Is it possible and/or practical to swap my passenger seat with my drivers seat? I have a very good passenger seat and a poor drivers seat.

88 260e - rough idle on cold start
103 engine. Rough idle at cold start up. Smooths out after 30-45 seconds.
When starting warm, starts right away and stalls immediately – re starts right away OK and stays running. Recently hesitates when cold. Been unusually cold her in FL lately. Any thoughts??

82 300d Monark fuel primer confusion
Hi,
I am again successfully confused by the website, so need to be unconfused once more:
On your website under the item "Heavy Duty Monark Ultimate Hand Primer Pump" I have read the following sentence: <...works great with SVO WVO fuels> therefore I bought the pump.
Then once I received it, the instruction booklet that came with it said: <...Its only disadvantage, it will not work well with bio-diesel and it may not work at all with waste vegetable oil SVO/WVO...>> but the problem, that is what I want to use with eventually.

Oil cooler options - 1971 220D
Hello
It's been nearly a year since I sold my last Mercedes (1981 240D - my fourth diesel Benz since 1996) to pay for my honeymoon.
Anywho, it's project time again, and I'm picking up a 1971 220D this weekend that will need a LOT of love. It's a southern car that has been up here in the northeast for about ten years (only driven here the first five). It's got rust (looks fixable to me so far) and is definitely a long term project, but I couldn't pass up a running 4-speed manual W115 diesel at the price.

I have new injector nozzels balanced clean hard lines new filters (pre-filter is the aluminum filter I got here) diesel purged. the only thing I did was install a trans vac.

1986 420 SEL rear tranny seal replacement
n/a
Can someone give me some info on what a reasonable cost would be to replace the leaking rear seal on the transmission of this car. I understand that the tranny must be removed so it is not something I can tackle myself. Plus, there are specialized tools etc. required to do the job correctly.

"81 300 SD (129) Please, Where is the Blower Sampler Motor?
For years now we have had a terrible fan noise when the heater is engaged, and it's NOT the main blower motor. Finally, I found out about the Sampler Blower Motor, or Blower Sampler motor, part # 0 130 002 802. This component is not listed on the fuse panel, but feeds off of fuse #1. I've got to get to this motor, at least to unplug it, if not replace. Does ANYONE know where it is, or how to get there?
For those of you chasing a mysterious fan noise--yes, there is more than one fan in the car. And No, not everything is listed on the fuse box cover.
