'83 300TD Footrest removal
I'm having difficult removing cracked footrest. Footrest is connected to plastic kickplate with 2 plastic rivets. Kickplate seems attached to car body with a clip on the inside. I cannot remove kickplate no matter which way I pull it. Also, do I destructively remove the 2 plastic rivets holding the footrest? Do you sell new rivets? Thanks for your help.

1983 300D Turbo Boost Improvement Next Steps
At ca. 154,000 miles I have been slowly bringing the engine performance back to snuff. I recently rebuilt my turbo using your excellent kit. The compressor and turbine blades and shaft were in excellent condition so I opted not to purchase the replacement set.
Prior to the rebuild my boost pressure at 4000 rpm was 9 psi. Following the rebuild, there was no improvement in boost pressure. Per your instructions, I tested the waste gate (with a bicycle pump) and it appears to work.
The ALDA tube and Banjo bolt are clean; I've installed a new air filter, adjusted the valves following your instructions, installed rebuilt Monarch fuel injectors, and did a diesel engine purge (which was clean) and replaced the fuel filters.

Which multimeter to buy?
Quick question. What should I look for in regard to the capacity of a multimeter in regard to max amperage, etc for it to be effective for all possible testing uses on my '82 W123 and '92 W124 300D turbodiesels?
Any other recommendations for "multimeter must-haves" are welcome.
Thanks!
