Mercedes multiple electrical woes
Hi, I recently paid someone to modify my 1978 300D with an electric heated Davco fuel filter/water separator to use SVO. He also installed an additional electric fuel pump.

Mercedes Emergency Brake problems
I have a 240D 1981 and the emergency brake does not engage when I press down the pedal. It seems as though the cable has too much slack in it to be able to push out the brake shoes.

240D Injector Knock
I have a mint '82 4-speed with 120k actual miles (3k mile oil
changes since new) that has a heavy metallic knock at idle (all cylinders) and less power than it should (max speed 80 mph). Items I've done: new injectors, valves carefully adjusted, compression check (330~360 psi all), new filters (all), 2 cans diesel purge...all with no effect on noise and low power. I'm thinking perhaps injection timing might be the problem but know nothing about how to check/adjust. Also, the car does not smoke much and has excellent emissions numbers. Any thoughts? Thanks so much for your input! Kurt

5 speed trans for my 1980 240D?
I have a strong running '80 240D(I occasionally drive 85mph when no one is looking!) I have seen a five speed manual transmission for it. Do you know what the ratios are? Who it work well with my differential? My main interest is reducing rpms at highway cruise speed.
