look "underneath" the oil pan behind the big sump. there is a bracket that has a slip connection to the cross member under the engine. It will keep the engine from lifting up. I just faced this myself pulling a motor out of a 240d to put in my jeep to replace the tired 5 banger I first put in it. Good luck

Subject: [diesel_mercedes] Oil Cooler Hoses -HELP- !
1984 300TD .
I was able to sneak out the lower hose but the top one won't come out for clearance issues so I unbolted the lower motor mount 100MM Allen head bolts , undid the four 17MM ATF nuts on the left side support and removed the tiny engine shock absorbers , tried to jack the engine up so I could remove the left side cast alloy support but there's -no- gap between the support and the motor mount (?!?) .
WTH ? .
I can't see what's holding the engine from raising up , I'm sure some one here will know what I've forgotten to undo ......
TIA ,
