Mercedes Emergency Brake problems
I have a 240D 1981 and the emergency brake does not engage when I press down the pedal. It seems as though the cable has too much slack in it to be able to push out the brake shoes.

300d/240d part compatibility
I'm restoring a 1976 300D and have been offered a 240D of around the same vintage as a parts car.

240D Injector Knock
I have a mint '82 4-speed with 120k actual miles (3k mile oil
changes since new) that has a heavy metallic knock at idle (all cylinders) and less power than it should (max speed 80 mph). Items I've done: new injectors, valves carefully adjusted, compression check (330~360 psi all), new filters (all), 2 cans diesel purge...all with no effect on noise and low power. I'm thinking perhaps injection timing might be the problem but know nothing about how to check/adjust. Also, the car does not smoke much and has excellent emissions numbers. Any thoughts? Thanks so much for your input! Kurt

5 speed trans for my 1980 240D?
I have a strong running '80 240D(I occasionally drive 85mph when no one is looking!) I have seen a five speed manual transmission for it. Do you know what the ratios are? Who it work well with my differential? My main interest is reducing rpms at highway cruise speed.

Brake Problems!!!
I have an old 300td, and untill reacently have not really had much problems with the Brake system. I have had vacuum problems befor leading to Shifting and Locking Problems, and I fear that a NEW vacuum problem is now causing problems with my brakes.

Mercedes 240D won' shut off -adjust idle speed?
I recently bought a 1978 240D so I could run biodiesel. I heard all the warnings, so when it started to get slugish I changed both fuel filters. It runs much better now, and has more power, but when I turn off the ignition the engine won't stop running - even after I remove the key. I tried reducing the idle speed with the key-shaped knob on the dash, but that wasn't enough. Does anybody know if there's a way to change the idle speed under the hood, and how to get to it? Adam
