Sedan / Wagon Door Seal Instructions and Tools
There are some tricks to getting a replacement seal in properly
123 Sedan Sunroof cable length
I've got a 1983 240D sedan with electric sunroof. I've cleaned/lubed slides and cable. Sunroof goes all the way back without cable attached (by hand) but only 2/3rds back with cable attached. Could someone have put in a wagon cable? Are there different lengths between sedan and wagon cables? The reason I ask is that there's a wagon fuel sender in the tank so maybe PO had an old wagon and used parts for this sedan. Or is there something else stopping the travel?

tachometer for a 240D
I recently replaced the dash instrument assembly in my 1985 300DT and now I have a few spare parts, like the old still functioning tach. What is involved in installing a tach on my 1982 240D. Is it an electrical or a mechanical pickup?

The Miracle of Miracle Paint
Looking for insight before I pull the trigger on a gallon of MP. I'm in the process of having my lifelong Santa Barbara CA 1980 240D repainted and the body guy tells me the bottom of the doors under the seal are rusted pretty bad. Ugh. I specifically bought a CA car to avoid this!

Control Arm Bushing difficulties
I am in the process of replacing the bushings and ball joints on the lower front control arms of my 82 123. While attempting to remove the smaller bushing (connected to the steering rod?) I ran into a wall. Actually, the bolt, which needs to go up, butted in to the spring cup. How do I remove this bolt? Do I need to remove the springs and cup? If so are there any tricks? HELP!

79 300td will not start
I just bought a used 1979 300td Wagon which started up great when I test drove and picked it up. The next morning it would not start but it does crank and lets noticeable smoke out of the tailpipe. The overnight temperature was about 10C, I plugged in the block heater for a few hours before my second attempt and still no luck. The battery has strong charge, the glow light comes on and the glow plugs were just serviced. I know the vales need are in need of an adjustment. Could someone tell me if it is compression related and suggest some trouble shooting and advice??? Thanks.
