G wagon W460 1980 diesel
I recently purchased a 1980 G wagon with a 5-cyl. turbo diesel engine. But this car is missing the oil pressure gauge; it is apparently a conversion from gas to diesel engine, not done very professionally.
I purchased the car with a broken engine and installed a new one already, but want to add an oil-pressure gauge.
Any suggestion where to find one that might fit?

1985 300TD Ignition Switch Replacement Error?
I recently had my shop replace the ignition switch. Now the heater does not go off after the key is removed. I can't recall if this was the how it worked before, but it doesn't seem right. Before I return to the shop, I'd like to confirm this. Also, what can they possibly have done to make this happen? My understanding is that the wiring just plugs into the back of the switch. There doesn't seem much room for error.

1982 300sd cv boots
Are the Astoria Flexx cv boots useable in Mercedes ?
They claim that the rubber ( silicone ) is better than OEM.
Does anyone have experience with these?
Thanks

85 300dt KEYED 12volt?
Hi,
I'm installing the glow plug override kit on my 85 300dt. Wondering a good source of keyed power for the switch is? I'm almost thinking it'd just be easier to use a direct battery lead to avoid hacking away my harnesses, but if you know of an easy one I'd sure use it!
Thanks

1987 300E Will Not Run
About 2 months ago my wife took the car to exercise class and when she came out to come home and started the car it backfired and would not re-start. I checked it out the following day and though it didn't backfire it would not run for more than 1/2 a second. I had the vehicle towed to my house and have periodically tried to start it with the same result. It will fire, run for about 1/2 a second than shut off. It will continue to do that until I depress the accelerator pedal then it won't start at all.

1985 300TD - Mysterious Intermittent Starting Problem
9 times out of 10 my car starts immediately no problem. 1 time out of 10 there is a click and then nothing. After several attempts I can get the car started and then everything is OK for a couple more days...
Here's the mystery. I had my shop check the solenoid (OK) and replace the ignition switch using the kit sold on this site. Everything was fine for a couple of days, then the same problem occurred. We can almost live with the problem but I'm concerned that one day we won't be able to start it at all.

Replaced turn signal stalk for my 1982 300sd I got from you. I now have no horn. I cannot figure out were the two brass rings make ground contact. Have I a missing contact plate or not connected the harnass properly?
