I have been looking for a 300TD for some time now. I finally found one. Drove it about 160 miles back home, drives very well, Needs lots of TLC.
I started my project today by cleaning the engine, diesel purge, fuel filters change and had time to change the oil as well. Tomorrow I am installing the fast glow plugs kit and if I have time I'll start working on some of the interior stuff (driver side door handle, instrument cluster lights etc...). I have noticed a small fuel leak near the primer pump from the line that goes to the fuel filter (see pictures).
Here are some pictures and I also have a small video of the engine running, tell me if you think that I should change the injectors...
