    Interesting DI

    The engine specifications suggest about as slow as the land rover diesel engines. Mercedes Benz OM617.952, 5-cylinder turbo from W123 300D: 125 hp and 180 ft-lb 200 Tdi and 300 Tdi: 111 bhp and 195 ft-lb I swapped an OM617 into a dangerously underpowered W123 240D, which originally had the...

    Looks more like Marxist revolutionary Che Guevara. The Ebay seller should be arrested immediately as an enemy combatant and held indefinitely in a clandestine CIA prison. Additionally, all commie oil, water, and underwear stains will be confiscated.
