My 1st MB . . . A 82 240D Manual!

Howdy!

Well I bought one yesterday . . . was a bit hot in the Phoenix area yesterday! saw 114F on wifes Volvo going to look at the MB!

I have a few questions:
1. The Drivers door does not latch if you slam it, but if you close it very lightly . . . it latches fine! Is this an adjustment issue?

2. Driving back with the A/C on Max, fan on III the engine temp was running about 110 - 112C at about 55mph, bumped up to 65mph, it crept up to 118C! Is this normal fro it being so hot outside? once I slowed down to about 45, engine would cool down to 105-110C

3. Every once in awhile I would see the seatbelt light flicker on . . . maybe 4 times in 169 mi . . . (BTW trip & odo read together, and are off from Volvo's trip by 2 mi for that trip home!)

4. This morning I went out, and now can't get into the trunk! The key turns but doesn't open . . . is that the vacuum system that leaked down? The pass fron door was also locked, which was unlocked last night if I remember . . . drivers door was unlocked . . .

5. Does the A/C "turn off" when the temp is met? I don't see a "switch" to turn it off or on, Is there no "vent" position?

6. I have most if not all the service records on this, it looks like in the area of 67k mi it had the timing chain replaced . . . is that normal? Also vacuum pump & oil pan . . . at same time! maybe a accident?

Also noticed in one of the folders written "Spedo replaced at" but no number, maybe it was done, maybe not . . .

It needs some clean up, and TLC, but is rust free, and runs good!

More later . . .

Oh, yeah here are a few pics . . . it was dark out this morning . . .
