Hi members. I am the owner of a 1979 300d andn i love it. however, as a very uncommon girl that thinks she is a little bit more mechanically inclined than i really am, i sometimes end up in a bind.such is the case.

I have replaced 3 of my 5 glow plugs which would be 5 of 5 but there is a problem...I broke the brass nipple that is on the end of the temperature control switch which is locasted right above the glow plugs. i have one ordered that will be here tomorrow.

also, i had opened a couple of the fuels lines in order to get them out of the way and i returned them to their proper placement.

my car won't start.it does not sound like it is pickiong up fuel. i pumped the manual injector pump until it was tight. I am wondering if the fact that their is no connection between this temperature module and the rest of the car is the reason it won't start. also, the glow plug light is not coming on...
help!!!!!!!
