1982 240D Low oil pressure repair @ home?
So my 240 has low oil pressure at hot idle. Kent's "Diesel Performance Tuning and Repair" says that this is caused by either worn oil pump gears or crank bearings.
I am currently unemployed so I'd like to try to fix this without a mechanic, but I love my car and I don't want to risk f*cking something up royally and ruining it. Would this be the kind of thing I would be able to do myself? I can already do basic stuff like changing oil and I've installed the glow plug relay manual override so I have some pretty basic experience.

1980 300SD Cylinder misfiring while idling
The more I drive this old mercedes the better I like it. Recently I had new motor mounts installed and asked the mechanic that did the work about the engine still rocking and rolling in the engine compartment. He said that one of the cylinders was missing a hit while idling. When it's rev'd just a little it does just fine and on the freeways/hiways it just absolutely purrs. Could it be a glow plug or compression? Any hints would be appreciated.

1991 Mercedes 300D Turbo Diesel - HELP!
Please help me. I have a 1991 MB 300D 2.5L Turbo Diesel. When I attempt to start the car, it has trouble staying in idle. I have to pump the gas pedal 4-5 times in oder to get the engine to run and have the gas pedal down at least half way to keep the engine running. As the engine runs, there is a cloud of white smoke coming from the exhaust. There is no blow-by, however when I uncap the radiator cap, a froth of bubbles rise after 5 minutes or so of running.

1984 200SD switchover valve adjustment knob
The switchover valve leading to my ALDA has a knob on top that can be turned clockwise or counter-clockwise. Is there some adjustment to be made here? (in addition to keeping the banjo bolt and line clear)

1984 300 SD - How to determine Fuse activation
How do you determine which fuses are activated when the key is in the accessory position and which are activated when the key is in the run position? My owners manual and technical data manual don't address it.

1984 300sd horn circut has no power?
Hi, I have recently aquired a 1984 300sd with a horn circut problem. I have replaced the #14 fuse, checked the wiring and contacts, and replaced the actual horns. The wiring is all in great shape, including the ground wires. There is simply no power to any of the accessories on the #14 fuse. Is there a relay for this horn? I can not find one listed for this model. I am ready to just run a secondary horn circut and switch for the time being so that the car will pass inspection, but I deeply desire to restore the original horn function. Any ideas or help will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

84 300d hard/won't start warm
I just got the car. its a 1984 300d
The engine sounds and drives very good; smooth and quiet, scored really great on emissions, %3 opacity.
The problem: when warm, if I shut it off for more than a few seconds it won't start, like it's not getting air; egr maybe?
If I wait for about 15 minutes, It will then fire just fine with a bump of the key.
I figured out, through necessity, that I could repeatadly bump the key to get a start after 5 or 10 bumps, but had very little power with that method, (lack of turbo?).
this sound familiar to anyone?
thanks

1984 300SD - Fuel Filter Specs
What micron level do the fuel filters, pre and main, filter to?
I'm going to start burning WVO soon and I want to have a filter bag that matches or exceeds my fuel filters so I can minimize my chance of filter clogging.
