W123, USED Diesel Engine

1981 300CD Brake Dragging still w/ new caliper

Aloha guys,

Back brake started dragging intermitantly for about a month, replaced both back calipers. Now it's worse! I can't even make it a mile before it's egg fry hot. Had to pry the caliper off, could not get the piston to return until I pulled the brake line off, then it went in smoothly.
Is there a valve or obstruciton preventing fluid return? It's only the back passenger side. I'm ready to disable the back brakes if I can't figure this out!

Thanks
Chris

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.

fuel leak related to power loss?

I have been experiencing an occassional power loss for quite some time now. A while back i took care of this problem when i found a loose clamp on the hose going to the hand primer pump. After tightening it and bleeding the system it took care of the problem.
Now i have a small fluid leak that i believe is coming from the bottom of the clear sediment bowl on my FM100. It is too difficult to tighten in its current position, so i have been putting off removing the FM100 filter.
Anyway, my question is this, can a small fuel leak like that be responsible for power loss?
