Dash Light Problem
Hello
My dash lights are almost unnoticable. How do I make them brighter? Is there a dimmer switch or something because this is dimmer than any bulb should be. The car is a 1987 300TD.

Clutch help needed
UPDATE2: Continuing to reverse bleed the system. No luck. What should the brake pedal feel like when I'm bleeding the clutch system. Should it go to the floor everytime (like it does) or should it pump up tight? Any help would be appreciated!!

Fixed troublesome 80-81 auto trans for good!
I would like to thank Kent and Kaia for all their help and tech info over the last few years.With the help of their manuals and parts I have been able to fix oils leaks and all of my vacuum leaks trying to get my trany to shift properly.I was told by Kent that an old style trans would work in my car but to make sure to take ALL the linkages from the donar car. Well 2 weekends later and I am back on the road with only a few adjustments on the linkage left to do.

Synthetic Motor Oil and high-bypass secondary oil filters?
I have seen the stickers on peoples' cars and read extensively why I should buy the products. I am wondering if anyone else has feedback or firsthand experience using synthetic oils (ie. Amsoil) along with the high-bypass filter on gas or diesel engines? Please ask if you need more information to answer the question. I am thinking proactively towards - theoretically - extending the engine life even further. I would use the secondary high-bypass filtering and oil condition monitoring to watch for metals/chemical imbalances present as the engine hours and miles continue to accrue.

Dash lights not working
Hi I have a 82 240d and the lights on the dash board wont work. When I turn on the switch, the light will come on that lights up the transmission but the dash stays dark. Because none of the lights come on in the dash, I assume that a circut is broken, and I was wondering how I would troubleshoot it. Also I would like to know how to replace the lights just in case it turns out that they all burnt out. Thanks.

clunk clunk when tranny downshifts when not under load
I have an 81 300sd with 334,000 on it. Have changed the flex plates and recently had the driver's side rear wheel bearing looked at because i was experiencing a clunk when i put the car in reverse. The mechanic said the bearing was going, but tightened it up and now the clunk is better ( a temp. fix... part is on the way...) but i have been noticing a 2 stage clunk when i accelerate after the car warms up. if i depress the accelerator quickly and let up quickly it clunks on the depression and release, also when the tranny downshifts when there is no load on the drive line, like when i am coming to a stop going up hill. any clues?

1984 300SD sun roof motor
Does anyone know how to remove the sun roof motor from the trunk? The sun roof was working slow so I tried to remove the motor and ended up taking the bottom of the motor apart which dislodged the motor brushes.
