79W123 300D clock question
The clock on my 79 300D recently stopped working when the engine is shut off; works fine when engine running. Where do I look? How do I fix it?
Thanks

Missing Vac Switch in ALDA line.
I have a 1979 W116 300SD, chassis has 334k miles and rebuilt engine around 100k. When I purchased the car, the vac switch that attaches to the firewall that helps control the ALDA valve is missing. I have read various articles describing the pro and cons. I am afraid to 'step' on it in fear of what may happen. Should I replace the switch? Or what would you do?

1985 w126 300sd cental locking system failure to lock
I have posted this question on a few other Mercedes Forums with no assistance. So...I have paid the 30 bucks for hopefully some light to be shed.
I have a strange problem with my central locks.
The problem I am having is that locking any controlling (driver passenger trunk)lock will cause all locks to unlock but it is impossible to lock the doors. I obviously have no leaks.
What I have so far.
I have run the pump on the bench and if I ground any of the 3 pins the pump pulls untill the vac switch makes. Then if I apply 12v to a pin the pump pushes until the press switch makes. This seems to make sense. Keep in mind I did not test the pump with a constant 12v on any pins and I will try that later today.
I also tested the wiring in the car and all is correct.

Nice video on 123 outside door handle removal!! How do you remove 125 o/s door handles? I assume you remove the door panel and go at it from the inside?

1985 300D weird vibration
I started noticing that under heavier right turns, I'm getting a slight but definitely noticeable vibration. I have not checked the PS fluid yet but I'm guessing it could be a wheel bearing. Is this accurate?

Passenger side front window motor
1984 123 300dt. Need to replace the passenger side front window motor. Circuit and switches test OK. Is there an alternative year or model that will fit? Close-by wrecking yards have 123's and 126's, and other Mercedes models.
