Enjoy!
Great photos! More impressive when you know the circumstances...but I'm curious about the distributor failure, first time I hear that happen on an M103, any idea what mileage his distributor had done?
Great picture's, as always. Thats some recovery there. Give my regards to Freyer, i'm sure his G will be back very soon.

Great pictures, please keep it up, always a joy to see your adventures.
RE/: Rotar shoe failure, although not very common does occurr occassionally. I have experienced them in my working life with G-Wagens. They do tend to happen between 65,000 to 95,000 miles intervals. I would suggest this to be kept as spare in the vehicle, they are inexpensive.

Thanks for the experienced input Rakesh! I am weighing whether or not preventive replacement of the rotor and points is in order (114,000mi). At least he got a little warning, but I guess that's not always the case.
Quiet at work lately..?
brilliant pics as always Isa!
sorry to hear of freyer's mishasp, but hey its probably for a reason and possibly prevented a worse problem that could have hsppened.
but once again this is a reminder of whats needed in the boot of my G other than full valeteing kit that sav still cant get over :oops:
:lol:

Curiously Freyer's G has some proven 80,000 miles and yet the distributor cap had the manufacture year as 1995, being a 1991 G. This means that the part had already been replaced after 1995 and it was toast (due to condensation, the contacts iside the cap had blue rust).
