Well, the 280SE is on stands this week awaiting new rear disks (sorry styria - I purchased locally - I think importing from you would be too heavy on the postage). While the car is off the road, I'm refurb-ing the air cleaner housing - pics to follow.
So all week I've been using trusty rusty as my run-around. Very nice. The engine is getting happier and happier. Presently it is using Shell Rotela diesel lube oil as a flushing agent. I'm enjoying the car a lot - I'm not enjoying the fuel comsumption, which by todays standards is nothing short of obscene.
BTW, a few weeks back I used trusty rusty to tow in the W124 TE I'm working on for a friend, so I know the answer to the philosophical question
"what is the fuel consumption of a 6.9 towing a 1700kg W124?"
