Hi Nate, its a 1980 240 4spd. I thought for sure someone was gonna tell me that fix was gonna cause trouble for some reason. I cant see this, with the 4 bolt fix, ever failing again. Max

Hi Max ;

I've never seen one with the rubber isolator on the stop lever .

It's usually at the firewall .

The one on my '82 240D was also broken when I bought it so it only got maybe 2/3 throttle and was  awful to drive .

I'm about to hit the road for a week or so , if i see one I'll grab it .

I've seen many of these isolators broken and repaired just like you did so that repair should last a  long time .

What year and model W123 is it from again ? .

Yea, sorry. Max, PS, hmmmmmmmmmmm, looks like my original message got sent before I was finished. The rubber part has just broken apart. Worst than my original one. I have a fix in mind but have to go to town to get some screws.

Help. My parts car throttle part  broke already. Anyone have one or does anyone go to those self junkyards that could get me one? I,ve noticed my 240 auto system is different than the 4spd, but the one I took out of a 300TD was just like my 4spd. Strange. Anyway I seem to be fresh out of this part. Its the part that has stop written on it. The rubber stuff just

[diesel_mercedes] Greetings !

 


From soggy wet HOT-Azona ! (it rained) .

I'm in Scenic Kingman, Az. to-night having driven here in the 1982 240D with one bad cylinder.....

AC is working O.K. , not great but if I take my shirt off and sit in my tank top it's O.K. .

I got up at the buttcrack of down this morning and filled the fuel tank of my '84 Euro. Spec. 300TD , 24.4 MPG , no AC , Startron used , left it cleaned and shiny for Shirley to use whilst I'm out of town .

I finished off the last tank in the '82 240D just South of Barstow, Ca. , it got 26.6 MPG's mostly in town , I hope to get better this trip to New Mexico , lots of mountains and I have the AC cranked all the way up (or is it down ?) .

I'm driving 60 ~ 65 MPH varying , I must have hit a curb as it drifts slightly to the right and when I correct it gently , it then wants to veer to the left.....  


Shirley asked me last week if something was wrong , she felt the car " couldn't go in a straight line " .


It'll go over 70 easily but I don't like to run the engine that fast .


Not much on the radio out here , I prolly should brought a big box of CD's .


It's been 15 hours and I'm tired so off to bed soon , more to  - morrow .

[diesel_mercedes] Re: Newer Mercedes

 

After selling my 1984 300CD, I bought a 1991 300D that I still own that just passed 384K mikes and is still running strong and a very nice 1995 E300D with only 212K (black/black) which still gets attention every where I go.  Both get ~30 MPG on a regular basis although the 1995 will get 33-34 on road trips.  Both require minimal maintenance and neither requires oil between changes.  Not sure how new you want to go, but there are still some decent 91-93 and 95 124 body style diesels around for under $5K.  If you want to go up a bit in size and price, 126 body style diesels i.e., 300SD,  appear on eBay occasionally for $5-$8K with under 200K miles.  A friend of mine just scored a 2008 E320 BluTec diesel with 59K for $14,900, but that is getting pricey
