Shot this Saturday, got interrupted by rain as I was changing out the oil cooler lines. Thought it looked good enuff to take the photo. Those lines are a BEAR to R&R! Specially modified wrenches to do it, too.

Great photo - you are giving the boss a run for his money!

I love the w123. Beautiful and simple at the same time - and incredible quality. But the repair complexity scares me, I must admit!!
 
This one's a five-pot diesel, the lines are attached to the oil filter housing. Cooler is aluminum, including the fittings... the fittings at the filter require a thin 24MM open end to secure the brass in the housing. All in all a fiddly job. Had to cut the nut on the bottom of a shock damper to remove it, along with the left engine mount and jack the engine up about three inches.

The whole thing would qualify as a: "Don't try this trick at home"!
