Radiator replacement
 
I hit a 'coon on the way home last night and knocked a hole in the radiator, and broke a couple of fan blades. Does anybody know where I can find a used radiator for an '87 300D. New fan blades are around $60. The radiators are a bit pricey

You could do a google search for used Mercedes parts and that should bring up some Junk Yards.

On some of the sites when you type in your info it gives you various locations a cross the country that has the Part and will have the price or say to call a Phone Number.

Ebay could have one but then there is shipping cost issues.

Thanks. I found a new one. It and the fan will run around $300, and they throw in the shipping. Not exactly cheap, but better than the $500 I was seeing for the radiator alone!! I had to run the engine in the temp red line for about 100 yards, hope I didn't do any damage

Got my radiator in and that tough little car is back on the road, with no adverse effects to the engine. I had to do a little subtle body work with a chain and come-along to pull the radiator mount out, so that the new fan wouldn't hit the new radiator, but everything is fine now.
