Don't forget to change the subject header when you change the subject.....

If it's starting O.K,. and run smoothly on all five cylinders, wait until you get some decent weather then do it, don't wait until Summer though .

On a slightly different subject. I just bought an 83 300D with 96,000 miles on it. It came with a Mercedes Battery which looks recent. The car came with documentation from day 1 and shows that the last time the valves were adjusted was about 10,000 miles ago. What is the recommended time between valve adjustments? I have the wrenches but I'm a little light on ambition at the moment.

Thanks! Finding a low milage car with complete documentation was luck,but I'm still faced with age related degradation of the plastic parts.

Adjust valves 15,000 miles, with the engine cold.

Good deal Mark ! .

The last couple Mercedes batteries I have bought were wallymart ones, bought 'On The Fly' as we were traveling when they pooped out .

So far, so good .

I think the one in my Coupe is over 6 years old now....

I hope they're not salting the roads ! .

Hey folks,
My car has been quite reliable despite single digit temps. The last two
days, when coming home from work, I have forgotten to plug her in. The
first day, the 4 cylinder cranked slowly, but caught one cylinder at a
time. Yesterday, the battery proved itself not up to the task. I never
thought my car cranked as freely as I have heard others, so I was not
really surprised. I bought the mid-priced battery. With that one she
whipped over and started instantly.
I did not buy the car to be driven so much in the winter, but we lost a
car through a crash this summer and it was pressed into full-time
service. My only regret is that running it in snow and salt is surely
doing to degrade the body, which was quite nice.
