1985 300D Turbo noise whining
Kent, thanks a lot for all the manuals and advice you've handed out. We now have 3 300d's that run well and were broken or barely ran when we bought them.
Now to the annoying stuff...there's a noise my '85 300d is
making. It wines, especially before it's warmed up all the way, when I'm
going less than about 45mph and loudest at around 35mph sustained speed. It
also will go away entirely if I stomp on the gas and when the car shifts
and the rpm's change which makes me think it has something to do with the

1977 W123 dash lights not working
My dash/center IP lights don't work. I already tried replacing the dimmer switch and that didn't help. I replaced the headlight switch when I first got the car so it might have something to do with that since the replacement one was not exactly like the one I replaced. I've also checked all the fuses in the fuse box and replaced the bulbs with ones that were tested. All the warning/turn signal lights work, just not the ones that light up the dash/trans/etc.

'85 300SD Lifeless and won't turn over
Wow! Times like these I feel really alone in rural N.W. Indiana!! I went to change the radio (cassette) to a more modern am/fm/cd Blaupunkt Saturday night. Speaker wires were the hangup and I was told I need a floating ground adapter...? I thought each speaker had both wires coming to the radio and I could connect them as such to each corresponding lead from the new radio. The "experts" said I'd fry the radio and wanted to sell me this "floating ground adapter" for $40. I didn't buy it...I re-installed the former Becker original and had to re-splice the brown ground wire as I was all set to splice and connect ASAP.

1983 300 SD Vacuum Problem
Had minor vacuum problems (power locks don't work) but lately, trans shifting is slow. When engine is warm and reversing from parking, I need to rev the engine a bit before it shifts into Drive. Also, it takes a little longer to shift from 3rd to 4th with motor revving a little higher and a little longer.
I went to Kent's "Diesel Vacuum Source Troubleshooting and Repair" booklet and here's what I found. The booklet suggests the vacuum to the Injection Pump Shut Off Valve be tested. My car does not have one of those!
