First of all: I love this car! I bought it a week ago, after a twenty-year love affair with the W123 body style. It's from the south, so no rot, runs and rides great, and is FUN! All electrical works, great looking, all my boys drool.
Biggest problem: the day after I bought it, it wouldn't shut off after it was turned off. Pressing STOP is ok when it's August, but it's getting cold, and will get old fast. Where to start?
Next biggest: trans leak. It leaked almost a quart on a day trip yesterday, all expwy@70/75, 21mpg. I decided today to try staying @60 or under - not one drop! And 30.7mpg! I dropped the trans pan, replaced filter, and topped off with AMSOil ATP. It doesn't look wet anywhere but pan gasket and lower, can't see where it could be leaking from when heavy accel.
Next: odo froze@164k. Speedo works fine.
Next: even in the blue range, heat is HOT!
Next: driver door key goes in lock, but lock will not turn.; pass lock turns, but won't lock.
Last: doggy - no turbo?
