didn't yet need the AC and I have to open the window to get my pass card close enough to open the gate ~ L.A.P.D. security blah blah blah....

I'm glad it broke on me instead of SWMBO .

Whats the deal with fuel prices? A while back I heard high diesel prices were high because of "tree hugggers",ULSD and all.

I suppose you can blame the "tree hugggers" for the low prices too.

Now diesel for the first time in a long while has dropped below gasoline prices. Ehhhhh? I just got 250 gallons for $1.97. Wow, o my. I am driving my auto 240. I better check the mileage, it sure seems to go tru the fuel quicker that the 4-spd.
That's cheap, enjoy it while you can.

Hey Rob, are your folks impacted by the fire south east of SAC.?

No, my folks are closer to where the Rim Fire was, though they know folks near the Butte fire. There was lots of smoke around up there for a few weeks.

Up here we hAVE Had  rain and cool temps and a normal seeming fall. Anyone heard from Tony? Starting to wonder, no check that, been worried for a long time now. Old guys tend to drop off. Max

[diesel_mercedes] Fuel Economy Check '82 240D Slushbox

 



?? 28.6 MPG isn't good ? .

I expect it to climb right back up to 30 MPG once I overhaul the engine , it has one very low compression cylinder .
