560SL starting issues

My 89 560 sl suddenly began to skip while running low rpm. Parked the car. Now it will not crank at all. I am getting fire. I poured a little fuel into top of engine. Still did not crank. Went kinda like da..da..da..dadada..da.da.dadada.da..da. Maybe one noteworthy observation is it has progressively been harder to start. I am not very good with tools but this is my car and I want to learn to repair problems. I have ordered a reair manual. Thanks for any response. Ronnie

AC Part Time

1985 300DT For some reason the tach will quit working periodically, when it does the AC also only blows warm air. What is the connection and how can I repair it? You can stop, turn the ignition off and restart and everything will work correctly again...for a short time.

valve orientation when installing manual climate kit

I have a question about the "Manual Climate Control Override" kit, specifically about installation of the valve included in the kit. The valve has an arrow on it, apparently indicating flow direction. But there was nothing in the MercedesSource instructions addressing valve orientation. Does it matter which way the coolant flows through the valve?

Diesel "wobble" & groaning turning right

I have a 1984 300SD & it has developed a "groaning" sound when I turn right. I jacked it up & with the car running turned the wheel, no sound (most likely because it does not have the weight on it). I grabbed the tire I turned the tire hard manually & got a little noise from what I believe to be the "Guide Joint" on the top of the Steering knuckle. It looks to be in great shape. Any tips to solving or isolating the problem?
