Rob,

 

Your timing is impeccable.  This is next on my list. Like next week!  I feel like I’m inside a pleasuring device at idle.  How much was it?  Didn’t take any pics did you?

I installed a new rack damper bolt yesterday, which I got from the MB
classic center. It was a fairly easy change, beyond the tight space
where the bolt is. Just remove the bolt, swap the lock nut from the old
one, put on an O-ring, and replace. Start the car, and adjust the bolt
until just when the shaking stops, which was almost all the way in, then
tighten the locknut. I noticed the new spring tip was much stiffer then
the original, and the change seems to have stopped the shakes at idle.

And what pray tell is wrong with a readily available, inexpensive pleasuring device?  The car can't use much fuel at idle.  You're not likely to get as good a deal downtown.

[diesel_mercedes] Re: Re : Regarding Trish's 300D

 

Hi Trish, very sorry to hear of the dead engine, but I am testament to the worth of taking the engine swap route. In one week, we managed to remove one engine, externally service as much as we could while it was out, remove the other and strip it of all that we could and install the good
one. (1984 300 SD). Approx 80 hours of work end to end, engine started on first try and I've put almost 15k on it since (just turned 280k on motor, 190k on body). It can be done, but does help to have someone like my brother who knew more than I did about diesels. Best of luck to you!

[diesel_mercedes] Re: 240D wanted in N. California

 

Problem solved.  I found a 300 TD for 2800 with 241k on it.  Runs ok.  Needs
some work.  Door locks work.  Manual sunroof.  Front fender needs help.  Not
sure weather I got lucky or not but my wife wanted a wagon and now she has one.
