Hey everyone stumbled across this site earlier via search engine. (so far the best MB forum I could find
) I just bought a 1987 M-B 300 TD Automatic. The car isnt pretty its low mileage at 78,000 miles. The car has sat for a year or two and its interior is rough( mouse poop etc) How ever for the price I paid I couldnt go wrong.
Tomorrow I am going to throw a battery in it and hope it drives onto my trailer. What do I need to know, what do I need to look for, Im not expecting to just drive this car 300,000 miles with no problems, I plan on oil, oil filter, fuel filter etc, but not being familiar with this car at all what are common problems, and what should I look for. I am really excited about the car the previous owners took care of it but it sat and there was one problem about a fuel door that wouldnt open etc.
If you were in my shoes and it was your car with your knowledge what would you have "me" do.
Thanks for all your help
And thanks for having this forum.
