Hello. I recently got a 1985 300TD. It had been sitting at the last owner’s house for some time. The fuel line has been repaired but we found another leak. I will be repairing this tomorrow. I don’t know if this has anything to do with it not starting up. The glow plugs have been tested with a circuit tester to see if electricity goes though them and they all passed. The relay switch looks ok. Do you know what would be the cause of it not starting without starting fluid?

Also, I will be going to the junk yard tomorrow and wanted to know if the grille from a MB TD will work with my 85 300TD? Will any other interior and body parts from different year’s MB cars & wagons would work on mine. ie: glove box cover, driver’s seat back, attena…
