Diesel RVs

Two things resonate with me: In 1971 my fully loaded 1970 VW station wagon got down to 5 mph cresting the rockies in Colorado. But, once over the top, we rolled into Estes pedal to the floor. And I sat on a chair last week, that for some unknown reason deposited me on the floor too.

Sounds like Sage advice Bill !

I ordered in new seals from The Classic Center along with seat repair parts and some " Just So " original tire stems....

Always something to do , right

There'll be instructions in the package if they are different intake/exhaust.

Falling down; I try to focus on what I'm doing. No multi-tasking. Don't be thinking about the next thing until I get there.

THANK YOU BILL ! .

I'm planning to order them from M-B Classic Center as I want some that'll last another 356,000 miles......

I was wondering if I'm supposed to use the same seals for intake and exhaust or what ? .

Lemme tell ya : this falling down crap is for the birds ! I know so many Seniors DIE from falls every day , mostly @ home and in or near the bathroom .

It's scary because each time I don't know if I'll break something when I hit .

What can I do ? I'm trying to be careful but I have to keep moving and busy else I'll atrophy and die , don't want to do that .

My back is still killing me from the three week auto trip , I've ordered up some new seat spring thingies from M-B and will hopefully begin rebuilding the driver's seat next week .

OBTW : I'm taking SWMBO 'round this week, Friday is her Birthday , to - day she announced the old '82 240D is MY car now, she only likes the Wagon .

It figures : just when i tell her it's time to dump several thousand Dollars into the 240, she no longer wants it......

Sigh .

It'll be real nice when I get it done , might wind up my Old man's Car when I stop rallying the Diesel Sports Coupe .

You might double check using http://www.rockauto.com

And stop with the falling down; you're setting a bad example for your older friends. Bill in Oregon

O.K. folks ;

It's finally time for me to do a valve job on the 1982 240D .

On the five cylinder models , one is now supposed to use the exhaust guide seal on both intake and exhaust ~ what should I order for this four cylinder ? .

TIA ,
