85 300CD Rear Axle Cost of Replacement
A Mechanic wants $1000 to install new axles in my 1985 300CD. This includes parts and labor. Is this reasonable? I have a 1979 or 1980 300CD parts car. Are these the same alxes? How difficult to do do the job myself? Can I use these axles? Are the 123's axles all interchangeable for these years?

1981 300SD Oil in alda line
I was troubleshooting my 300SD for low startup torque (I have already adjusted the valves, rebuilt the injectors, etc) then I went to the alda. I removed the banjo bolt from behind the turbo but it wasn't all that dirty. Then I removed the bolt from the side of my alda and engine oil started dripping out. I don't know much about this thing but I don't think this is right.
I saw one of these for sale on this site. Is this something a shadetree mechanic can change?

Slow off the mark, 1984 300D Turbo Diesel
I recently purchased a 1984 300D Turbo diesel and it was running beautifully. Then I converted to bio diesel (changed the fuel lines) and ever since I have been having issues.

1984 300D still very slow
I've followed along numerous posts on this subject and followed instructions where I could, but my car is still a DOG.
I have performed all of these fixes yet not realized much difference:
-Cleaned banjo bolt
-Replaced air/fuel filters (many times)
-StarBrite anti-fungus fuel additive
-Replaced some vacuum connectors (not the 3-ways, just the small pieces - I'm poor, but working on it)
-Replaced brake booster vacuum line - it had 2 broken nipples.
-Replaced vacuum switch levers (the two plastic things on top of the valve cover - whatever they're called)

80 300td dash noise
Screaming sound coming from the dash which appears to be related to speedometer cable. Any suggestions on if it is worth trying to grease cable or replace? Is there a way to disconnect to stop noise?

240d manual transmission
I just blew up the manual transmission in my 1982 240d (what a terrible noise and vibration). I found a 1979 that might work and I'm just wondering if it would be compatible.
