83 300TD Fast Blinking Turn Signal
The turn signals on my 83 300TD blink fast. I've replaced several bulbs including bulbs in the cluster. The signals still blink fast... Is there a way to trouble shoot this? Thanks for any advice!

1986 300sdl Transmission problems
HI, Ive got a 1986 300sdl that I have fixed some vaccum lines on and changed transmission fluid in. Transmission shifts perfectly in all gears when cold but after driving awhile it gets stuck in either 2nd or 3rd gear. Most of the time shifting it back into N and back to drive will get it to upshift back to 4th. Would like to know what to look at and how to test. I have 5in vaccum at transmission at an idle. Any help Please and thanks.

Turbocharger on 1983 300D
I noticed my turbocharger has an ARV, the vacuum line appears to go into the vacuum line block on the valve cover. It appears to be connected to an open connection. Is it possible that the ARV was integral to a 1983 turbo?? Possibly someone replaced the unit as I just purchased this vehicle. How can I tell? Thanks, Bill

Can I install a new style primer pump on my 1976 300D
My 1976 300D w115 is missing a fuel primer pump. I think it came with one mounted to the fuel filter housing. Can I remove the plug on my fuel lift pump and install a new stye primer such as the monarch one you sell? Thanks, Chuck

1979 300SD windows and interior
Kent:
Just purchased a 1979 300SD with a great engine and body, but a trashed interior. Windows are not moving, switches for windows have been removed and just dangling (someone was obviously trying to diagnose the problem).
I have ordered your interior manuals about dashboards, etc. However, where can I find good replacement parts. Suggestions for sites? Also, how about exterior parts (i.e. like trim, etc.). Any suggestions on where to find those types of parts.
Also, do you have any guidance on troubleshooting the 116 windows?

1984 300TDT shifting linkage adjustment
I unthinkingly started to unscrew the shifting linkage on top of the valve cover before removing the valve cover for adjustments. (1st time on OM617 engine) I quickly realized my folly but too late. All is back together but shifting is quite out of whack! How do you properly adjust that? I have tried to return it to where the "dirty" part of the linkage meets the connection. That made it work better, but initial startup from a stop is painfully SLOW! TIA for all your helpful responses!

'74 240D 115 Motor Mounts (w/AC)
Today I received my right motor mount and install instruction. Thanks for the timely shipping.
I have the left motor mount on order with MB. My understanding is that the left motor mount is much different in shape and install.
The instuctions do not cover the install of this left mount. Do you have any additional tips, or suggestions for this mount install?
Thanks in advance.
