I have learned how (at least I hope so) to do my old 300D. I put it up on ramps so that I can get under far enough to see that I have the canister lined up properly. It is easy enough to get the bolt off center and then it will sort of tighten into the groove rather than the threaded part it is intended to be in. Then it will leak and you will bend the canister lip so that it needs to be straightened. I learned this the hard way obviously. I do wish I had the slightly more modern version so I could just do it all from up top. I like the car but that alone might make me swap if the right one came along. That plus the turbo would be nice too. I really want an early 80's SD but I don't really want a worn out one and they are obviously becoming more difficult to find.

I knew there was some kind of oil-to-mechanic delivery system installed on W115 240Ds at the factory.
