83 300D Turbodiesel - Strong vibration under load
I recently purchased this 83, 123 chassis Turbodiesel about 3 months ago. It has 160K miles and has been very well maintained. I recently replaced the injectors, glow plugs, adjusted the valves twice, with three weeks between adjustments, and the compression currently checks out at 340,380,380,380,380. I got quite a bit of benefit from doing a diesel purge, banjo cleanout, and ALDA adjustment. All of my efforts are aimed at bringing this car as close to optimal operations as possible.

79 W123 300D-Blown Radiator?
Driving down the interstate on my way to a gig (I'm a musician)- First noted the BATT light come on-Which I assumed correctly to be a shot belt- but also noted the engine was overheating.This is a new (3yrs old) OEM BEHR radiator I installed) Pulled over-antifreeze all over, radiator cap intact,but the top of the radiator was tilted about 20 degrees from horizontal, tilting up at the engine side, exposing the rubber tubular gasket around the top, and the metal mesh underneath. Obviously bent up somehow and in doing so disconnected the plastic housing.

1985 Mercedes 300TD Injection Pump Replacement?
My injection pump is failing. How do I purchase a used IP and be sure it will fit my engine? What, if any, part numbers are necessary to insure a proper match? And, where are the part numbers located on the IP?

'76 300D No start
Have the glow relay manual override installed. Last week I pressed the button, got glow for a few seconds, then a fast clicking. Was able to start the car. Now I get fast clicking & no start.
Battery tests fine. Tried powering the starter directly by jumping to the solenoid but I only get a click.
Not sure how to troubleshoot from here. Any tips would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Nicole

82 300TD Engine Heater
Making my question simpler. I am removing the engine plug to install the block heater. I am using a 19mm 1/2 inch drive Allen an extension and a 20 inch breaker bar. I have put some torque on it and it does not budge. I do not want to break anything. How much torque is safe? Any suggestions?
Thank you

Injection Pump Shutoff Valve Malfunction
I am having problems with my Injection Pump Shutoff Valve...when I first start the car up the Valve is in the upright position..when I shut the car off it stops down and shuts the engine off. Then when I come back to restart the car a few minutes later..and turn the key to start..the engine turns over but will not start because the Shutoff Valve is down, but when I immediately turn the key off then back on, it comes up and starts the car immediately.
