Check out Pilkington classic glass program if you end up needing a
windshield. They sold me a Sigla glass for my w108 at a reasonable price
recently... About $300+shipping.

to adjust that because there are no more threads on the screw
visible any more. Which leads me to think that this has been

Turbo? I can't see where the U pipe would be with the aircleaner intake in the
way. I thought '81 was the first year for the turbo in the wagon. Mine was an
'81 and turbo anyway...
Not a bad deal except for the rear suspension.

Crack pipe. Rusty, non-SLS non-original engine, SLS has been removed.
May be turbo, I think the wagons had turbo engines one year before the
sedans.

'81 in the TD
'82 in the D and CD
'84 in the Continental Mark VII (2.4L BMW turbo, more powerful than a 617.95x,
less reliable than ANY Mercedes diesel)

My 1985 CA version 300TD was equipped with the same transmission as a 190E

The 1980 models were non-turbos. I know because I test drove a bunch of
300TDs prior to finding my first 1983 300TD wagon. The first US
model turbos were the 1978 300SD W116 sedans. W123 turbos were first
offered in US version 1981 model 300D sedans, 300CD coupes, and 300TD
wagons.

Curt, et al.I have nowhere to put it, even with help.I thought that your 190D
could use a body transplant.Wash it, transplant the trans, E Viola!Such are the

he'd need something much bigger (typically 50-100 HP range) to move whole

Well the damper looks to be screwed in really far which may be a
sign of a weak spring and if not then I think it would usually
show as hard to start and slow idle. When it's out too far it
will cause the engine to lope. I had one do that. I have a new
bolt that I will be putting in to see

Before buying the SD back in 88, I test drove a 240 manual. It must be an

Well, the old 220D with a fluid coupling was SLOW -- you had to pay
close attention when pulling out onto the highway! The 75 300D was
somewhat peppier, but not a race car either. That fluid coupling
makes for leisurely acceleration until you get up to 15 mph or so.
