1981 300SD alternative air intake

Many of us with older turbodiesels are just plain tired of having to replace the air cleaner bracket, and especially the mounts that hold the air cleaner in place. I've found a possible alternative that COMPLETELY REPLACES THE ENGINE MOUNTED FILTER HOUSING AND BRACKET with a K&N filter on the end of an intake tube attached directly to the turbo inlet.

The rules prevent me from including a link to another website, but I suppose the rules do not prevent stating the other source. It's Wade Performance Products.

1983 300SD Sunroof for 126

The sunroof has worked just fine for the 5 years I've owned my 300SD, but two days ago the sunroof began to malfunction. It opens just fine, but now when it closes, the rear portion no longer jumps back up to make a flush seal with the roof.

Some other boards suggested that a plastic guide channel or rail may be damaged, but I don't know as of yet.

Please help!

A/C problem with my 1984 300DT

On rare occasions when I turn the A/C on and select high fan speed the blower is very fast (read powerful) and the temperature is very cold......Great! On other occasions in fact most of the time when the A/C temp is selected and the high speed fan switch is selected the fan is slow and the temperature is warm to cool. Yet at other times if I switch off the engine before switching off the A/C for example when refueling and then turn the engine back on the fan blows H-O-T.
