it should be a four speed, but may start in second unless you floor the gas pedal.

is it the one cam 230 motor? sitting vertical or slanted a bit?

it is, i would think, the four cylinder version of the 250 six. and many parts from the 250 i would think will fit. others such as the air filter might be same as a 240d. most parts you will need, i would think will be readily available, you will just have to learn how to ask for them.

any 23o only parts you should be able to get through your favorite mb parts specialist or the dealer by giving the part number.

that is how it is with my 280e euro.

good luck.
