I recently purchased a 1983 300D with about 148k miles. There are a couple items that don't work, but I'll limit this post to the most critical. On the dashboard, the oil pressure indicator is at zero and does not move at all. I am reluctant to drive the car until I can find out if it is a faulty guage or if there is in fact no oil pressure. Any ideas?
(The other items that don't work are the tachometer and the cigarette lighter)
I bought a '81 300D and it would start easily through the fall, when it started to get cold (25-32 deg F) it was still starting. I went out and tried to start it when the temp had dropped into the 20's and I have not been able to start it since (even now that it is summer time). I have checked the glow plugs, I replaced the priming pump and fuel filter. I have loosened the fuel lines at the injectors and I am not getting much fuel squirting out when I crank the engine.
What activates the Electric Radiator Auxiliary Fan Motor and when should it be running?
I'm replacing the rubber on the doors. The info re the outer scrapers in the MB manual is rather sparse. Any nuances I should be aware of prior to taking this on? Best regards. J.
Fuse #14 keeps blowing. Here are the electrical issues I've noticed:
1. The car will only start in neutral.
2. The glow plug buzzer does not go on (but the glow plug light works).
3. After the buzzer stops working the AC blows hot only.
Fuse #14 certainly could impact the AC because according to the fuse diagram it controls "control unit/water pump/heating water valve for climate control system.....". But what about the neutral safety switch and the glow plug buzzer?
I have an 85 300td that is in need of new axles. My car has the Homokinetic Axles that have the "can" on each end where both ends of the axles look similar.
A friend of mine gave me a new set of Annular type Axles with 6 or so bolts on one end.
Are these axles interchangeable without any modification?

My diesel starts great idles on all 5 no miss but when you start going down the road she misses intermittently at lower rpm quits at mid and high range rpm until she is up to temperature then she's fine she doesn't smoke and she has power up the kazoo any idea's? I have run 2 can of diesel purge set the valves no change. Bad injector maybe?

My family is preparing to move to Delaware from Oklahoma. As I understand it, Delaware is in the "Rust Belt." I'm wondering if there's anything I can do to prevent rust problems before they happen. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
