116 300SD Broken Oil Filter Housing Stud
One of the oil filter housing studs broke when trying to remove the nut to change the filter. Can this bolt be replaced or, must the entire oil filter housing be replaced? In either event, how do I do this?

'82 240D - front quarter panel trim piece?
I just lost the trim piece (the chrome and rubber strip) from my front passenger side quarter panel on my 1982 240D - it was starting to pop out of its snap attachments and it must have just flown off on the road somewhere. Does anyone know where you can buy replacement pieces of this type? I tried our nearest Pick 'n Pull junkyard but they didn't have any 123 body types.
thanks.

240d aluminum, steel look, rims, what are they worth ??
.
Hello everyone.
I just purchased a 1983 240d and noticed it has the aluminum rims
instead of the usual steel rims.
How rare are these aluminum rims ?
Are they worth a lot more than the steel ones ?
Thank You

1980 300TD engine RPM valeus for 65 mph?
My 1980 wagon seems to rev higher than expected at 65mph. I installed a piezo-tach to get a look at engine RPM's. At 65 it runs about 3200 rpm, consistantly. If I count gear changes, I notice 3 shifts (when in Drive - I understand that in D the car starts off in 2nd). If I manually shift from 1st to Drive I count 4 shifts.
Tranny is properly filled, no abnormal noises either. I replaced both the CV shafts and while I was in the rear end nothing looked odd (had 2 split boots, that's why the change was needed).

Hey folks, first time posting, newbie mechanic, just bought a pair of these 1981 300sd turbo diesels, one a (previously) running parts car, the other hopefully a runner, my first cars in 4+ years, my first mercedes, and my first diesels. So, here's my problem.

'82 300 TD Wagon Leveling System Question
Okay, I was wondering if any of you guys could help me. I have noticed that my rear end on my wagon looks fine after I have finished driving. However, after some time goes by when I come back the drivers side has dropped down a couple inches. Also, when I drive, sometimes I hear what must be the leveling pump making some noises that sound kind of like Darth Vader breathing or something. I don't know if this means that I have a leak on the system or what. Does anybody out there know what I need to check/fix?

1980 300SD Cruise Control
I can accelerate with the cruise control stalk but, it doesn't "set" (stay on?). Any troubleshooting guide available anywhere? Also, is there a cruise control "on" indicator light?
