This group provides a forum for owners and operators of diesel powered motorhomes and 5th wheel tractors to discuss mechanical issues, regulatory issues (US, Canada), ownership, insurance, campground accommodations, trip reports/suggestions, and other topics relevant to large RVs and the people who drive them.
Stopped in front of the local hardware store & a fellow came up to me, & said he had a 300 D station waggon & I could have any parts off it that I want. Asked him how much he would charge, he said "It did not cost me anything, so you can have whatever you want no charge.
Gonna go over & have a look in a few days, its about 40 miles away.
So, here I was, under my w123 300d putting new rubber donuts on the rear muffler. The old ones were a year old and could easily have gone another year. Anyway, I see these bright shiny nuts and bolts and cables and hoses, and I say to myself, "wow, my bottom is sure clean since it was steam cleaned or power washed, whatever they did. Now that I had it done, I will pay more attention next time around. Did not see any visible damage, on balance I would do it again. That was the first time in 15-20 years that I know of.
For whatever it is worth dept. - I ended up with an extra spare tire (195_70_14) on a Bundt rim which I will store unless someone is desperate.
