W107 500SL Phantom Low Oil Warning
My 88 500SL has recently started giving a Low Oil Level warning, usually after 20 minutes of motorway driving, but when checking the oil level, it's perfect!
The oil and filter are less than 500 miles old, so my question is could there be a blockage in the oilways somewhere causing the sump to run dry. Has anybody else had this problem?
Many thanks.

w123 rear suspension CRACK? EEK!!!
I had my 1983 300D Turbodiesel on car ramps today, to drain the fuel tank and replace some hoses, and much to my horror, noticed that a rear suspension component, whose name I'm not certain of, has a crack.
How can this have possibly happened??? What's the proper fix? How would I go about it, and what would I need, etc.
The car has about 200,000 miles on it and wasn't in an accident ever. I'm shocked and quite worried that this is a "big project..."
Here's some pix... ANY advice would be most appreciated. Doesn't seem like a common problem at all...

Cruise control erratic
I have a 90 300d.
My cruise control is being very erratic. I will click set, and then it accelerates probably at least 5 mph faster than i set it and then it shuts it off and then back on, and then back off and on etc. Has any body had this happened? I am lost at where to start.
I have a alldata manual on it but its not much help. Is there some sort of adjustment with it?
Thanks

Power Steering Failure
I have a 1982 240d. The power steering does not work until the car gets warmed up. Is the problem the pump or??? Any help would be great.

300D fuel starvation
I'm having a fuel starvation problem on my '78 300D; it just isn't getting enough fuel when I push the accelerator pedal to the floor. I've been running it on WVO for the past 2 years. It has gotten progressively worse on power, and now it takes forever to get up to speed on flat ground and barely goes uphill at all.
So far, I've replaced 3 injectors that were bad, had the valves adjusted, replaced the in tank fuel filter and cleaned the line from tank to front. I've also changed out the hand primer which was leaking air, but that didn't help either.

honest diesel mechanic wanted Seattle
Hello,
I am new to this forum, I have a 1993 MB diesel 350 straight six in my truck and would like contact information for a good mechanic here in the Seattle area.
I want a mechanic that does not create problems, is very knowledgeable to all mercedes diesels, and does not mind working with and trouble shooting vehicles with SVO conversions. Evidently my truck is semi rare here in the states so said mechanic must be comfortable working on new things. My truck is a mid 90's G-wagen. Your referrences are appreciated.

Windshield wipers wipe uncontrollably....driving me crazy!
I bought a 1984 190D 2.2 last week. The windshield wipers operate without me touching the switch. Seems to be completely random. What could it be? Anyone seen this problem before? Thanks a lot from this new Mercedes driver.

84 300SD Battery Drain
Anyone know how to diagnose a battery drain in a 126- 1984 300SD? I just bought this car a few months back with a new battery. I guess I know why the guy who sold it to me put a new battery in right before he sold it......
The car starts when jumped. The battery is 3 months new. I tested it with a multimeter. After sitting for the night the battery is around 10. After its jumped the battery reads 13.5. The alternator is fine as far as I can tell. Never died on me while I was driving and the battery charges while the car is running.
