1984 300D windshield seal(s)
Hi all. I have the typical water leaking in the front windshield and rear due to the seals being 25 years old I am guessing. My question is: The rubber on the outside of the car under the shiny trim piece, is that a seperate seal from the rubber that is on the inside of the car that the glass sits on? Or is it all one big gasket?

83 300CD starter engaging problems
My Uncle is driving my 300CD out of town and he called asking if I've had a problem with turning the key and it not starting, which I haven't. The car has always started as long as it isn't in gear, which isn't his problem. He said that it would start sometimes on the first turn and some times it was taking multiple try's. Seems like it might be the ignition switch. Any suggestions on trouble shooting?

84 300D a/c vents not working
My 1984 300 turbo d (new to me) blows cold air out of the wind shield defrost. Nothing out of the center vents and yes the're turned on. Is this a vacuum issue or a servo issue? In either case where do I look for vauum leak? I had the under the dash panel off and there are 2 (that I can see) pretty pink plastic things. Would those be the servos?
Any advise would be helpful
Thanks

1985 300D Turbo, CA mod. w/ trap oxidizer: vacuum line connection
After doing some engine work, I could not get the engine to shut off. I checked all the vacuum lines and connections, which were ok, including testing the fuel shutoff valve and checking the line to it for grease (none). From previous testing, I know that the vacuum pump works well. I thoroughly studied the "Vacuum System Troubleshooting" manual. I noticed that there is one black vacuum line which remains unconnected, the one with a damper from the vacuum transducer which supposedly goes to the automatic transmission vacuum modulator. When I plug this line with my finger, the engine stops.

1984 300D STARTING PROBLEM
Hi,
Sometimes my diesel engine will not crank. I recently put in a new ground strap, starter, alternator, and battery in the last year. All appear to help for a while and then it happens again. Is this common?
Thanks,

84 300D Front suspension is lower than rear ??
My 123 sedan has an unusual look in that the rear suspension is higher than the front similar to what people try to achieve with sports cars. Is this typical? Can this be just worn out shocks or are springs fatigued?
