83 300SD starter removal tips?
Hi:
My starter motor spins and will not engage 4 out of 5 tries, so I need at least a new solenoid.
It looks difficult to get the solenoid out, what with the heat shield blocking the wiring, and because I can't seem to break the (3) screws loose.
I figure the starter has to come out to replace the solenoid. I may replace the entire unit.
It looks like the exhaust head pipe has to move, because the starter looks too big to slip out any other way. Moving the head pipe will also make access to the two starter bolts easier.

Fuel leak into trunk 82 123
I recently parked my car on a steep hill with the passenger side downhill. When I returned to my car there was fuel leaking down the street and inside the wheel well in the trunk. I unclogged the rubber piece that lets water out of the trunk and drained the fuel out. I use biodiesel and I don't see any worn through parts. Any idea how the fuel got into the trunk, all seems normal now but I wanted to make sure there weren't any safety issues.

84 300SD lock cylinder removal
The key had been sticking when I first tried to turn it over. One morning while in a rush to get the kids to school I put a wrench to the key to make it turn. My problem went from not starting, to not turning off when I turn the key off. The key now turns VERY freely and the steering wheel doesn't lock. I am trying to replace the whole lock cylinder but it doesn't want to leave its home. The cover sleeve won't even budge. The marks on the sleeve(0,I,II) have never lined up with the notch on the cylinder. Is there an alternate route to removing the lock cylinder? Or does anyone know how to get me out of this jam? It is very disheartening to pull into a parking lot proudly driving my old MB, only to pop the hood and press to e-stop to turn the engine off.

1994 Mercedes SL320 Roadster... Radio - turns on and lights up but no sound
n/a
This started out as an intermitent problem....but now just doesn't work at all.
We have a SL320 Roadster and the radio turns on (everything lights up) but no sound....no sound from CD player & weather channel as well.
The power antenna does not go up and that's a sure sign that the radio won't make any sound.
It doesn't seem to be sending a signal from the radio to the powe antenna & amp in the trunk.
The only thing we have done so far is check to make sure all connections are intact...which they are.
Any ideas?

84 300sd Throttle Linkage Adjustment
Does anyone have any tips on how to adjust the throttle linkages on a 300sd? I messed up the tie rod that sets the idle the last time I removed the VC to adjust the valves, I want to bring it back down. While I'm at it, I'm hoping to find out what all the other linkages on the valve cover do and see if I can give the car a little "tune up". The tranny hasn't been shifting quite right after I messed up the idle too.
