Just acquired some primo and hard to find W123 turbo diesel parts. CLICK HERE to view all.
A 12 volt test light is a very handy tool to have when working on any car but it is particularly important if you have a old diesel. This tool will allow you to quickly determine if there is power getting to your glow plugs, and if not where the power is breaking down.
I will share with you some pictures so you can see how it performs. It works especially well to crimp the small red insulated connectors onto thin wire without the wire coming out. The cutter is sharp and cuts the wire cleanly.
Wire strippers and crimpers have come a long way in 20 years. There are a number of good options available, but this is the pair Kent recommends when working with shrink-style wiring connectors.
The leads are black and red and three feet in length. The alligator clips can be removed to give you other options on how you use them.
After years of "fighting" fuse replacement, Kent finally decided he had had enough! And so was born another special tool. It is designed to securely grab hold of a ceramic fuse, remove it from it, and replace it with minimal exertion and no damage.
