80 300td dash noise
Screaming sound coming from the dash which appears to be related to speedometer cable. Any suggestions on if it is worth trying to grease cable or replace? Is there a way to disconnect to stop noise?

240d manual transmission
I just blew up the manual transmission in my 1982 240d (what a terrible noise and vibration). I found a 1979 that might work and I'm just wondering if it would be compatible.

240D Standard Transmission Shifting Problem
Have a nice 1982 240D four-speed, standard sransmission (floor shifter) with about 140K miles on it. Recently experienced big problem with shifting from one gear to another. Thought it was a bad shifter and secured a replacement assembly unit which has been installed this past week. Have replaced all external bushings (except for white plastic bushing inside actual shifter unit)and everything appears to be tight...not loose. Can replace internal shifter box bushing but I don't think this is the problem.

300D dash lights fail after radio install
My old Becker radio in the 300d gave up, so I replaced it with something new. Everything seems fine except now it seems I have lost dash lights? Any advice would be appreciated.
Was having hard starts in the cold last week, the glow plug light went out. Ordered the clean=out tool and 5 new glow plugs. Job went smoothly with your instructions. Starts great again, Thanks!

617 Turbo diesel Low Power at low RPM
I have a 1982 W123 with about 240,000 miles. It runs great at normal highway speeds.
The problem(s) are first at low RPM it takes a lot to get the car going, it can be floored and barely start to move. The other day my wife parked on a hill and when leaving it took a long time for her to move. (transmission is good, just replaced) Power is excellent when rev's are up, it will actually chirp the tires when shifting gears.

Fixing Leaks (oil and coolant)1981 300cd
My 1981 300CD has some leaking issues. I have traced the coolant leak to the fact that the radiator has bulged along the upper edge and is leaking fluid under pressure from the joint between the tank and radiator.
Are these repairable? What else uses the same radiator or one close enough that I can cross reference to try to find a good used or inexpensive new rad?
