240D has a slight wobble at 35-45 mph
I have an '81 240D and it recently started to develop a slight wobble to it at around 35mph and it goes away around 45mph. Any suggestions. Don't beleive it is a tire issue.

Towing a 240 D
I have sold my 240 D with manual transmission. The buyer wants to rent a tow dolly and tow the car about 300 miles.
As long as the transmission is in neutral of course, is this ok?

240 warm up loss of power
My 1982 240 D will loose power shortly after warming up, particularly noticable when attempting to accelerate or go uphill. During these times I can manually downshift the automatic transmission and the engine speed does not respond. Once I crest the hill and reach 45 miles per hour there is a sudden surge in power. I have changed all filters, and two different diesel mechanics in our area cannot figure it out. The car is a wvo conversion, and the same phenomenon occurs wether on diesel or veg. On a cold morning or when the car is first started this does not occur. Any suggestions?

Sporadic oil pressure needle
!985 300CTD;150,000miles. During a 7 hr trip at highway speed the oil pressure indicator needle stays at a constant "3". When reducing speed & coming to a stop or idling the needle bounces (is not steady) at just under "2" & a "thumping/knocking" sound comes from the gauge area but is not heard when the engine rev's up. The engine runs quite well & pulls strong. The oil/filter was just changed & I have used synthetic diesel 15w-40 in the vehicle for the past two oil changes@5000 miles per.

Speedo Drive Unit
I need a manual speedo drive for my transmission, I currently have the electronic version. First, can these be swapped, and second, does anyone know where I could get one. It's an 83 300d.
Thanks,
Brett
