I Installed mine Saturday at M-B of Arlington (VA) in the 1985 300TD.
Slightly awkward but not overly challenging. Trickiest part was threading
the banjo bolt and 9mm crowsfoot fitting into the new cell. I had the tech
start these for me... Cross threading would have been a fatal flaw.

The extension of the driveway has passed the 28 day mark, so it’s considered

I was thinking about sealing it with something, basically to keep nasty stuff
out like grease and oil. No risk of freezing down here, so that’s not an issue.

I think a good SDL with nothing wrong would bring 10K, so it is
probably about even value. (understanding the buyers for a perfect

Another way to look at it is: AN SDL that good for $6000 is a steal.

Without doing a lot of legwork, a quick review would suggest that my car (2003

I have roughly $6.5k in the car including my purchase price.
Using that as a basis point the question becomes, would the W126 as described

So, I am probably a victim of the fact that there were 2 different
300D's in 1976 as the 115 was phasing out and the 123 was just coming in.
They sent me the new one rather than the old one.
