240D overheating

My 1977 240D with 260,000 miles, which ran wonderfully up to the point where I decided that I need get the green stuff out, now has overheating issues. I replaced old coolant with the Zerex GO-5 per numerous reference on this forum and other sources. While changing over I also back flush the cooling to confirm that all of the old coolant was completely removed. After purged the system of air through the bleed screw in the top of the thermostat housing and running the heater, I thought I was back on the road as good as ever.

1983 300SD touchy wiper switch issue

Wiper/Indicator Stalk Issue My 1983 300SD thinks that it has automatic wipers! Some instances when I use my turn signal, the wipers intermittently wipe the windshield and will continue to do so until I jiggle the switch or use the turn signal again. It's really quite frustrating and has started to noticeably scratch my windshield!

Transmission issues on '77 300D

the battery died on my 300d. I had my father-in-law pull my 300d home with my F250 (with tow-strap) about 7 miles. I put the 300D in neutral (AT) and about 1/3 the way there, the speedo cable broke. I finally got it running and now the auto tranny seems to be slipping a little bit from going 1st to 2nd, and from 2nd to 3rd. Any thoughts/suggestions? I'm ordering an "Early Auto Tranny service kit (1)" from you guys anyways. Any advice on the speedo cable? I'm using my GPS for now to tell me how fast I'm going. Thanks!

115 front seat belt issue.

Hi all I'm in a bit of a fix with the local car authorities. I currently have 2-point seatbelts in my W115 (one near the shoulder, the other in the middle of the bench seat). They are saying that I can fix a 3-point seat belt in my W115 and consequently refused to let me renew my license until I change it. My mechanic though is saying there is no where to bolt the third point (somewhere under the shoulder). Can anyone confirm which of the two is right? Mark
