1980 300SD, 116.120, 617.950, 101k miles. Rod knock?
From a stop light as engine speed reachs 2000 RPM a taping or knocking can be heard. The sound remains thru 2400 RPM at which time it either quits or I cannot here it for road noise.

5 speed trans for my 1980 240D?
I have a strong running '80 240D(I occasionally drive 85mph when no one is looking!) I have seen a five speed manual transmission for it. Do you know what the ratios are? Who it work well with my differential? My main interest is reducing rpms at highway cruise speed.

Mercedes 240D won' shut off -adjust idle speed?
I recently bought a 1978 240D so I could run biodiesel. I heard all the warnings, so when it started to get slugish I changed both fuel filters. It runs much better now, and has more power, but when I turn off the ignition the engine won't stop running - even after I remove the key. I tried reducing the idle speed with the key-shaped knob on the dash, but that wasn't enough. Does anybody know if there's a way to change the idle speed under the hood, and how to get to it? Adam

'84 300CD Power loss
I've got a Turbo 300 CD Coupe that I've just purchased about 2 weeks ago. It's got about 270,000 miles on it and was running great until a couple of days ago. Now it seems to hesitate a bit (stutter) at speeds arounds 60 mph and if I'm going up any sort of hill it slows down pretty dramatically, like to 35 or 40. Also am noticing a bit more roughness in the idle. Anybody have any ideas of what it might be or how to diagnos this?

Mercedes 124 Anti Theft system
I have a 1990 300E with over 200000 miles on it. When I bought it from the 2nd owner he advised me that the Anti theft alarm had started going off randomly and that he had disconnected the horn but that the headlights would continue to flash.
