1987 300D first start

Ran two cans of diesel purge through the 300D just now. Made a mason jar purge container with a kerosene lantern funnel so I can keep it topped off with purge. The purge turned an ugly shade of amber/black.




Vid below of when I started. Nailing is all but gone now.

Does the Dual radio work well with your bluetooth phone? I have a "Blaupunkt" Madrid, which seems to use the same Chinese electronics. It totally screws up my Iphone. I have to turn off bluetooth whenever I'm in the car.

It works great. Intercepts calls clearly and pulls up recent calls. I play the Slacker music app from my iPhone and its clear. Controls from the radio but doesn’t display whats playing.

Are you using it with an Iphone? The problem with the Blaupunkt is that

a) It doesn't play with Siri.
b) It quashes voice prompts for navigation.

Which pretty much makes it useless, even though all the other functions work.

Looks good. Everything I wished mine was. Mine is in poor condition sadly. Unfortunately I have to sell mine, but I'll hopefully find another w124 diesel in the future in smoke silver/maroon interioe

Youll find one. I have some more knots to brush out of mine but she should turn out nice.

Cold start. New glow plugs. Angry injectors.

My 89 420SEL is cold.
