Thanks for the tips on the climate control unit. Didn't think of the solder fix
but I'll give it a try. It is a solid car, not a heap. The 123 chassis is all I

The blower motor for the climate control would not work in site. Pulled the
motor and direct wired it to the battery and it worked great. Does this mean
that the either the climate control unit or the fan switch is bad?
It will not work on defrost which I thought was the default mode which
The odometer is not working on my 83 300 SD, but the speedometer is. Took out
the instrument cluster and then remembered it is electronic and not mechanical.
I know how to fix the mechanical units that came in the 300D series but not
this one.
Anyone know how or can point me to a write-up?
I need a diagram or photo of the vacuum connections on the box on top of the
valve cover. I don't have the repair CD, the one for the 300D is different. The
dry hoses at the front connection broke apart and I don't know how to hook
together. Has fouled with the tranny shifting and maybe the

My recently acquired 83 300D had weak brakes when I bought it. The pedal was
soft. While bleeding the system I found the front calipers were barely working.
Rebuilt the calipers and now the breaks are still soft. Bled with a pressure
system and I think I have all the air out. The pedal will

suctioned all the fluid out from under the cap but the front section is
seperate and still full of fluid. Starting to take off the front calipers to

Need to rebuild the brake calipers on my '83 300D. Don't know if they are ATE
or Bendix as I don't find any name on the rear one I have off. Does anyone know

expense. Will just (hopefully) replace the screw, bleed the

Back on the list after a 3 year or so absence. I was laid off at the auto
auction where I had a moderate supply of old Benzs, although that supply was
drying up. Took another job that kept me too busy for a couple of years and
then battled cancer for a year. Now I am cancer free, my job is
