W126
85 300SD rear end ratio
I want to maximize my diesel economy. Is the rear end ratio in a, say, 560 SEL of that vintage interchangeable with the rear end on my 85 300SD ? What are the two respective rear end ratios? Thanks so much!

300SD with 420SEL Final Drive question
Kent,
I replaced the rear axle assembly, axles and final drive, of my 1983 300SD with one from a 1991 420SEL. I really like the result with one exception: the speedometer is off (something was wrong when I started passing everybody on the highway at 55 mph). I read somewhere that the problem would be fixed if I repalce the speedometer with one from a 420SEL. Does that make sense? The 420 has a speed sensor in the final drive, the 300SD gets it speed information apparently from somewhere else. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you

1987 300SDL Power Seats not moving back and forth
When I operate the seat switches on the doors(driver's and passenger's), only the seat backs will fold forward or backwards. The seat bottoms will not move forward or backwards, but the seat bottoms will move up and down. My 5foot tall wife cannot drive our Mercedes since it is set to my 6 foot height! Benz-aid help needed! Thank you.
