So... i got my 87 190D 5speed back on the road again.

Thing is, the car has a LOT of quirks since last i drove it.

Firstly, the tach nor the speedo work.
I think the speedo cable was acting up before i parked it in... 2015, i did get a new one i have in a box at home. But the tach issue is new.
My guess is the trans shop broke something when they swapped in the new clutch.
Where to begin testing whats wrong there?

Next issue is, the emergency brake handle button is gone. I remember the button being loose, and i have heard i can get one printed from a file online. Yay! An excuse to buy a toy! 3d printer on my wish list... a new tech center opened up near me and they have a ton of models to choose from.
Any links to search for the file, please let me know.

Next, the turn signal stalk is clunky, sticks onto directions chosen, and its clicky to cancel.

The brakes are uneven, and mushy under panic stops.
I will flush fluid, change the hoses, and free up all pistons to see if i can find a stuck one or two.


Also...

How the hell do you get the fusebox cover off?
