1984 300SD sun roof motor
Does anyone know how to remove the sun roof motor from the trunk? The sun roof was working slow so I tried to remove the motor and ended up taking the bottom of the motor apart which dislodged the motor brushes.

Jittery stuttery power window
Hi - I have an 85 300TD wagon and one of the power windows stutters / jitters / shakes when it goes up or down. Is this a sign of impending motor failure? Or is there an adjustment I can make to the window mechanism to smooth it out?
Any advice much appreciated! Thanks!

Diesel won't shut off
My 82 240D won't shut off. It has 221k miles. Before this started the engine shut off immediately after you turned the key. I was just wondering where to look to try to fix it. Thanks

1984 300CD Sticking Throttle
I have a 1984 300cd and the gas pedal (accelerator) does not work any more. I thought that my car was sluggish because it needed a diesel purge (did that). Now the gas pedal does nothing. I tried to manually push the control linkage assembly and it seems to stick or get hung up. I think that I need a vacuum valve levers. Is there any thing else that would "loosen up" this problem? Thank you in advance for your help. Mathieu 1984 300cd turbo 314,000 miles

Shock replacement (Car now sits unevenly)
I have replaced both the front and rear shocks on my 1982 300SD with the bilstein comfort line. Now the front rides considerably higher than the rear. Have I overlooked something simple?

240D charging problem
My Battery drains occassionaly in my 81 240D. I had my alternator tested and it tested OK. The car runs fine otherwise. The only other thing I have noticed is that the Break Pad light and the break warning light comes on and stays on at low RPM. These lights go away when I increase the RPM. Could there be short in the break warning system or is it still the bad alternator and the regulator that is causing the the break light on the dashboard to come on?

shift bushing replacement advice
This is not a question, but rather an additional tip.
I've installed MercedesSource's shift bushing kit on my 1980 300SD, a W116 chassis. The instructions were very good, though I had trouble getting the clips back onto the shifter rod between the two levers. With the shifter rod out of the car and held in my hand, I was amazed at how easy the clips install on each end, but nearly impossible when the shifter rod is inserted into both of its bushings under the car. I thought I'd share how I solved this problem.

Obscure parts needed: wagon rear side window trim clips
Have a 1981 300TD wagon in the body shop and have found most of the trim clips for the chrome trim on the rear side windows have rusted away. They are riveted in under the window rubber- need a complete set for both windows (not sure how many there are). Anybody have a parts wagon with good trim clips? Can email a photo of one for clarification... Thanks!
