83 300SD trans slipping/flairing when cold
I replaced the modulator and adjusted the pressure to factory spec about 3 months ago when I first got the car. Also at the same time I replaced most of the vac hoses and connections under the hood. The trans seemed to shift pretty good for its age, with a very small 3-4 flair.
One night after getting off the interstate 3rd gear just didn't engage. After trying to limp home for a couple minutes, I got angry I just gave it gas and all of a sudden it shifted and worked. The next day I changed the trans fluid/filter and added some Lucas. Now first thing in the morning it slips VERY bad going into 3rd and has a VERY noticeable 3-4 flair. If you floor it all gears engage solid, but it seems like it doesn't want to downshift and it seems to be shifting early too.

Hi, all.
I put a new battery in my car about a month ago, and am already having issues. How do I know if the problem likes in the battery, the alternator, or the voltage regulator?
Thanks!

1984 300TD crank/no start
I just bought this car. Auto trans. Sat for 6 months. 150k miles. Just replaced battery and fuel filters. I read other posts. Glow plugs read starting from front(#1 10.7v,#2 10.8v, #3 10.9v, #410.9v, #5 11v). Loosened one injector line and fuel was coming from it.
Seems that I have fuel and power to glow plugs. Its 70 degrees out.
What is next? Comrpression test? Should I buy Physical Exam kit and then adjust valves and do a comrpession test?
Any guesses as to what problem is?

1987 300td electric tilting sunroof repair
1987 300td electric tilting sunroof seems like something broken on one side of track and won't close from the tilted up position. Motor seems to be running ok. I saw the manual for the earlier non tilting models would that be helpful, or are they completely different? Thanks.
