Thanks for the reply folks, You have been a tremendous reassurance to me. By the way, I see that you are lovers of MB, I am also. Aside from this 85 300TD, I just got a 1993 S350 TD, That has all the trimmings, and I have a 1990, 260E that is quite a car as well. I also have had a 1985 200, and a 1981 230E; and a 1971 220D. So needless to say, I love these cars! So again, thanks for the help!
