78 300SD Turbo Connector Hose

Is there a particular type of hose that must be used for the Turbo Connector Hose?

My turbo had a braided hose, similar to that of the fuel line return hoses but larger, that was leaking pretty badly at both ends. I removed it and took it into my local parts store and the guy at the counter said that I needed that particular style hose. He cut me a length of 3/8" fuel hose to hold me over until I could get my hands on some.

79 300D W123- Neutral safety switch

I've replaced the glow plugs, strap fuse, glow plug relay and the ignition switch on my 79 300D. Intermittently, she doesn't start in PARK ( glow plug indicator light goes on , but doesn't start when the key is turned)-- If I shift to NEUTRAL, she starts fine. I pay attention to the warnings this" Panzerwagen" gives me , so I'm thinking that there's some glitch in the neutral safety switch.
Am I on the right track? Please excuse potentially incorrect terminology- I'm no expert, which id why I subscribe to this helpful forum.
Thanks in advance for your help.
