[diesel_mercedes] Re: Argh Alignment.

 

Hey Nate, Swmbo says hi.

But it looks like am gonna have a fight with the manager. Booties are just all weather private brands sold by a local auto parts chain. Given that we do fair amount of driving on not so good roads, am not going to go for the "you can corner at a he!! of a clip" high end ones. Hey in the spring we will likely visit our brat in Prescott for a week, fab windey roads in and out, any chance of getting together?
Tony.

When I release it, it slowly vibrates upward until it loses connection and stops working. I guess I'll end up zip tying it to hold it down but I'd rather fix it properly if I can. Any suggestions? I think I'll be crawling underneath it tomorrow morning. I don't know how that plug receptacle connects to the clutch assembly but it looks like even if it were screwed in, I wouldn't be able to reach the screws without taking it apart, and based on what I have read online, I really don't want to take it apart. Thanks for your help.
