1984 300D turbo cabin heat inconsistent

Hi all and thanks to Mercedessource for all the help getting "Old Yella" back to nearly original shape. My question concerns the heat in my old girl. I replaced the monovalve some time ago and it had the typical tear in the rubber portion of the valve. The replacement gave me heat, though intermitently. Now the heat will roast you but if I am on the road a while it will subside and eventually I will feel cool air coming out of the vents. Then the heat will come back and the cycle starts over again. Roast then cool.

Blower Motor 1985 300SD Turbo Diesel

n/a
Can anyone out there direct me to the location of any relays or inline fuses that might be the cause of my blower motor not working. I know the blower motor works having run 12 volts directly to it. Additionally, I have no power when checking the motor leads with a volt meter when everything is hooked up. I originally thought the problem was in the block or coil resister beneath the master cylinder/vacuum booster. Changed out both resisters and still no power to the motor. The fuse looks good (number 11, I think in the fuse box compartment.)

1974 240D 115 - Door weather-stripping

I have purchased new weather-stripping from my Mercedes dealer for my 1974 240D 115. I removed the old weather-stripping on the front passenger door and tried to install. After carefully pushing the new weather-stripping in the door channels. The weather-stripping didn’t quite fit. About 3” to long. Is there any way to “shrink” the weather-stripping before the install? Or should I just return and order another. Any tips would be helpful.

Thanks,
Eric

"81 300 SD (129) Please, Where is the Blower Sampler Motor?

For years now we have had a terrible fan noise when the heater is engaged, and it's NOT the main blower motor. Finally, I found out about the Sampler Blower Motor, or Blower Sampler motor, part # 0 130 002 802. This component is not listed on the fuse panel, but feeds off of fuse #1. I've got to get to this motor, at least to unplug it, if not replace. Does ANYONE know where it is, or how to get there?
For those of you chasing a mysterious fan noise--yes, there is more than one fan in the car. And No, not everything is listed on the fuse box cover.

85 300SD water leak left rear floor

When it rains or snow collects on the car, my 85 300SD collects a BIG amount of water in the area behind the driver's seat on the floor. The passenger side (side of the battery tray) is completely dry. The sun roof seals are dry and need replacing. Could that be where the leak is coming from? I read there are drainage holes around the sunroof and they get plugged...? The car is 80% restored after sitting outside for about 13 years. The engine is a factory replacement, but after purchasing it from a wrecked condition, there were no written records of maintainence.
