Electric windows and major electrical shut down...
My 300D's blinkers and windows suddenly don't operate. There is an electrical shut down. The tachometer, gas gauge, blinkers, windows, emergency lights don't work. They all shut down at once while I was operating the vehicle. Other things like radio, wipers, clock, fan, a/c work fine.
Any suggestions would be helpful. Has this happened to you?

Transmission Won't Go Into Reverse
I have a 1981 240D automatic tranny and today I took the car out for a drive on the highway for ~30 min. then stopped at work for a few hours as I was about to go home I realized my car would no longer go into reverse. All the other gears work normally, fluid level is fine and I hear no grinding sound like its trying to go into reverse but can't. Does anyone know what might be going on??? I am going to climb under the car tonight and see if anything looks crazy out of place but I don't know really what I should look for. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

W123/617 torque values
I am looking for a listing of torque values for the W123/617 engine.
I see references in various repair guides - esp. on page #83 of the Diesel Performance Tuning & Repair - to "recheck torque on each of the locking nuts..." - where can I find those Mercedes factory torque references (other than the Mercedes service manual)?
Are those reprinted/listed anywhere else?
Also, how truly critical is it that the value cover on the 617 engine actually be officially within factory torque specs?
Any elementary guidance is greatly appreciated.
thank you,

1979 300D Non-Turbo Mileage
My 300 non-turbo with 360K at best gets only 19 miles to the gallon of diesel. What is this car expected to get when running perfectly? I have owned this car for 2-1/2 years now, and the mileage has always stayed in the 17 to 19 mpg range. Other than that, the car has the usual issues that the older cars do, like worn vent pods inside the dash, old rubber seals on the rear window and doors.
Is there anything that I can do short of disrupting the performance to increase my mileage?
Thanks.

differential gear ratio changing speedometer function?
I am excited to install the taller gearset differential, purchased from mercedessource, in my 81 300D. I'm wondering if the new gear ratio will affect the speedometer function. I have an opportunity to acquire a good speedo from a turbo if its necessary.
Thanks...
