123 Rear door check strap
Yesterday, suddenly, the rear left door of my 1984 300D would open only half way. (Bad) Today, I see a beautiful door check strap for the 123 is on sale! (Good) But it's only for front doors. (Not so good) Do you stock a door check strap for rear doors? Thanks. Jim Norman

1977 300D coolant leak
Last year my parents bought me a 1977 240d with a 300d engine. I love the car because of its old style and drove it for about 4 months before pools of coolant started to appear under my car. I am wanting to fix my car now that my dad recently passed away and i need to know if anyone could help me by finding out what the cause is. I have had people tell me its a freeze plug behind the engine. All can tell is that its leaking between the engine and transmission. if anyone could answer this for me i would appreciate it and i would know that i must purchase a freeze plug.

Diesel injector differences-turbo vs. non turbo
I have a set of injectors that came off a 300 turbo diesel and I was wondering if they would work in a non turbo engine?
Just wondering what the difference would be in the two.
Thank you

617 Diesel Injector Lapping Procedure
As I continue my quest for perfect 617 Diesel Injectors & truth I have just learned today that I need to have the internal surfaces of my injectors lapped to remove grime & build-up. . .
Is this something I can do myself (lapping the surfaces) if I take on the task of re-building my 617 injectors w/new Monark nozzles?
How would I do this?
thank you & Happy New Year,
