Spoiler: this will be long, due to the convoluted path it takes, along with
documentation of what happened. This won't be pretty, including a couple of
frank language instances - and before any raving fans get out, and sharpen,
their swords, the documentation is clear, below...


I read your tale of woe and frankly it is nearly unbelievable, oh yes,
I believe that you went through all the trials and tribulation but
perhaps it should be entitled "Innocents Abroad".

Out of curiosity, why do you think you need spare injectors? Out of
all the diesels I've worked on I can only remember changing one
injector, and I'm not even sure that one was bad,

We have two 300D Mercedes. At one point we were driving across the
country and we couldn't get the car to start even with a jump. We
stopped in Charleston SC, and the Mercedes place said 3 out of the 4
of them were bad.
