Diesel RVs

Wow that is neat. I met this guy once, a retired engineer I guess, that belongs to a club that the guys build tiny engines, gas engines that really run. Some kind of scale, blew my mind. Little tiny V-4"s, V-8's. This guy made a oil pump out of old watch gears, made his own tiny spark plugs out of I don't know what. He showed me a engine once, whipped it out from under the counter, had a eye dropper for gas, hooked it up to a tiny battery, it cranked over and ran. Blew my mind. And I was thinking I was kind of cool because I built a bunch of custom houses. Gee whiz. that was amazing. Max

I just bought my 300SD from Charlotte, N.C. this summer. The odometer had alreadt stopped, at 256K The AC still works, the power door locks still work, and the vacuum system holds good...the rear windows had just quit, and now the driver's window is down 1/4" and I can't see how I am going to get power to it to raise it. Is there a schematic for the window switches? I popped one of the rear ones apart, not knowing all the wires would become seperate!! I guess I can pull the oyher rear switch and see the order that one is in, and replace the others to their rightful order. I don't need them to open anyhow, but the driver's window would be nice! Maybe I can canabilize the rear to fix the driver window!
Have to understand the problem before I pull anything else apart.
Oh, BTW, the car had 5 brand new Michelins on it, and a 6th wheel with an almost new tire on it! Once they salt the roads, I won't drive it till spring. It is too nice to destroy by roadsalt. It would be like a death sentence for it.
