82 300d gradual electrical failure

My gifted 82 300d seems to have cancer of the electrical systems. First windows, then blowers and heat/cool, now locks. Where do I start looking (Seems to originate in the panel between the seats)? Is this too much for a mech head girl with no time and no garage in a cold place? Car came from my brothers estate, know he replaced a lot of engine parts, hate to dump it, but need to be realistic.

1985 300CD rear axle boot repair / interchange ??

I believe I'll have to order your can style axle drive shaft, Item: SRG-COMNRAS. After hearing a loud knocking noise, sounding like a loose U-joint, I discovered both boots torn on the left axle. No idea how long they've been this way. I cannot make the axle move to show looseness by hand and the knocking is not all the time while driving. The left axle is the can style. The right axle is the bolted spyder cover style. The boots are not torn through yet, but show cracking. Do you sell replacement boots for this style? I was not able to find this specifically on the web site.

1983 240D Throttle linkage problems

file:///C:/Users/Norman%20Sumner/DSCN4878.JPG
Kent,
Do you know if these grommet/spacer can be replaced or do I have to fabricate something to fix whatever they are called. In case the picture does not work. The items I want to replace are part of the throttle linkage. The linkage comes straight from the firewall to a forked plate. The forks go through two slots, and the grommets keep the forks aligned. I was wondering why I had so much movement in my peddle before I received any response for the engine.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again,

1985 300D starter problem?

My 1985 300D starter seems to momentarily stay engaged on the first start of the day. Very short grinding noise after the key is released as if the gears are not disengaging on the starter. Rest of the day seems to be fine,only hear this noise if car has sat several hours or overnight. Looked thru questions on this forum and could not find anything similar. Vacuum related? I just started the self-mechanic routine, so thanks for any input.
