W126, BENZ AID - COMMON QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

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.

'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
