[diesel_mercedes] injector rebuild ...addicted to ether 1982 300td

From: Rick Hawkins Java <macjava@aol.com>Date: February 2, 2011 5:12:23 PM ESTSubject: injector rebuild ...addicted to ether 1982 300tdFolks,Despite the dire predictions, i'm not addicted to ether. Following the injector rebuild i got a warmish day today and removed and tested 4 of the 5 glow plugs, two were bad which i replaced.I'll save #5 for a sunny day.NONE were bad back when my starting problem first developed before the injector work, however.So with at least 4 known good glow plugs the car now starts effortlessly with no flaming rags or ether in the intake at about 42 F. I'm sure it will do fine colder, too.
I'll do the valve adjust on a nicer day, too.thanks,xx rickRick Hawkins

Re: [diesel_mercedes] Re: 77 240D motor mounts
Wow, $75 for a motor mount? I paid $50 apiece for them at Napa a few years ago before I discovered the online parts houses. I found out I could have gotten them both for $36 with shipping, less than I paid for one! Second on the nono on used motor mounts! Unless you're lucky, they'll either be hard and dried out, or soft and oil soaked, both no good! You won't believe it's the same car after the mounts are replaced!
