    When my daughter's '04 died(driveshaft to the transmission) we picked up a '02 C230 for cheap. fun little car. Rear wheel drive with some traction control. I haven't driven a sedan/hatchback in 20 years, so I'm not used to sitting so low. Feels a little vunerable versus the Discovery's high...

    Green sludge in oil cap. Timing cover? or slipped liner?

    Just had the head gaskets done 100 miles ago. I noticed the other day that my temps were starting to swing a little bit. Seeing the expansion tank was low, I bled the system again. Truck ran noticeably cooler and temps were consistent. Couple of days later, same thing. temps started to...
