1983 300SD Power Steering Correct Fluid ??
A local euro cars mechanic advocates using ATF in the power steering system instead of PS fluid. What are the pros and cons? If a good idea, should we use Dex II or Dex III?

84 300sd windsheild replacement
I have a crack running all the way across the glass. I was lucky enough to find and 84 300sd at a local junkyard with a perfect windshield in it. They said they would remove it and reinstall it in mine for a reasonable price. An hour later they called back to tell me that they couldn't remove it without a special tool or they would break it. I haven't been able to find any literature on the subject and much less a special tool. Any help here would be greatly appreciated. I have never replaced a windshield on any vehicle, but I am confident I can given the right information.

1984 300SD Intermittent Vacuum Loss
Intermittent vacuum loss 1984 300SD : Car won't shut off, no power brakes etc. Goes like that for a few days or more of driving then everything works normally for months on end...Back to the same problem. Occasionally when I'm heading for the engine shut off the car will slowly die before I get to it. Driving me crazy. Building good leg muscles though. Thanks Jon

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!
