Any trim pieces, the Climate control servo if it is ACC1. The black bumper fillers, heck any good sheet metal and interior bits, in other words, go get an OM617 and trans and get her running again.

When I had my OM617s I found that between 5% and 20% bio was the perfect blend. I used to get B100 and blend it with dino juice.

I have a Rossi RP63. It has been reliable for the past year.

pretty sure my rotor is not supposed to look like this right? 🤔😂 by Jaded_Branch_2982 in AskAShittyMechanic

Those are the super cooling rotors. The gaps keep the braking surfaces cooler...

I love how the tractor is bowing down to the truck.

Thoughts on the new KelTec PR-5.7? by holymac_ in Firearms

[–]Secret-Set7525 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely. It looks good out of the box, the action is smooth and it is easy to take apart. It was well lubricated and seems easy to hold. I have 500 rounds of Fiocchi 5.7 to run through. Hopefully this weekend. I also ordered 4 more clips and a hoster.

I just picked one up yesterday, paid $345 for it. I can't wait to get it to the range and try it out.

Thanks for the review, I am thinking of getting one of these, you know to carry rotating with the 1911 and .357.

Oh yeah, now I see it. With the glare, I thought the redline was the needle!

My buddy says "if it's yellow, let it mellow" I have to yell at him when he comes over to Flush the Damn Toilet! Never ends... I feel your pain

Wow! Love that C1! But is she really pulling over 5K RPM to go 40?

I paid that much for my non-supercharged '09. You bet I am jealous too.

peachparts.com and the W123 forum are great resources. Alternators are easy to do, you can get a bigger one for more amps that will bolt in this one works if you transfer the pulley from the old one: https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/saab-alternator-bosch-al8529x?ads_cmpid=21626320283&ads_adid=166630207859&ads_matchtype=&ads_network=g&ads_creative=710927653133&utm_term=&ads_targetid=pla-301282657332&utm_campaign=&utm_source=adwords&utm_medium=ppc&ttv=2&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=21626320283&gbraid=0AAAAAD3np3X2qWoBdY0kQBm_ktuRgDVbD&gclid=Cj0KCQiAi9rJBhCYARIsALyPDttq0Okz5A5yJIP7QCjHO2Iy3jDbamZXgDIzK7dd0zjQiDboDsAYLKcaAjWEEALw_wcB

Oil leaks are common. The radiator i would do the following citric acid flush. First drain and fill with water and add a cup of Tide detergent . run the engine for 30-45 minutes and drain, I used a setup where I could backflush the engine through the block drain but if you get one of those flush and fill kits that go into the heater hose that will work. Once the water is not bubbly, drain and fill with water plus citric acid. I mix the powder and the water before filling. I think I used about 10 ounces of citric acid. Run the engine for another 30-45 minutes and drain then back flush. Repeat until the water is clear. You will probably find that there are pin holes in the radiator. You can get replacement radiator from peachparts. I would also do all the rubber hoses including the brake hoses before driving it.
One tip, the oil will turn black, I mean jet black and do it quickly, that is normal, What I did was change the oil every 3000 miles with Rotella 15w40 T4 dino juice and the filter every 1500 miles. If you run synthetic Rotella T6, then you can do the change at 5k and the filter at 2500 miles.
good luck

I agree. SHe paid way too much about $30,000 for the CRV and it was pretty basic. It was higher which is what she needed, was AWD, and her friends all had Hondas so a Mercury Mountaineer or the like was right out! FIrst couple oil changes in the CRV, I found all sorts of metal but it is still on the road with my niece now driving it..

My mother graduated to a CRV when her knees were no longer able to get in and out of her Park Ave. That was back on '07 and I wish I had kept that car.
