123 Wagon Sunroof Panel Interchangeable?
Is the sunroof panel from a 1984 300 TD wagon interchangeable with any other 123 models of that era?

123 Wagon Sunroof Parts
I am rebulding a sunroof from a 1984 wagon and need to know about availability of the white plastic glides/guides for the rear of the sunroof. They clip onto a bracket at each rear corner of the sunroof. Alternatively, can I use the felt glides that fit the front corners?
thanks for your help!

1984 300D Turbo Vacuum leak
Hi,
I am losing vacuum from the black line near the oil filter housing that goes in to the firewall. I tried to figure out where it goes under the dash to no avail, it seems as if it may have been capped and the cap fell off. Does anyone know if I am right? I should add that if I cap the line, everything seems to work as it should.
Thanks,
Sal

hotwiring necessary 1986 W123 turbodiesel
Hei!
I bought a parts car without any keys. Nice late turbo diesel with 200K miles that was stalled a year ago due to electrical problems.
The ignition lock is drilled out by me to be able to steer. I have been trying to hotwire the car to check the engine before putting it in my nicer 1984 NA 300D wagon.
So far it only growls one time(nicely though without hestitation) after glowing and starting. Then it only chuckles without firing.
I have been bleeding the diesel lines x times, maybe without luck.
What am I overlooking?
-Anything with the vacuum lines in the ignition lock? (I connected the two together)
-Or maybe more wires must be connected? (I took one of the two hot red ones, then the red w black stripe, then the purple starter wire)

617 Turbo Diesel Injector Part Numbers/Interchangability
I have 5 each of these injectors:
KCA30S46
KCA30S35/4
KCA30SD27/4 (this one had a plastic cover with the number NA32X on it)
Are they interchangeable?
Will the same nozzles work in all?
The cars in question are a 82 300TD Turbo and a 84 300D Turbo. I want to rebuild the injectors and want to make sure these housings can work with the nozzles for the cars. Thank you
