92 300CE Numerous electrical problems
My 92 300CE has several electrical issues that I think are related. First my left tailight and park lights stopped working. After several months my headlights and flashers started to blink everytime I open my door, at times will driving and when I turn the car off. It seems that the alarm system is envolved because after approx. 105 seconds after getting out and locking the door the blinking stops. And also now my sunroof tilts open without me doing it sometime during that period. Are there any suggetions on the cause or causes and corrective action I can take.

1978 300D AC belts missing
Test drove the subject vehicle today. Looking into the engine compartment, noticed the AC belt or belts were missing. Owner says, previous owner removed them during the winter and never replaced them.
In my quest to own an 300D, just about every 300D/240D I have checked into - the AC is inoperative. Why is this just about always the case? Why are the belts missing... Is this an expensive repair or just a recharge?
Thanks again.

Finding a Use for Old Diesel Engine Parts
1984 330D New Monarks
Hi all at Mercedessource and forum. I put the Monark injectors in "Old Yella today. The instructions were great as usual and every thing went smooth. I had one minor disappointment and one question and would like a little advice on both. First the disappointment: You know how you get a little diesel fuel around the pre-chamber and the wells that the injectors sit in as you expell the air from the hard lines with the nuts cracked a 1/4 to a 1/2 turn? Okay, well I did everything to a tee. I torqued all the injectors at 59 ft/lbs.

creamy WVO vs clear
I'm in my 3rd year of running WVO via Kent's single tank system. My WVO source has been clear WVO. I recently located a 2nd source that uses creamy oil vs the clear. I picked up the first batch two weeks ago and even after settling over 1/2 of the cube remains opaque and clogs my bag filters.
Would appreciate some feedback from others using creamy WVO

oil filter for 1976 300D
I ordered oil filters for my 76 300D W115 and got a Mahle OX 1 D filter. Is this the correct one? The one I removed is a mm or 2 taller. It looks like it will work. The Mahle web site does not list my car. Also what is the big copper crush washer for its about 1 1/8" in DIA? It was not in my filter I took off. I am new to MB Diesels Thanks, Chuck
