Subject: [diesel_mercedes] Saturday Afternoon
Road trip SCORE !
Last night as I was falling asleep the computer pinged and said 'you may be interested in this....' ~ it gave me a link to a Mercedes Diesel Sedan in North Phoenix, this morning I had to move my Mercedes and it kinda - sorta auto piloted itself across town to the self service junkyard where I discovered THREE W123's, one was a pristine 1979 300CD Diesel Coupe with shiny paint, it looked like a day old Thanksgiving turkey it had been stripped so badly, however it not only had the unobtanium (TM 1967) fuel flap lock vacuum actuator but IT WAS LOCKED AND HOLDING VACUUM ! 
I had to borrow a # 2 Phillips screwdriver to get it out , the only charged me $1.43 including tax for it.....
This is why I try to always carry a mechanic's coverall and pair of junk yard shoes.....
One never knows .. I've been looking ever since I bought this car close to ten years ago .
WHEEEEE ! .
