What's the firewall throttle bushing called, where do I get one?
My '81 300TD TurboDiesel wagon has some kind of throttle bushing (rubbery filled metalic thing that screws onto the firewall and holds the throttle linkage from firewall to the "stop engine" lever on valve cover) on the firewall that seems to be deteriorating and the acelerator is becoming very mushy. I'm sure I'm only getting about 1/3 of the actual throttle so I'd like to replace this. I don't know what to call it, let alone where to get it. If anyone has any knowledge as to what this is called, I'd appreciate it. Thanks so much!

Suspension creeky-clunking - Track Rod Mount?
Got a 240D '83. Great shape overall - but all (replace-over-repair) mechanics say I need all new suspension parts. I have replaced shocks with new bilsteins. Overall she rides fine thru bumps and dips, better than newer cars of non-German manufacture.
Problem: Deep dips yield a creeky-klunk that sounds like it is coming directly from the passenger foot area - just where the track rod mount is anchored on the opposite side. Get this: barely noticable in the summer, it sounds really bad in the colder (non-freezing) weather...does this indicate anything clearly wrong?

Hazard Button Buzzing Sound
I have a '79 240D with the 123 chassie. Last night the hazard button located on the center console started "buzzing". If pressed part way down, the buzzing stopped. When you let off the pressure the buzzing resumes. Is this a warning feature on this car? I'm concerned that something else may be wrong.

hard start, air in lines?
Hello, I have a 1985 Mercedes 300tdt which I have converted with an Elsbett system for wvo. It has been great for 2 years. I now have a starting problem, which might be totally unrelated, I think it is an air leak in the fuel lines. It takes two to start the car, one to turn the key and pound the petal and another to prime the pump. In colder weather it is more difficult. i suspect a gasket or seal, i just am wondering how to isolate the problem. Is this a common diesel thing or unique to veggie conversions?

poorly running 240D
The guy who posted this video on youtube.com has been trying to fix this car for several weeks. He bought the car recently, could not get it started, so he pulled the head off, found a cracked piston, replaced it along with all piston rings on all other pistons. He claims that the compression is up to 300-350 psi in all cylinders now. The engine runs terrible. The ALDA is turned all the way out. he lives in area with 7500 ft altitude above sea level. It looks like his injection timing or valve timing is way off(timing chain was not replaced, valve adjustment was done.
