83 300td Stripped Hatch Struts
I was trying to replace my hatch shocks and stripped what i thought was a torx head.
Any ideas on how to remove the stripped bolt? Do i have to replace it with the same style bolt or is something from the hardware store ok?
Thanks for any advice!

'81 240 D, green vacuum line question
Used Mercedessource repair manuals and vacuum pump to find vacuum loss on green line going into firewall. Comment in manual suggests this is vacuum line to Climate Control. Not sure this car ('81 240D) has climate control.
Pulled instrument cluster and could see vac line going into upper center of dash. What does it connect to and where would I find it? I hate to start pulling the dash only to find it was a simple repair if I had just known where to look...
Thanks!

1980 300D oil pan heater
Kent,
I recently installed the Meyle oil pan you sell on your website on my 300D. I'm planning to purchase your oil pan heater kit too, but before I do, I wanted to make sure it would work. You warn that the heater won't work on a "ribbed" oil pan, and the Meyle pan does have a few indentations in it. Should I consider that "ribbed," or no? Thanks!

300D Leaking Valve Cover Gasket
I have completed a valve adjustment and replaced the valve cover gasket. After running the car, oil can be seem around the edge of the gasket where it meets the engine block. The bolts are tight and I donot understand why there is a leak. The gasket was obtained from a OEM operation. Should I get a gasket from the dealer? Have other people experience this problem?

1985 300TD Wagon, Warped Dash Wood
My zebrano? dash wood that covers the climate control is warped, or cupped. I have the recommended adhesive, and it's worked great on some of the long rectangular pieces of dash trim. I was looking for some advice before I try oiling up the piece of trim and weighing it down with a stack of books.
Any ideas?
