Well, my 240 did something for me. Does that count?
2 weeks ago, I finally got it back on the streets. It had been parked for almost a year. Well, summertime in Texas is HOT! Especially without A/C. It was working before I parked it so I was a little dumbfounded when it didn't work. I would turn it on, the idle would raise (like it should) but the clutch never engaged. I did a little rooting around today with it to find out the problem. I found out that I had power to the coil. My prognosis? New compressor (can't just get a clutch now a days). Tonight, after work, I drove around, in the rain, to the parts stores shopping for compressors. On my way home, the windshield started to fog up. I turned the fan on and selected defrost to get air across the windshield. I noticed the air was a little chilly. Definitely too cold even for a rainy evening. I selected the face vents and sure enough the air was cold. I got back home and immediately raised the hood. Low and behold the damn thing is working.
My car fixed itself for me so I wouldn't have to spend $250 for a new compressor.
