produced during the last week in October.  This was changed by the
factory to the first week in November.  The vehicle was then produced
November 16.  Since then, the factory reports to our dealer show that it

Wow what a difference in price. I went to the parts store to price
replacement shock for the '83 300D and found that Bilsteins are going to
cost $450.00 while Ryder gas shocks are only $80.00. The questions are: Are
the Ryders OK for the MB? Has anybody used them?

my response. Now I can't find the thread to see if you responded to my

I have an '89 190E.
The ball and socket part inside the door that makes it open and close smoothly
broke at the top and bottom bolt.
So, now it makes a big "Whap" sound when the door opens and closes. Strange

Car been sitting around for 3 years. Finally got the engine to turn just to
find out the four middle electronic fuel injectors are either not getting
or, not providing the injectors with electricity. Figuered that out by
switching spark plug wires, fuel injector fuel leads, and fuel ...

I just traded in my 320 CLK and my BMW 525i for a 2004 E500.  This is my 3rd
E class as I previously owned a '92 400E and a '01 E430.  I loved my 400E.
In spite of its 195mm tires it was a true drivers car.  My '01 E430 was not
as delightful although it was a very nice car to drive. ...

My speedometer light has just burned out and I was wondering if anyone knows
how to replace them. I would like to replace all the dash light right away.
What do I have to remove to get to them.
Thank You

I have an engine light that I constantly reset, and it comes back on no
matter what I do.  The error code was EGR valve, so I replaced that, and it
came back on.  When I check the code again, the same error comes up, the
EGR.  I just bought the car about 6 months ago, so I did a ...

The left turn signal flashes/clicks at the normal rate.  The right side
however, flashes at about 3 or 4 times the speed that it should.  What could
