Thanks for all th great suggestions. Fortunately (?) I have 2 123's both pretty much the same, one's a coupe, one's a sedan. I'll split the driving chores between them with an occasional blast for my gasser too. I can't hear so all this great and wondeful new ways of listening to music don't do much for me. Course, makes the diesel sound pretty fine to me too :-) I'm going to super-service the trans with synthetic, Trans-X and some vacuum work. It flares a bit but not too terribly. The car is comfortable on long runs so it should be ok for a big day after day commute. I guess this is one of the biggest advantages of these old 123's, they run forever and even when stuff breaks it's not usually critical. New brakes this weekend and a valve adjustment the next, good for another 20K.
