1976 300D turn signal issue
Two weeks ago my left turn signal started to act up. Sometimes the blinking rate increases, or the headlights/dash lights flicker in time with the signal, and sometimes the Fasten Seatbelts light flashes. Am I correct in thinking the turn signal relay needs to be replaced?
Thanks!

Euro 230ce maintenance parts and repair
Hello everyone! My first post and I want say that, I am enthused and on my way to Mercedes ownership, with some help.
I've been looking at purchasing a 1985 230ce with 101K (asking $5K) on the meter for about 6 months. I think they have the coolest classic look. It's not in the best shape but she runs strong and steady.
Would someone give me an opinion(s) on wheather or not this vehicle is known to be reliable and can I DIY the maintenance and repairs. Parts!!! The 230ce never pops up on any the domestic online car parts sites.

1982 300D Turbo- Cruise Control Issues
Hi Kent,
My cruise control has some issues. I can move the arm in the "set" position, and it will accelerate, but won't set the cruise control. In other words, when I push the arm, the gas pedal goes down and the car speeds up rapidly, but won't stay at any set speed. Easy fix? Complicated fix? Expensive fix?
Hope you had a wonderful Christmas and I wish you a Happy New Year!
Justin and I will be in Bellingham Jan 14-17 and will swing in to say Hello.

1974 240D Dash Removal
Need to remove my dash. So far, I have removed the center consoles, several screws on the bottom of the dash, and the instrument cluster. I'm having issues removing the pillar covers and I can't locate any other screws that need to be removed. Any advice or do you know which 115 maunal would cover this process?

Excessive Oil Consumption 1981 300D
This is my third Merecedes, the first 2 had 200K+ at time of purchase and i ran the cars until the body was literally falling off on one and the suspension fell apart on the other. Both still had sound engines but everything else was worn out. My latest purchase has 162K miles, everything appears clean inside and out, body good shape, feels solid going down the road, etc. One problem : uses a quart of oil every 200 miles when going at interstate speeds. Considering the others engines had so many miles and still ran well i have a hard time giving up on this one.

Strip fuse on a 92 300D?
Hi everyone- can someone tell me if my 1992 300D has a strip fuse on it for the glow plug system, and where it might be? Also, are there any other strip fuses on the car, that aren't for the glow plugs?
I used to replace them on earlier Benz's that I had, but I can't find any on this 124.
Thanks!

1984 300D Diesel Purge
Hi all at Mersedessource and Happy Holidays to you. I just received the diesel purge you sent me just in time for Christmas and I am dying to try it. I only have one question. Kent's instructions are very explicit but being retired from the training and education field people sometimes interpret differently no matter how precise the instructions. That said, my question is this. It appears that I will be feeding and returning the cleaner from the same bottle.
