I understand that this is true, but evidently the crew at Haynes has to take a break and think about the best way to proceed. If you have the MB Diesel 123's manual, turn to page 212 and look at figure 17.3 which shows the radio retaining screws. This procedure took at least 2 cigarettes to figure out..... I also noticed that there was no ashtray R & R section. They had obviously misplaced it as is suggested by figure 17.3. ;-) Jon ------------------------------ End of diesel-benz-digest V1 #285 *********************************
