I just bought a 79 300d. The front wheels are 'kicked out' at the bottom. I think it has to be a front end issue........but I can't find anything loose. Anyone with experience with this chassis have any ideas of where I should be looking?
hello
I bought a 69 280s (second owner from new)1 year ago.It needs a full restoration so I started a mechanical restoration.The car was in storage for 5 yrs,and had not been started.I replaced all fluids and filters,had the carbs rebuilt,drained and power washed the gastank,replaced all ruber hose and lines,added new bosh platinum plugs,replaced fuel filters,overhauled the mechanical fuel pump,changed the points,ballast resistor,and ignition cables,cleaned and refitted the distributer cap and rotor,after all this the car only starts when gas is poured in the carbs and dies.I have poured fresh gas(87 octane)in the tank and some fuel stabeizer,poured a can of carb cleaner in the two zeniths, Replaced the fuel filters,
Can anyone please talk me through or even better show me pictures of how to install new passenger side window (front) window glass in my 1984 300CD? Thanks!

does anyone know the torque specs for the wheel lugs on the '84 300TD?
Thanks in advance.
I am in the process of having the car painted in another country and would like to inquire if you would recommend the one stage or the two stage process. Because I am buying the paint, how many quarts do you think I will need, using urethane medium reducer, plus activator. The paint being used is called Val-Spar. The 1979 300 SD originally used a one stage process and the vehicle will be striped of all chrome hand sanded as there is no body work to be done and the original paint is just starting to form small check marks due to the aging. Thank You
I just towed my 1984 300 Turbodiesel about 2 miles at 20 mph without the engine running - After I got the engine started again, the car would not shift into 2nd gear. Does it ruin a transmission to tow a model 123 without the engine running? It has been very cold out (7 degrees F) and perhaps something inside the transmission is stuck. Anybody with any ideas on what might be going on with this transmission after being towed for that distance and speed?

A Mechanic wants $1000 to install new axles in my 1985 300CD. This includes parts and labor. Is this reasonable? I have a 1979 or 1980 300CD parts car. Are these the same alxes? How difficult to do do the job myself? Can I use these axles? Are the 123's axles all interchangeable for these years?
Screaming sound coming from the dash which appears to be related to speedometer cable. Any suggestions on if it is worth trying to grease cable or replace? Is there a way to disconnect to stop noise?
I have a 1973 450SE with 100k miles and ever since I bought it (over two years ago) it has had a slight two or so second delay before engaging when I put it into reverse. This morning when I went to back out of my driveway, I was stuck in some snow so I figured I'd rock out of it. However, once it was clear my car was free, it was no longer engaging at all when put in reverse. The reverse lights still come on, the seat belt buzzer still lets me know if my belt is on while the engine is engaged, but it does not engage at all. There is no grinding and the fluid levels are within range.
I just blew up the manual transmission in my 1982 240d (what a terrible noise and vibration). I found a 1979 that might work and I'm just wondering if it would be compatible.
