Nice work Clarky,
thanks for the links, I looked at all the 4wdaction pages you did,
impressive.
I've learnt a lot about the motor from my 2006 300c, which today decided it needed new glow plugs.
I've already had to change the pink park brake lockout thingy, the crank angle sensor, the alternator (I spat it that time and made it sit in the driveway for 3 months) and the turbo actuator. The stealership wouldn't sell the actuator without the turbo, claimed they were mated or some such crap.
I found Turbo Technologies in the UK and had it refurbished for $460 including postage.
There's a guy in the states that has a plug in fix for the swirl motor as well for about $50.
In spite of the problems I've had, it was the motor that clinched the deal.
It came with an ARB bullbar so we will put a winch on and 2 spotties, and the wife wants black mags and muddy style tyres to make it look tougher. Think she might be going through her 2nd childhood but since it will be her daily drive.....
Anyway, lots to learn and again thanks for the links.
