Dear readers,

Currently i have my second benz, which is the w302 model from 2004, diesel. Before i owned the much loved SLK 230 kompressor from 1997. They are not the newest out there but a benz is a benz. Also this time its a right hand driven car. Kind regards !

thanks you very much boys, yes its a typo, its a 2004 w203. i bought it for 2500 euro. I am from the netherlands but living in india, so i have the luxury to not only drive on the right hand side for the first time, but also trough the absolute chaos which indian roads have to offer.

The engine and gearbox seem to be in great condition, as these engines are one of the best ever made if im not mistaken. especially the diesel ones which this is. The computer in the speedometer is telling me that basicly all systems are malfunctioning. srs, abs, this that. radio no power, airbags off light is always on, and the front shockbreakers are making noises.

i think the previous owner did not gave it much love, but im about to change that. as soon as i have time i will go trough all the fuses. i noticed that the frontpanel is loose and i found a few relay's in the console so they have been tinkering with it. We will see what is going to happen. If anyone is interested i could give updates here.
