removing undercoating/rust 1979 300D
I was wondering what the best way to remove stock undercoating is for the at home mechanic?
Also, I seem to have a pretty large rust problem. I have Miracle Paint and would like to attack it from top and bottom but it seems like one of the screws holding down my passenger seat is rusted to the body. How do I get it out? Of course it's the right rear screw, the hardest to reach to begin with.

transmission kickdown switch adjustment?
I have a 1983 300d. The accelerator pedal is not engaging my transmission kickdown switch on the floorboard. It makes contact with the switch but does not mash it down enough to engage the switch. Does anyone know the best way to adjust the throttle linkage to take out the free travel in my pedal and adjust it so that it completely engages the kickdown switch? Thanks for the help!

Removing heater blower unit from a 190E sedan
I am interested in finding out info on how hard it is to remove an replace the heater blower unit from my 1988ish 190E sedan. I am pretty handy with the tools but want to know how much of a specialistjob it is and if it requires any special tools.
I have already replaced the switching unit and that temporarily fixed the problem. The unit then just packed up and it's getting pretty cold at the moment without it, not to mention a little dangerous having to demist the windscreen manually.
Any info or hints would be greatly appreciated.
cheers

Failure mode for blower motor 300cd
My cars blower was erratic (sometimes it would operate on high, sometimes it would operate on only medium, sometimes it would barely blow) and I thought that either my switch was malfunctioning or the fan motor was going out. It seemed that it might be the motor since even the defrost manual high speed setting was unpredictable. As of yesterday it has stopped all together. Is this the normal failure mode for fan motor or switch?
