[diesel_mercedes] Ignition Switch & Shift Rod Bushings

 

The new tumbler from Classic Center USA has been installed, and works fine and dandy. Now I have 3 MB keys that work the ignition, the doors, the trunk, and maybe the glove compartment (haven't tried it yet). At the same time, I replaced the plastic transmission shifter bushings which had cracked and disintegrated leaving me unable to start in park, only in neutral. My wife is pleased which makes me happy too. Next up?  Maybe the A/C kit from Barton's local shop in MA (Bart, stop in and give us the heads up). Both cars need valve adjust, A/C work, and some nut & bolt tightening. Must be time to crawl underneath and look around. Wish I had a large tree to park under so I could be a true backyard mechanic.

I get this every Summer when I run the R-12 charged AC ~ I know the evaporator drip tray's drain tube is kaputi but I never could *see* the dang thing so I never addressed it before .

Looks like the drain tue is a bit of foam with a coiled wire inside it, this rots  away and AC condensate dribbles down the floor hump and wets the carpets .

I finally found some DIY photos and writeups , it doesn't look fun but what the hell , it really needs doing and I plan (!) to clean the evaporator proper as the same time so it'll flow more CFM's of air .

Naturally it's 100* F out .
