Water Leakage
There is water leaking into the drivers and passengers side of my 1982 240d. The water drips down from under the dash on both sides, but there is no rust hole or clogged drains. What else could be causing this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Electric coolant heater hose replacement
Kent,
Got the replacement hose from you and had it installed (it's tax season and well no time for this CPA this time of the year to get my hands dirty, except deal with the IRS!)

84 190d instrument guage
I have an 84 190d that the temp., fuel and oil pressure guage in the instrument cluster is not working. The oil pressure does work. A new one from Germany is $785. I have access to an 85 190d instrument cluster. Does anyone know if the guages are interchangeable? Thanks for your help.

When to replace Accumulator Cells on 1987 300TDT?
I have had a 1987 300TDT diesel wagon (w124) for one year. It has 185,000 miles. I don't know whether replacing the Accumulator Cells would improve the quality of the ride, since I don't know what it should feel like. The rear end doesn't sag, and the self-leveling system works. Do the Accumulator Cells degrade the quality of the ride gradually, over time, or do they just break and you know it immediately, due to a bouncy ride? thanks

Locked Door Fix
I unscrewed the door lock button from a rear door and heard this terrible noise... the clinking of something falling down into the door. Now it seems obvious that the threaded rod that initiates the lock/unlock mechanism has fallen into the door. The problem is the door is locked and I am unsure as to how to get the door panel off to fix this. Can the lock be picked by a rookie or am I going to have to get a locksmith to open it? Why would it fall into the door unless it is not attached? Any ideas would be appreciated.

Seat not moving & window motor whirring
Just started digging into my brand new 1984 300SD to fix a few essential items; I was told the driver's side seat worked, just needed a new switch. So I ordered a new (used) seat switch and hooked it up and still no action. Any advice on where to go next? Also was attempting to fix my driver's side window... which is turning out to be quite a challenge. The motor works, however, the big drive gear just spins on there.
