1983 300SD brake light-cruise control interface

The plate that holds the tail light bulb sockets has one empty hole which lines up with a red lens cover on the tail light lens. I want to add a brake light socket and bulb in that opening to increase brake visability, which is not the brightest on the older MB. But, I read somewhere that if you do not use the proper brakelight bulbs, it will mess up the cruise control, and if I add two bulbs, will it mess it up.

80 300SD hard start with warm engine

I have been having intermittent hard starting with the engine warmed up. The problem only happens after the engine has warmed up to 80-90 C. The car has new glow plugs decent compression (300+ average)and starts right away when it's cold (below freezing).
The car always starts eventually but I have to crank for awhile 10-30 seconds. Same problem when running on diesel or veg and with oil just changed or ready to be changed. I don't think that I'm getting air in the lines and again it's intermittent so sometimes it starts right up when warm?

1984 300D Turbo Water Leak

I have what appears to be the typical water leak which comes in through the front passenger side leading to puddling in the rear passenger side. I have cleared the drain holes under the hood and repaired the rust under the battery using the miracle paint and cloth method, however I still have the leak. It appears to me that I should replace the front windshield seal based on what I have read on this web site. Is there anything that I have overlooked or other areas that I should check to stop this leak?
