I don't gamble, and I don't buy cars without an in-person look. Too risky for

Overpriced but also worth the price if it has been dealer maintained.

My brother’s 78 240D with series type plugs doesn’t start without excessive
cranking. The strip fuse appears intact, the plugs as well but we replaced them
for good measure. Turns out there appears to be no power to the strip fuse so

Yes, and yes. Also yes, it can sometimes be repaired. Re-soldering
and possibly replacing internal capacitors can do wonders for these
middle-aged electronics. I've resurrected numerous such items in
the past. For

What's the cost of the kit to upgrade to the newer parallel style? Kit
includes the new relay and plugs.

Might as well go all the way. Tasteless becomes eccentric which evolves
into iconic.

Since a relay is a pretty simple electrical switch that uses a small
current to close a larger circuit [ie starter solenoid] how about just
finding an off the shelf relay that has the same values for both the low
circuit and the high power circuit?
I wager the glow plugs don't care as long as they

I am considering installing a trailer hitch on my '84 300CD in order to
move some personal luggage from my winter home in Florida back to my
northern home. Are there some difficulties I should aware of in doing
this?

Pry the relay open and clean the contacts with emery cloth and deoxit.

Have someone turn the key while you watch the relay to see if it closes. If it
closes then check the contacts to see if they are corroded. If it doesn’t close
push it closed and see if that sends electrons to the glow plugs.

I guess I need to cut a hole in my hood also.
Mileage is also down, or so it seems. I have hit 31-32 a couple of
times but seems to be 28 most of the time. Seems like it should be
hitting 32 most of the time.

Fuses depend upon the square of the current multiplied by the time
