I hope one of you will make a new home for my best one. I have already sold both 300SDL's but this one is special. Check out EBAY and see for yourself.

Great looking TD!

Are you sure R134a is an upgrade? I've yet to experience an R134a retrofit that did a better job of cooling than an original R12 system. Ignore me. I've been nitpicking posts all day.

25-30 Mpg?

Nice looking 300TD

25-30 MPG, is this true? If so, what I can do to increase my MPG.

I'm getting 20-22.5 MPG, both on the highway and around town, not too bad, but I would like to get more

Driver Seat

Yes, I ran out of pictures to post limited to 24 by EBAY. I have a dozen more. Including drivers and pics of the skid plates. I hate it when I can't see drivers seat; I will drop 250Km badge and post drivers seat.

I thought the 85 California models all had the trap oxydizers. That's why the air cleaner was moved up front, to make room for the trap. What am I missing?
