    Steering wheel horn pad coming loose.

    Hey all, Last night on my way home from work the steering wheel horn pad appeared to have shaken loose some of the anchor bolts for the horn pad. It is currently sitting slightly off and only appears to be held in by one or two of the bolts. See link for pic...

    Battery light remaining illuminated when key Is off and removed.

    Background: About three weeks ago I stopped to put some fuel into my car (1981 300sd om617) when I hopped back in and drove home (around the corner).

    My quest for the "right" old M-B diesel

    I can vouch from experience on the mileage of the 126. I get about 25 mpg and about 400 gallons to the tank on mine. It used to be a lil less like 21-22 range before i replaced the injectors. Since i replaced the injectors it has been running good. Albeit other problems have arisen since then.
