[MBZ] '84 300D fan speed

I wonder if anyone on the list has experienced something similar and might be able to suggest a cure. The fan speeds, as governed by the upper(6th speed) and lower(1st speed) have for about the last year or so been providing what feels like possibly the 3rd speed(upper push button) and 1st spe

While travelling to PA on Wed. my '84 300D CC stopped working abruptly when I stopped at a toll booth in WV. I've repaired three of these electronic modules in the past via laquer stripping and resoldering the CC PC board as not all the CC functions stopped working. In this case, non of the C

[MBZ] '84 300D CC stopped working abruptly

Guys, I checked the brake lights and they're working fine, so I guess the next thing to check is the speed sensor on the back of the instrument cluster. Can someone inform me as to how to check this? TIA. G. M. Brown Brevard, NC

[MBZ] winter tire recommendation for '84 300D

Due to a recent harrowing trip thru snowy WV, I'm considering purchasing a full set of winter tires and recycler rims for my '84 300D. Any recommendations? I've found that the Bridgestone Blizzaks are no longer made in 195/70-14 size. TIA. G. M. Brown Brevard, NC

[MBZ] '84 300D CC & Hi fan speed

1. After the CC stopped working abruptly in my '84 300D (Note: laquer stripped and resoldered 12/10/08 and had been working fine since then) during a trip north over the holidays, I got around to installing this CC in my '85 300TD and it didn't work there, but the one in the TD (Note: laquer st

I've got an '84 300D & an '85 300TD, both with the bundt style forged alloy wheels (6J x 14 H2) and am looking into locating wheels at a recycler in order to install a full set of snow tires. The local yard appears to have an SD (W126) and the closest I can tell from the books I have is that t

I believe one of the traits for those of us with old M-B diesels is cheap genes, as I still have my Nikon F T which I purchased in '68 for $210 w/ the Nikkor F1.4 50mm lens along with a more recent Nikon FTN both of which I don't use as much as I used to but still do shoot film occasionally. N

Re: [MBZ] heat all the time

Andrew, I have to agree with JC, but you may have to look at the neoprene bellows of the monovalve insert with a magnifier as sometimes a pinhole or two, which may not be visible to the unaided eye, may cause this as well. Good luck. G. M. Brown Brevard, NC

[MBZ] no change after I changed the #4 & 5 fuel injectors

I started and ran my '85 300TD a little while ago and it still has a rough idle and smokes upon a cold startup, but warms up in 2-3 min. and then the idle is as smooth as an old diesel will get and the smoking ceases, so there's no change after I changed the #4 & 5 fuel injectors yesterday. Ne
