Kevin -
I have an 81SD and I screwed around with all that stupid valve system on top of
the valve cover. If I understand its purpose is twofold, first to control the
EGR system, and second to modulate the vacuum signal to the vacuum modulator on
the tranny. Well on my car it seems that a BB
The '83 300D has been flairing for over 100K since I bought it. Sometimes
think about replacing the parts that will fix it but have gotten so used to
it the way it is, why bother?

You young guys misspell so many words, I forget the true spelling and my
declining memory doesn't help either.
Many people born after WW-2 don't know how to spell. It's because of the
whole word learning system adopted by many schools back then that enriched
textbook publishers because schools
There all loosers

I would go with the 126 Kevin. Though they are not as ubiquitous as the 123,
the finish is nicer and lots more room. You can use much of the same parts as
the 123 to keep it on the road. I am not enamored of the 123, it is common and
most of them do not get the care they deserved by being the
I agree.
I was going to improve Frosch by removing the AC clutter, since it does not
function. Mechanic told me not to. I would gain no measurable power and
probably piss off the next owner when he wanted to do a complete restore and it
was missing all the a/c goodies.
I decided that when
It could just be an issue with fluid level and gunk in the filter. What does
the fluid look like?
High miles and minimal care would doom a transmission. Does he have records?
I was pretty pleased that Frosch had records since 1987 that showed continual
care and major work was done as
car would have to be excessively inexpensive for me to bite, knowing I would
have to redo the trans that quickly. Budget $2k for a trans, and the car
would have to come in at $1k, have no other issue and be wanting only fluids,
filters and detailing

Phonics has gone in and out of style for a long time.
Around 1940, when my mom learned to read, it was in fashion. 1945ish, my grandma

Had phonics in the mid/late 60's in my part of Indiana. By the mid 70's it had

I went to look at the 1982 300SD today, and it didn't follow me home. It
had many strengths although it had lots of little issues, but one big thing
chased me off. The first red flag went up when he pulled in with the car as
we were pulling up. I personally like to start a car cold to see
I sold the rusty, trusty, high mileage 240D, so now it’s onto the next
Mercedes Diesel. I found a couple for around $1K. The first one is a 1981
300D with the ACCII setup (no servo), and a 1982 300SD, both near 300Kmi. The
300SD is supposedly a good runner with good body and interior as is
