Supplemental info:
I ordered a couple new fan belts which should be in next week. This sucker eats 'em pretty regular.
The essential safety issues -- brakes, suspension, vacuum pump -- have been fixed.
It makes a tapping noise when cold. Adjusted the valves and ran a couple cans of diesel purge, which helped for a while. I suspect an engine teardown will be needed.
Reason:
New job with long commute (live near ATL airport, work in Roswell) means I need a new DD. Benz is lowest on my fleet depth chart, so it's going.
Will jump back in once my fleet re-organizes, probably with a 300, though they seem to be fetching crazy prices now. A good mechanical injection diesel should be part of every prepper's motor pool.
It served my stepson well as a training vehicle, and I wanted to give the STD readers a heads-up before I just trade it in on my next purchase.
Diesel:
79 240D -- auto
Gas/Petrol/Benzin:
02 RAV4 -- daily driver
94 Jetta -- obsolete for 24 HOL -- heading back to the street
85 K5 Blazer -- 377 SBC, 144ci huffer
68 GTO -- slowly rusting in garage
