daft questions from a newbie E 300D 1994
Still new to this 124 thing so please excuse me I'm still feeling my way around it. Couple of questions:
The auto trans is leaking from the sump and some one has had a go with silicon sealer. I understand that they are prone to distortion. Tried to find a replacement on ebay to no avail. Rang GSF, nothing like it. Anybody know of a reasonable source or is it possible to straighten these things out
Second issue, a friend who has had a few old mercs (but not a 124) recommended replacing the rad by way of preventative maintenance as they are prone to failure due to sudden failure of the trans cooler which apparently lies within the Rad. Is that correct for E300D of 1994 vintage? And do they go suddenly or do you get plenty of warning before damaging the box seriously
