87 300TDT IP shut off valve

My 87 300TDT has began to be hard to start after it has warmed up on a warm day here in FL. Has left my wife stranded 2 times. After it cools off overnight it starts right up and runs fine. I am thinking that it is the Injection pump shut off valve- The IP was replaced by Mercedes about 2 years back and they did not replace the shut off valve. Could some one describe what happens when this valve begins to be intermittent or fail? Many thanks, David

Loud reverberating whining noise coming from dashboard

Roughly 5-10 minutes after start (seemingly on colder days) my 1978 300D emits a loud reverberating whine that seems to come from the driver's side of the dash. While intermittent, it is quite unsettling. The best description I can give for the sound is that it is similar to the sound one might hear from a poorly lubricated fan (where the grease in the motor is caked with grime). The sound happens without either climate control or defrost on. Is it A/C related or something more serious? I know the vacuum system is in that general vicinity, but what else might be causing the problem?

1986 300e rear suspension stomping noise

1986 300e 5 spd.(Manual) car starts to sway and jumps on high speed. I thought that the rear shock was going bad so I bought the bilstien HD shocks for the rear and have it installed in a local repair shop close to my home.Its much stable on the freeway. But when I drive the car I hear stomping noise on left rear when driving on bumps or pot holes. It feels like the shocks are so stiff it sounds like dug dug dug dug it feels the rear is falling apart could it be the installation not installed correctly. The noise was not there before. what part is worned out to make this noise.
