1985 300td Ball Joint Replacement

diy ball joint replacement - 1985 300td Sedan

Currently squeeks like an old couch! Just embracing the diy arena after the local mechanic quoted 3.1 hours labor for each joint (it it true???) Have ordered replacement ball joints. Any helpful hints or how to is appreciated - have searched the site. Your input is valuable - is this doable for the novice, novice, first timer?

82 300d Monark fuel primer confusion

Hi,

I am again successfully confused by the website, so need to be unconfused once more:

On your website under the item "Heavy Duty Monark Ultimate Hand Primer Pump" I have read the following sentence: <...works great with SVO WVO fuels> therefore I bought the pump.

Then once I received it, the instruction booklet that came with it said: <...Its only disadvantage, it will not work well with bio-diesel and it may not work at all with waste vegetable oil SVO/WVO...>> but the problem, that is what I want to use with eventually.

82 240D transmission flaring on upshift

1982 240 D w/ 180k. Transmission flares ( sounds like its slipping) on all upshifts. Worse when car is under load (ie. uphill or hard acceleration) . Not as noticeable on manual shifts. Recent fluid/filter change no help- old fluid looked great- no metal in pan. Adjusted vacuum mod. valve for firmer shifts w/ no change. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Jon
