1974 240D 115 - Door weather-stripping
I have purchased new weather-stripping from my Mercedes dealer for my 1974 240D 115. I removed the old weather-stripping on the front passenger door and tried to install. After carefully pushing the new weather-stripping in the door channels. The weather-stripping didn’t quite fit. About 3” to long. Is there any way to “shrink” the weather-stripping before the install? Or should I just return and order another. Any tips would be helpful.
Thanks,
Eric

82 300d Monark fuel primer confusion
Hi,
I am again successfully confused by the website, so need to be unconfused once more:
On your website under the item "Heavy Duty Monark Ultimate Hand Primer Pump" I have read the following sentence: <...works great with SVO WVO fuels> therefore I bought the pump.
Then once I received it, the instruction booklet that came with it said: <...Its only disadvantage, it will not work well with bio-diesel and it may not work at all with waste vegetable oil SVO/WVO...>> but the problem, that is what I want to use with eventually.

Oil cooler options - 1971 220D
Hello
It's been nearly a year since I sold my last Mercedes (1981 240D - my fourth diesel Benz since 1996) to pay for my honeymoon.
Anywho, it's project time again, and I'm picking up a 1971 220D this weekend that will need a LOT of love. It's a southern car that has been up here in the northeast for about ten years (only driven here the first five). It's got rust (looks fixable to me so far) and is definitely a long term project, but I couldn't pass up a running 4-speed manual W115 diesel at the price.

1986 420 SEL rear tranny seal replacement
n/a
Can someone give me some info on what a reasonable cost would be to replace the leaking rear seal on the transmission of this car. I understand that the tranny must be removed so it is not something I can tackle myself. Plus, there are specialized tools etc. required to do the job correctly.
