W124, USED Diesel Engine

1987 300e poor (No) acceleration

I got some problems with my 87 300e:
It starts good and has good throttle response in "Park". As soon as you put it in Drive there is no/very slow response and the car just does not accelerate from especially a stop.MAx speed varies from 25 -40 mph., RPM don't go over 2000.
Everyone is telling me that these engines will run 2-300.000 miles, but at this speed it might take me another 25 yrs.to get there....

'85 300D Brake cable and ABS sensor

I'm looking at an '85 300D with low miles but the emergency brake cable is snapped and there is an ABS warning light that comes on.

I know you have a booklet about the emergency brake system, but is replacement of the cable covered in the manual? How much of a "bear" is it to replace the cable from the cabin to the Y?

Since there is an ABS warning light, how hard is it to replace the wheel sensor AND since there is one sensor for each front wheel on this model (I believe) how do you assure which sensor is failing? Do you carry the sensors in stock?

Thanks,
