The Husband and I are taking the 1983 Mercedes 300D on a road trip from San Francisco area, through Bend, Oregon to Chelan, WA then back down thru Portland, Oregon. This is approx 1600 miles round trip. The 300D is in great shape, fairly low miles but not sure since odometer works ONLY intermittantly, newer rebuilt engine and rebuilt AT plus many rubber hose replacements about 1.5 years ago. New tires, runs great, regular oil changes, etc. Hubby isn't mechanically inclined and has no tools, so we need to bring it to our diesel head guy who knows old Mercedes. What do I need to have done prior to the trip aside from an oil/fuel filter perhaps air filter change & valve adjustment? This should be fun, as I love driving this car and get to visit friends and my daughter on the trip. Just wanna make sure the 300D is in tip top shape rior to leaving. Please advise. Thanks in advance!
Mary
