I'm at a loss with a brake problem on my 300d. I lost brakes a couple months ago and since there were no signs of broken lines or anything like that I assumed that it was the master cylinder. I replaced it without bleeding the brakes. The brakes were better still with quite a low pedal but the vehicle was stopworthy. So I finally got around to bleeding the brakes to no avail. Still a low pedal. Also, when you pump the brakes to get a hard pedal, it's almost like the braking force is exponentially decreased.

I am about to take my front driver side door apart to repair my window,
according to Kent's manual on 123 door repair...
The window motor works fine, the mechanism is just not pulling the window
down. the regulator comes down, because I can then open the window by
pushing it down, and then when I push the button to close the window, the
regulator pushes the window up fine. Do you have any pro tips for what part
I might need to remedy this situation. I have already purchased a regulator
My 83 300D Turbo recently developed some quirks such as: surging/lurching while driving, not shifting properly(rpms getting way too high), and not engaging when put in gear. When looking under the hood, I happened to notice pink fluid flowing through a couple of the clear vacuum lines. I assume this to be ATF fluid. I began testing vacuum at various points, and found that the vacuum device on the drivers side of the transmission didn't hold vacuum, there were a couple of other connections not holding vacuum as well including one on the vacuum device mounted near the IP.
Hi... First post, just joined and i'm smiling ear to ear at what looks to be a God-send web site to those of us that love our trusty ol diesels!
I am looking for information on replacing valve guide seals on my 1981 240d.

I have a 84 300dt when I removed the face plate over the heater ac controls (to replace the bulb in the temp wheel) I found one extra bulb socket not in use total of five. one for temp wheel, two and three for vent control, #4 for fan control and one extra in the back not in use all have small 1.2 volt bulb.ps, light in shifter on and working. Any idea what extra socket is for? Question two all four switches across the top of center dash do not light up. (rear light switch, antenna ,sunroof, rear defrost) rear def lights up when activated.
Yesterday, suddenly, the rear left door of my 1984 300D would open only half way. (Bad) Today, I see a beautiful door check strap for the 123 is on sale! (Good) But it's only for front doors. (Not so good) Do you stock a door check strap for rear doors? Thanks. Jim Norman
