(I just sold one of my HP workstations and not sure how for the money is gonna go... :) Everyone I talk to has nothing but great things to say about Michelin... $34 a tire more... If I can get a price of what they're going for up in Vancouver BC I'll scamper across the border and buy 'em up there... There's a German restaurant up there I want to check out. :) john At 05:14 AM 10/2/98 -0500, Richard F.

My a/c-heat on our '83 300SD is no more! 'Happened first, with intermittant function, then..zap! Nothing! I Suspect a problem with climate control, but can't figure out how to access the unit (get into the console?). Does this sound familiar to anybody? No 12v -at- the compressor. No heat or cold. Vent fan blows (mostly through the defrost vents), but seems to act erratically (much delay and flaps not opening as expected). Sagely advice graciously appreciated!
