Thumbs up '83 240D

Looks very nice ! .

Same color as my beloved '82 .

Did the new motor mounts help the shaking ? .

There's a tranny mount too that is usually soft or parted .

The cute little engine shocks rarely wear out but they have rubber biscuits on the end that fail, they sell new kits for them .

There's a flat part on the upper end of the shaft to use a 7MM open wrench to hold the shaft from spinning as you loosen the 10MM nut ~ DO NOT touch the polished shaft to hold it from turning ! .

The oil filter O-Rings are one 6 and one 7 MM, remember you're putting them into Diesel contaminated oil so use Viton or originals from your M-B Dealer / the Classic Center else they'll soften up in a few months .

Very low mileage means this car should last you a long time .
