W115, Body
115 front seat belt issue.
Hi all I'm in a bit of a fix with the local car authorities. I currently have 2-point seatbelts in my W115 (one near the shoulder, the other in the middle of the bench seat). They are saying that I can fix a 3-point seat belt in my W115 and consequently refused to let me renew my license until I change it. My mechanic though is saying there is no where to bolt the third point (somewhere under the shoulder). Can anyone confirm which of the two is right? Mark

SPEEDOMETER/ODOMETER FAILURE ON 76 300D
THE ODOMETER AND SPEEDOMETER RECENTLY QUIT WORKING ON MY BENZ. RIGHT BEFORE IT COMPLETELY QUIT, I NOTICED THE NEEDLE FOR THE SPEEDOMETER BOUNCED AROUND ALot, then...nothing. some of the lights, such as glow plug, brake sensor and battery lights still work, but the regular illuminary dash lights do not. I replaced the bulbs, but still no light. Also the old becker radio did not work and i pulled it out, but can't seem to figure out what config. to hook up a cd player. could the radio issue be related to the failures on the instrument cluster?

starting problem
I have a 76 300D that I am having a strange problem with. Usually the car will start without any problem two or three times, and then it will appear that the battery is too weak to even make the car turn over, although the headlights and other electronics still seem to be at full power. I have had the alternater tested and it seems to be working fine. I took the battery back to Wal-Mart and their machine (as well as AutoZones) found the battery to be good.

1975 230 parts help
I bought a decent, very original 230 sedan a couple weeks ago. Overall the car is in pretty good cosmetic condition but the engine needs help. The compression is below the minimum at around 100 to 115 pounds. It does run but it's pretty weak.
I've searched online but haven't been able to locate a source for parts to rebuild the lower half. Pistons, rings, bearings seem to be a rare commodity for this engine.
Is there a source I've missed or are the parts just difficult to come by?

76 240d need to shut off under hood.
I recently purchased a 1976 240D and it does not shut off. I have read about the vacuum for the 77 and on with the 123 bodys. but is this different for the 74-76 115 240d's?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Unknown fuses? Any ideas?
I've got a couple of fuse blocks on my driver side engine bay and I have no idea what they go to. The car is a 1975 240D. Does anybody have any ideas?
