Idle problems for '82 300 TD
I have an idle problem that will rise and then drop to a lower RPM when cold. After the engine warms up, the problem is gone. What could be the most likely cause?

1984 300D Stalling
I have replaced all filters, including the one in the tank and all looked clean. I am still experiencing loss of power and then stalling as if a filter is clogged. When pumping the manual pump attached to the injection pump, it does not have pressure. It's like there is an airlock, but engine will start. I also checked the tank and it is vented. Any ideas? Thanks.

1984 3ooTD Tailgate will not unlatch
Help! The tailgate on my 1984 300 TD will not unlatch. It won't open from the inside or the outside. Lock button pushes in... nothing. Lift the inside lever up... nothing. Unfortunately, I'm not sure it's actually "unlocked" as that whole emchanism feels wrong when trying to unlock with key. Is there a way to bypass everything and at least get it to open so it can be worked on?

Removing Crankshaft Vibration Damper 1980 300D
I need to replace the gasket behind the water-pump housing on my 1980 300D. According to the service manual I first need to
1) remove radiator and fan
2) remove all v-belts
3) remove pulley
4) remove vibration damper
It looks like the bolts holding the pulley on are all that is holding the vibration damper on. Is that correct?
perhaps I should go a little further and swap out the front seal while I'm in there?
thanks!!

1982 300CD Wheel Change
I like the look of the wheels with hubcaps on the older 240d's and 300d's. I have a nice painted set of hubcaps, but can't find a set of wheels. I would like to stick with the same 6" tire. Any Suggestions? Thanks - John

1985 300CD Low Compression #2 What Now????
Hi - When changing Injectors, I found low compression in the #2 Cylinders (160). All the others were ok (360 - 380). Is there anything I should do now, to prevent immediate complete failure? What should I expect in the near and far future, besides increasing loss of power? Thanks - John
