Any luck resolving the power issue?

Sorry for such a late reply, I haven't been very active recently. No, I never resolved the power issue. I ended up getting the transmission shifting very nicely... until a few weeks ago when it started slipping. I was looking into taking it apart and fixing it, but I ended up just getting another mercedes.

So, now I have a, '84 Turbo 300D-- which I aim to be driving it within the next couple weeks (My 1949 Dodge has been my daily driver, and my 80 mile commute to school is kind of nerve-wracking, not knowing if something will fail).

Time to start a conversion from US-style stuff, to Euro on the new slug!

I don't think that matters. Its a euro, prolly did not come with cruise. Prolly added here. 84 on IP prolly corresponds with an 85 model, imho.

Nice clean looking motor looks original to me.

Who knows. The lever for the cruise control on the inside of the car is in german, if that helps confuse anyone!

This car has officially been stripped and sold, so I have a few parts that I will put up for sale soon, including the euro IP.

I want to do it through eBay, for a couple reasons. I saved some of the interior, where it was different from the US car. Unfortunately, it isn't in good condition. The wood is missing from the center console piece, and back plate things for each of the dials are cracked.

The fan control dial had the wire cut. I was not aware of this, until I pulled it out. It was taped to the other side of the cut, and the cut was on the car side of the cable connector .

I have a recently resealed power steering pump, as well as the hoses accompanying it.

I have the alternator.

I have the intake manifold.

I have the Euro IP, which would come with the metal lines.

I am sure there are a few more things that I have which could be sold, but nothing is coming to mind at the moment. It is also dark. I'll probably go look through what I've got tomorrow, and then start posting things on eBay by next week.

Once the first listing goes up, I will create a separate thread, in the proper area, listing what is for sale.
