According to the owner, the car has some rust but it's been fixed. The

Hello,
A friend of mine has screwed up headlights on his 1987 W124. The left side needs
the bezel (plastic fog light lens) and the right side needs the glass headlight
lens/globe assembly. Probably easier to just get two whole used headlights, or
at least a right (passenger) side since that one

The history of repairing those heads is VERY poor. I know of a few that
have been repaired and the repairs have lasted more than 20kmi but MOST
of the attemps at repair
From what I understand, head repairs are never guaranteed by shops to start
with, and you would need a really good shop to properly work on any diesel
head.

Hi Clay,
I noticed you have a 95 E300D - I'm thinking about a 95 or 96 for my

possible - and certainly desireable with todays high diesel prices!
What are you seeing in the real world?
Also,
Anyone know a size for the SMALL screw that serves as a cam adjusting
screw inside the heat-activated choke on the dual Zenith's on my '72 250C?
I have rebuilt them, and the rear one did not have a screw that catches
against the cam on the lever arm inside the spring activated choke
Why not call Rusty or order it from a dealer?? Sometimes the obvious
route is the best one to take.
Mercedes is not Ford. You can probably get this screw easily!

My 85 300CD passenger window is acting up a bit. it
works well except it won't go up the final 1-2 inches.
Anybody have any ideas? Is this likely a bent
regulator, or just in need of lubrication? Haven't
got around to pulling the door panel to look just yet.

Joe, I had a 1970 280s with the dual zeniths and only one of the carbs had the
choke adjustment screw your mention. I think that's because the screw sets the
fast idle speed by riding the cam. Choke operation is independent of the screw.

Yep a couple of clicks then it quits. maybe 1 click

doesn't seem to make a difference if the engine is
