In the steering wheel picture???? The light controls are just to the right of the wheel, and it has a little light on it to indicate whether the fog lamps are on or not. Is that what you mean????
LOL! This is the second one I have come across that has been just left, I did give the "owners" of this some money for it just because it was in great condition (and because I am dating their daughter ) but still a great find I do believe
Thanks... I didn't know that it could run "bio fuel" will have to try and track some of that down. even in really cold whether does that work? I was under the impression that it would wax up super quickly especially in one of our typical frosted mornings even though he lives in a shed
Thanks for the link also, Here in Wagga there is a merc specialist who he and his father have only ever worked on mercs and the young fella (I use that term loosely) did his apprenticeship on the 300D's so they have given some good advice and have told me to look into setting the Tap-its in it... however your site wont be forgotten
that is bizzar that bit of trivia by the way

Welcome to the Benz club!
However, I'll be leaving the club soon for a different kind of oil burner...
You know there is a Mercedes club for those who have done a million kilometres in the same car? Got a lot of members too. I've had two Merc oil burners in 15 years, sold the last one to a friend at 500,000 kms and this springer I'm running now has only 200,000 but recently has loosened up and fuel consumption has improved to 36mpg. Itr's only a 2000 220CDi auto break though, nothing like your solidly built car. Both cars have hardly cost a penny except routine maintenance but I do advise a 6000 mile (10,000 kms) oil change though for longevity's sake. That car will see you through 20 years if you look after it!
yeah i have heard of this club, it seems very possible to get these engines to last that long, whether this one does because it was left for so long will be the issue... but it was looked after before it was left and will be very well looked after now... I was going to change the oil about every 2,000-5,000k's... thats because I am a little obsessed about this kinda stuff
worst part is, drove the car from where the car is kept at my parents farm (untill I finish Uni) to Wagga for a run and the car was here for 2 hours max, and I had someone try and take the badge off the front! was very angry

If you use synthetic motor oil you can extend the oil change intervals 1000-2000 km or so (trust me its worth it). The only bad part is you can never use the excuse "my car is falling apart" to get a newer car with diesel Mercedes cars from the 1980s (they are as close to indestructible as a car can get).
If 140k miles is quite fresh, then what would be a high mileage for this car. I guess these old mercs were built to last, unlike many of today's cars.
