Every time I go to my local MB stealer I get another shock on parts pricing on older models. The cruise control module for my '81 300D is over $900 and is nothing more than a single component board. Anyone know where to get one of those testers that simply plugs onto the 10-pin connector? Also, those little check valves in the vacuum system near the firewall (mine has two) are now over $40 each. Can't be more than 6 cents worth of plastic in those things. Time to hit the dismantlers and stock up on some parts. What I don't use I can probably retire on by hitting eBay.
