transmission compatibility? 1979 300sd to 1980 300d
hi,
i have the excellent guide on how to replace transmission, and am about to try this with my dad. he has the transmission out of the parts car, a 1979 300sd, and the torque converter wouldn't come with it (broken timing chain so no turning over). before we take out the badly slipping transmission from my 1980 300d, we're trying to determine compatibility issues. any known problems?? any help much appreciated, thank you! -noah

fuel return hose
A quick question: the fuel return hose (cigar shaped) running off of my main fuel filter is failing. When I replace it, do I bleed the system like I would when I replace my pre-filter? Or, is there something else I should do? Thanks.

WVO Coversion Miracle
I've been running WVO for over a year now on a competitors system. Finally i got fed up with both the poor engine performance and my secondary WVO tank with heat exchanger built in. (I was starting to get scum build up in the tank from the constant heating and cooling inside. I also have problems with leaks and the fact that it made the temperature of my trunk rise to over 90% after a few hours was getting to me). I pulled out the system and replaced it with a system from mercedessource.com and I get a miracle. The electric boost pump and sump heater supplied by mercedescource are amazing.

Engine won't rev when cold
I am thinking of buying at a 1980 300 cd turbo . The engine starts fine but it will not rev/drive until it warms up for 5 minutes. Is this something as simple as a thermostat stuck open or possibly a binding turbo. The odometer says it has 160K miles, the oil pressure is about half way between the 1 and 2 when warm.
Thanks,
Peter
