Let me start by saying that this is a fantastic forum and full of great information and knowledgeable members, I am glad I happened on it.

Where to start...I have two diesels, a 1982 300TD, and a 1996 E300D. The 300D was bought with intentions of it replacing the wagon for a couple of different reasons, mainly my wife and son and their frequent road trips.
So we picked up the E300D this afternoon and rode out to dinner in our 'new' car, my wife while driving adjusted the steering wheel and lit up the EMT and ABS lights...also the speedometer and odometer stopped working. Now this wouldnt even phase me on the TD, but have just bought the 300D it puts my mind in a tailspin. I am quite sure(hopeful) that it is mearly a loose wire or some such thing. The car still runs and drives just fine, and everything else works...what could be going on? Please advise..

Also, where would be the best place to get an owners manual for the 96 E300D? Thanks in advance.
