Subject: [diesel_mercedes] w123 Key & Tumbler Replacement

 
I got some new keys for my 1983 w123 300d (Martha) because the keys were sticking and it looked like trouble was brewing in the ignition  after 300,000 miles. Turned out the tumbler needed to be replaced also as it was apparently replaced by the previous owner so I had one key that worked the doors and trunk, and another key worked the ignition (but it was for the wrong VIN #). So, here is the best Youtube video I found on easy replacement, and then I bumped into a series of general videos you might enjoy. ps the keys and tumbler came from Tom at the Classic Center.

[diesel_mercedes] Re: Improved fuel economy

 

Using the 2 second(staying two seconds behind the  vehicle you are drafting) rule puts you well behind the truck.  You could get closer and get more savings but that is dangerous.  Once in a while a truck I was drafting hit 65 and that is the speed limit.  Following the trucks only cost me about 7 to 10 minutes driving 100 miles.  Going 65 to 70 I get closer to 20mpg.  Lawrence Rhodes
