Any of you guys combing the junk yards..

I could use a few things... if any of you. Have some extra time to pick parts.

I have a 95 e320

I need a driver seat switch. The one on the door. Not sure if it's worth pulling an a/c compressor? I think mine just crapped out today. And am looking for a rear bumper cover. Kinda big to ship. But badly needed. Also a driver window regulator.

Not many forums for the gassers, cept for benzworld with all their ads..wish I still had my diesel forums are great.

It's been hot in Los Angeles so Tom decided to finally allow me to replace the dead HVAC fan in his '87 W-126 300SDL .

We headed out to the local Junk Yards about 7:30AM , this first one had only _one_ W-126 in it , a gasser that some lowlife loser had owned and installed " TOTALLY JAMIN' BUMPIN' STEREO YO !" using (of course) translucent wires way too big for the job and mangling the door cards , using mixed and unmatched sheet metal screws in the dashboard and door cards......

Not overly surprising it was junked in spite of low mileage and good overall condition .

The next yard had five or six W-126's in it , only one Diesel but all had HVAC fans , I removed them all and two were replacements , German made with good brush length and one was the original (yellow squirrel cage) one , also with good brushes , I took all of them to a junked battery and tested them , the two replacement and one good bushes original one all worked well , lots of torque and high speed , quietly , the other three were working but not worth anything IMO , Tom bought the three good ones and we hied off to a shady parking lot where I installed the best of the bunch , we enjoyed nice cool and dry air all the way to a Chinese Buffet place in Arcadia , later on he gave me one of the replacement fans to tinker with , see if I can use it in one of my W-123's .

I also got a bag full of hardware and a good tested overboost protection valve but managed to lose it somewhere between the Junk Yard and home .

That's all for to - day , I think I'll go to Golden Cove to - morrow morning , they have a nice British Car Meet there once a month .

-Nate
