Hazard Button Buzzing Sound
I have a '79 240D with the 123 chassie. Last night the hazard button located on the center console started "buzzing". If pressed part way down, the buzzing stopped. When you let off the pressure the buzzing resumes. Is this a warning feature on this car? I'm concerned that something else may be wrong.

hard start, air in lines?
Hello, I have a 1985 Mercedes 300tdt which I have converted with an Elsbett system for wvo. It has been great for 2 years. I now have a starting problem, which might be totally unrelated, I think it is an air leak in the fuel lines. It takes two to start the car, one to turn the key and pound the petal and another to prime the pump. In colder weather it is more difficult. i suspect a gasket or seal, i just am wondering how to isolate the problem. Is this a common diesel thing or unique to veggie conversions?

Rear lower control arm rust
My rear lower control arm is rusted about on third of the way around the area where the shock fastens on. I'm considering welding on some sort of plate or bracing and then just using some por15 to keep the rust from spreading. Just wondering if this is a bad idea or if anyone has had a similar problem?

poorly running 240D
The guy who posted this video on youtube.com has been trying to fix this car for several weeks. He bought the car recently, could not get it started, so he pulled the head off, found a cracked piston, replaced it along with all piston rings on all other pistons. He claims that the compression is up to 300-350 psi in all cylinders now. The engine runs terrible. The ALDA is turned all the way out. he lives in area with 7500 ft altitude above sea level. It looks like his injection timing or valve timing is way off(timing chain was not replaced, valve adjustment was done.

adjusting wiper blades
Another water related question, sort of. While working on tracking down the water leak mentioned in my previous post, I (again) noticed that my wiper blades are uneven be a couple of inches. Is it possible to adjust them to make them more even or is this simply a matter of an aging car? If so, where can I find instructions to make the adjustment?
thx.
Also - any tips on which maintenance manual/user manual (besides the manuals for sale here, which I will certainly purchase as they seem to get rave reviews) is the best general manual to purchase for working on my new 85 300td??

water in cabin - 300td
I know many have experienced this before but this is my first 300td and this morning, after a rainy day yesterday (not too heavy), I found water in the passenger cabin towards to firewall and along the door (most likely gathered there because parked on a slightly unlevel street leaning toward the passenger door). Also a bit of dampness in the rear of the wagon near the driver side rear wheel and behind the back seats. I am going to check the drain holes under the hood when I get home, but wondering if anyone can give me a few other options to look at.
