1976 300D wont shut off
I have to push the "Stop engine" lever under the hood to shut the engine off. I have owned the car for 10 years without this happening. It has now occurred twice today. Should I be looking for a mechanical malfunction or an electrical connection?
Best Regards,
Eric

85 300TD Alternate Hood Release Fix
I Just Broke my Hood release cable. After I open the hood, can I cut the cable about three feet from the hood end, and reroute the shortened hood latch end over the left headlight? There I could make a loop in the end and kinda hide it on top of the light? I think I can remove the outer sheath and just use the wire to unlock the hood. Please comment on the feasability/drawbacks ..... thanks

1979 300SD Turbo Diesel: after-market turbo advisable?
Ken,
Thanks for the products and advice thus-far.
My 1979 Mercedes 300SD Turbo Diesel is running great (knock on wood!), and always gets a thumbs up.
Question for you and anyone in the forum with experience with my model and after-market turbos.
Would an after-market turbo work with my vehicle?
Yes? No? Why/why not? What to look for/stay away from? Other advice?
Cheers from the Bluegrass State,
Christian

injector installation 86 300SDL
Hey Kent when installing injectors back into my 86 300SDL do you recommend a little anti seaze comound on the threads? They came out pretty hard and had a little corrosion on them.

1984 300D oil under rear end
Hi all, my 1984 with 179,000 miles clocked had a litte wet spot under her rear-end today after we went for a cruise. I got underneath her and there was evidence of oil being slung around on the underbody. It was concentrated on the passenger side of the differential but hard to pinpoint. It didn't look like either of rubber boots were cracked so I am leaning towards the axle seal on the differential. Does it sound like I am going in the right direction? Looks like one of those cheap-part-lotta-labor type jobs. Thanks, Mike
