When you get tired of the mules, jump on over to OD and hang out with the asses. Your parent's rules apply there too.

Only 5 ? That's just a good case of the disease. I think when you have 3 of the same model and COLOR, then you have a "bad" case of the disease. Of course, I might get exempted into the "bad case club", since I paid to have a non running 300SDL parts car transported from near Orlando, FL to Memphis, TN. I really wanted those front seats. edit --- I just counted the cars in my CURRENT signature. YIKES!!!! Oh, and that doesen't count my diesel truck.

I was in Nashville last weekend, and found a 190D.....well, sort of; he had a 190D and a 190E....does anyone see where this is going? The 190D was from Vermont with salt rot everywhere, so he pulled the engine and put it in the 190E (Tennessee car -- no rust); all the rest of the spare parts were inside the 190E\D. What was left of the 190D was the body frame with doors still on it; nothing else. Poor rusted, Vermont thing, needed to be put out of its misery. And of course, we HAVE to see photos. The BEST photo you could post though would be your wife sitting in the driver's seat with a big smile on her face. It was HER find. Is the car in good condition?

OK, got a bit more time this morning. Here's what little I've learned of the 300SD.
The good
One more thing --- what are the pump up looking things beside the seats?

When you tackle those glow plugs undo your fuel lines and the line connectors ,they will push up out of the way for easier access to the gp s.Dont go crazy with moving them around though ,the alignment to reinstall can be some trouble .A reemer could come in handy before you start.Nice car,congrats.

With the unknown high mileage the cold start issue could also be something more serious. Looks gorgeous anyway. W126s are starting to give me an itch. Oh dear.

Check the glow plugs.
Tach amp failure, most likely. Those pump up things may be a lumber support bulb. A/C may have seized, and tore the belt off, at least that's what happened to mine.

Do you want one with a BIG back seat? It would do you well.
