Hello again, well im just curious where the starter for my car is located , and is it a pain to try to replace yourself. I have a 1984 300DT, and the mechanic wants to charge me 450$ to replace the starter... i cant afford that so im looking at doing it myself, i have replaced a starter before, but not on a mercedes. I ws not able to locate the starter bu just looking under the hood. Any advice or help is much apperciated. Thank you again.
