    2000 E320 Poor Radio Reception

    Nope, the rear window defrost seems to work well, fuse therefore should not be an issue. I've never tested the alarm, not even sure how it works. I disconnected my W124 alarm years ago. Is the amplifier part of that circuit? Are there any resources to find wiring and CAN bus diagrams of this car?

    Central Locking Pump Woes W210

    My trunk lock will now work exactly 10 times before it goes inoperative. A power re-set solves the problem! Now, to figure out how to analyze the CAN bus to figure out why it is going into fail safe mode in the first place.

    2000 E320 Poor Radio Reception

    Unleaded in a diesel!

    Figuring most pumps swim in petrol or diesel as lubricants, I'd run it until you experience a failure. Just be sure there is a good filter between the pump and the injection system. Uzzervize, tiny particles if they develop will end up in your injectors...

    Unleaded in a diesel!

    Neighbor's mother filled her BMW 325i E30 with diesel. Her son was getting all sors of misinformation on how to remedy it. She drove it a block before it stopped and was towed. Dealer wanted to replace the fuel system, independents wanted to do about the same, another said she needed to boil...

    Central Locking Pump Woes W210

    Well, I'm now about onto my 4th used pump in as many months to solve an inoperative trunk lock. Today I opened it to go to the store, and upon returning in 30 minutes it no longer works. Same MO yet again. Everything else on the car works fine that uses vacuum, the trunk opening feature just...
