Hi Camran,

Well that sounded interesting.  I guess I made the right (hurried) 
choice in replacing the whole assembly some time back on one of the 
MB's.  These blowers always fail at the most inconvenient of times.  You 
know, like the first hot day of the season when AC is key.  I remember 
crawling up under the pass area on a hot day doing that job.

Today in 86F+ Manhattan just having finished writing down the 
particulars on the fellow in the van that drove into the side of my MB 
on 50th.  He tried to claim I was at fault as he drove into my rear 
quarter.  My unmarked police escort straightened him out in 2 seconds.
Minimal damage but, it will need a days attention.  All fun.

Take care and stay cool,
Dick
