hi i would appreciate any help/advice i can get i bought a mint 190e with snapped timing chain (k reg 100k) and sourced a 33k lump for it the only problem is my local garage installed the engine but don't know how to hook up all the vacuum pipes as the previous keeper had removed the head and they have nothing to reference from to hook up the new engine( i stay in the east end of glasgow and my garage is in bellshill) they say i need to find someone with a 2.0i 190e so they can see where the pipes connect and it would be running within 1 hour (currently they have only had it going for a few mins) so if anyone is local to the area (i know its a long shot) i would be eternally grateful (and make it worth their while) if the could bring their car and spare an hour whenever suits to help a novice mercedes owner on the road.(p.s)i have suggested digital photos of engines and recorded images but they say its not much help

I wouldn't be any help either mate as mine's a 280....I dont know if this is maybe a long shot too but what about phoning T J O'Neil's (i'll get their no in a min) in the east end and ask them they are so I'm told a mercedes specialist.

22 Camelon St, Glasgow, 778 5314 hth.....I dont know anyone with one either to ask.
