ceramic brake pads ok on 85 300TD?
I was told by a mechanic that ceramic brake pads would not stop or wear as well on my 85 300TD. Is this true? Why?

78 300SD Turbo Connector Hose
Is there a particular type of hose that must be used for the Turbo Connector Hose?
My turbo had a braided hose, similar to that of the fuel line return hoses but larger, that was leaking pretty badly at both ends. I removed it and took it into my local parts store and the guy at the counter said that I needed that particular style hose. He cut me a length of 3/8" fuel hose to hold me over until I could get my hands on some.

79 300D W123- Neutral safety switch
I've replaced the glow plugs, strap fuse, glow plug relay and the ignition switch on my 79 300D. Intermittently, she doesn't start in PARK ( glow plug indicator light goes on , but doesn't start when the key is turned)-- If I shift to NEUTRAL, she starts fine. I pay attention to the warnings this" Panzerwagen" gives me , so I'm thinking that there's some glitch in the neutral safety switch.
Am I on the right track? Please excuse potentially incorrect terminology- I'm no expert, which id why I subscribe to this helpful forum.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Will 420SEL Tach work in 1983 300SD
Will the tach from a 420SEL work in a 1983 SD? Because I have the rear axle of a 420 in my 83 300SD I am using the speedometer from the 420 for accurate reading already. The original tach and clock are not working I know that the plug in is different, but are there any other issues to consider?

1984 300D AC/Heater Fan
Hi have a question about an 1984 300D. HVAC fan comes on when your first turn the key to run, then after starting the car it shuts off and wont come on again ever. If you click the key back just a little it comes on. What do you think?
