W110 W111 W112 Sedan, BENZ AID - COMMON QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

After installing new motor mounts, transmission vibrating on cross piece

I installed all three new motor mounts on my 1979 300SD W116, the engine did not line up very well while putting in new front mounts, prying the engine was necessary. The rear mount was a snap, however, I had to pry the bell housing from the cross member to get it to avoid vibration while underway, going in reverse up hill was very loud. The engine/transmission is settling back on the cross member. Any ideas?

The chassis has about 340k miles on it and the engine was rebuilt about 85k miles ago by the previous owner. I can say that the rubber under the car is warn.

hotwiring necessary 1986 W123 turbodiesel

Hei!

I bought a parts car without any keys. Nice late turbo diesel with 200K miles that was stalled a year ago due to electrical problems.

The ignition lock is drilled out by me to be able to steer. I have been trying to hotwire the car to check the engine before putting it in my nicer 1984 NA 300D wagon.
So far it only growls one time(nicely though without hestitation) after glowing and starting. Then it only chuckles without firing.
I have been bleeding the diesel lines x times, maybe without luck.

What am I overlooking?
-Anything with the vacuum lines in the ignition lock? (I connected the two together)
-Or maybe more wires must be connected? (I took one of the two hot red ones, then the red w black stripe, then the purple starter wire)

1971, 280SE 3.5 Coupe, Interior Wood Trim Removal

How to remove the interior wood trim under the windshield (on the dash)?
1. Is it clipped? How do the clips look like?
2. Do I destroy them during removal and need new ones?
3. Are special tools needed? I have a set of plastic tools, which I used for removing the aluminum trim outside.
4. Is the method the same for all MB's between 1962 - 1972, which had these trims (108,109,110,111,112)?
Thanks

617 Turbo Diesel Injector Part Numbers/Interchangability

I have 5 each of these injectors:

KCA30S46

KCA30S35/4

KCA30SD27/4 (this one had a plastic cover with the number NA32X on it)

Are they interchangeable?

Will the same nozzles work in all?

The cars in question are a 82 300TD Turbo and a 84 300D Turbo. I want to rebuild the injectors and want to make sure these housings can work with the nozzles for the cars. Thank you
