Well I added quite a few more links today, I also made an auto forwarder so the address is shorter. It can be reached by www.diy.1baddsm.com this will forward you to the this webpage. Furthermore the amount of bandwidth to load the main page is about 40% of what was required before even with the additional pictures and text.

Edit- I went through and found & fixed basically all the bad links on the site whether in the DIY section or the base site itself. I never realized there were so many, several due to using \ and not / in the addresses.

Did anyone save any of Richard Easley's tech links? I came across his page earlier in the weeking looking to adjust my boost pressure, and in turn found this forum. Today I attempt to go back to his page so I can do the procdure and its gone! Just about every link to his site on the DIY page is not working.

nevermind, the links are back up again- well most of them are anyways. great site, i'll be around for awhile checking it out!

I added a few more pages that aren't listed above. I actually found a few more again today but lost where the site was, I'll have to go hunt that down again.

I just bought a 1978 Mercedes 300D in pretty good shape for just $400! It even has the original first aid kit and manual. I do have a few problems, any help would be great.

My seats need rebuilding BAD! Any sources for replacement covers? Any clue when the tutorial will be finished?

Take off power is really slow, any tips to increase performance?

The engine wont shut off when the switch is in the off position, but if I remove the vacuum line under the hood and suck on it the engine will die. Is this the pump or a blockage or leak in the line?

Thanks!

I know it was broken a little while back but I uploaded a backup version of it here.

I found that the link to the very helpful clock repair guide by Richard Easley was no longer working for whatever reason. I did find an active link in the internet archive:

http://web.archive.org/web/20050306115853/http://business.baylor.edu/Richard_Easley/autofaqs/clock.htm

I thought that I'd post the link here. I hope this is the appropriate location.

It might save someone some time in the future.

Sorry about the unintentional pun.

How about some torque Specs?

Unfortunately that was an external link on my site, I don't have any type of back-ups on those.
