I've been working on my gray market wagon, routine maintenance and addressing some loose odds and ends, one of my Foster boys carelessly slammed the R.R. door on the seat belt buckle and shattered it, it still works but I can't stand knowing it's broken....
I just replaced it last Summer too, same problem, lazy & careless kids .
So, off I went to some local LKQ self service junkyards, sadly it turns out the W123 wagons use a wagon specific middle seat seat belt.... sigh .
I was able to find one in decent shape in New York and bought it, I hope it comes soon .
Whilst I was fruitlessly searching for a seat belt & retractor I ran across and purchased an air cleaner 'T' bracket for $9.95 out the door, sweet .
Coming home I wanted to reach the ProPel filling station and ran it close to empty, the low fuel lamp lit @ 353 miles, I made it to the filling station @ 437 miles, 23 MPG, no AC used, Biobor and once the low fuel lamp lit I swerved back and forth to swish the dregs of fuel and crud around in the tank, the clear plastic intake screen I replaced yesterday once again had some fungus chunks in it - less than a tea spoon worth, I changed it out and filled it up, already cleaned the dirty intake screen, I hope I'm getting to the end of this fungus problem .
Back to work on it to - morrow, I hope to get some done before y pain level gets too high to continue .
Maybe some dashboard works and see if I can find the central locking vacuum leak .
