I installed a remanufactured starter from Advance Auto in my '81 300D soon after I bought the car back in July. It wasn't easy considering I didn't have...
well all I know is 1) my 78 does have the "turbo-diesel" script on the trunk and 2) the engine was replaced with a blue crate engine and 3) it is now a NA non...
I don't have any advice for your starter, but I need one too. Is your starter a rebuilt Bosch? How much was it? Did you notice Rustys outfit has "light duty...

3 things to try. #1 Pull the starter and put it back and see if that changes anything. #2 Put the car in gear and push it a bit, then try the starter again. ...

Better be very nice for that kind of money. I'd say the average 240D is more like $2k. Run your finger over the windshield rubbers, if your finger comes back...

It all depends on how well it was cared for. If you really are going to take excellent care of the car 500k miles should be possible. If you're short on money...
Thanks for the reply. Fortunately it turns out to be, pretty much, a false alarm. Turns out that one of the wires (the small one) that connects to the starter...
Well, turned out to be just a frayed wire that I missed, so the starter is fine. Yes, it is a rebuilt Bosch - I think most of the ones availiable now are, but...

Curt, It turned out it was a naturally aspirated 1980 300D for $1900. The engine seemed ok from what little I drove it, and the body was, er, ok, but the...
