1982 300 cd Crank Pulley Failure Sheared Bolts
Lost power steering and thought that the belt had simply broken. Instead found that the belt had come off. In any event started the car again to a most annoying racket. Upon looking at the crank pulley assembly noticed that it was awry. Figured I would start by removing the belts and ordered a new set and the belt replacement sourcelet.

1981 240D what is correct tire size ??
I hope that, this is in the correct category.
What is a comparable tire size for the SR14 175 tires that came stock with the 240D? I am trying to restore the ride to the original intent of the engineers.
thanks

Immobilizer for 1985 300SD?
Can anyone recommend a vehicle immobilizer or alarm system that works well with a 1985 300SD? I am enjoying my new-old Mercedes...and want to keep it. There's nothing installed at present other than the standard high-security key locks and the steering wheel lock.
Best regards to my fellow dieselheads,

1982 300d Window relay?
I am troubleshooting an intermitent power window issue. Replaced the window switch on the driver's side and seemed to solve the issue. Later all four windows did not work. Tested fuses in fuse box (OK), checked contacts at both driver and passenger switches. Is there a FUSE RELAY or other item I should check before tracing the entire wiring system? I am assuming that such a relay exists...
Many thanks. --- Chris Konik

engine stumbles on acceleration Still 1983 300 CDTd
I noticed a slight "stumble"(for lack of a better word)when accelerating from a stop on slight inclines and by the end of the week it became worse doing it when accelerating from any incline and up into higher RPM. But I still had plenty of power. So I put in new Monark injectors, a valve job, new fuel filters and a Purge. Still have the stumble at lower RPM but has tons of power after the tun up. I have no problem hitting 80 at the end of the on ramp. Any idea's of where to look next? Could the fuel pump need something?

81 240D finding a Manual Transmission Replacement ??
Not really a do-it-myself'er, but figured I'd check in for some help/advice.
My engine has 149,000 miles and I've owned it for the past 40,000.
This morning, I was backing out of my parking spot and was having trouble shifting into reverse. Put it in 1st and it then shifted smoothly into reverse. Didn't experience and problems driving 10 miles to work.
