If you own a Older Mercedes Benz you soon find out that parts and labor are not exactly cheap. My 1981 300SD has now 260,000 miles and so far I have had to do most of my own repairs. I did it by asking lots of questions, going to forums and photocopying pages from the library on how repair my car. I recently run into someone on my lunch break who was working on his car and told me about a great web site called Mercedes Source that not only sells parts but has a forum for owners and also sells specific instructional manuals. So while I was under the car changing my oil a couple of weeks ago I found that one of my V-belts was damaged and needed replacing. So yesterday I ordered a set of belts and a manual, should be on Monday, can’t wait.
This photo was taken at Art Car Fest 08 by David Dasinger on flickr. I love this photo of the Mercedes Pens Fin because you can really get a good look at it up against the background. Nice job David!!!
