got a dead '83 300D Turbo; anyone want parts? (I need help, too)
Guys, I need some serious advice.
I bought this '83 300D from this guy who said it had oil pressure problems. I bought it and trailered it to my house. I cleaned out the ALDL circuit and it ran like a champ for about 2 hours. Then it stalled and now it won't turn over, at all. I pulled the motor and tranny, now they're sitting behind the car. Tried taking the tranny off the motor, but you gotta rotate the flexplate in order to get at all the bolts for the torque converter. I took out the glow plugs and put a 3 foot breaker bar on the crank bolt and nothing happened. Is this typical? OR am I really hosed. Anyway, I don't want the car- just the motor. Anyone want parts off of this? I need to try and make some money off of it so I can get rid of it. I'll take pictures of it and post them up in a few hours, if anyone's interested. It's pretty solid. I'll ship almost anything. |

One more thing to add:
I'll trade the whole thing, motor and all, for a running 240D engine with a manual tranny. LoL. |

What color is the interior and how does it look?

How good are the front fenders? You did make sure that you do not have a seized accessory like an alternator? I guess the bar would have slipped the belts if so. But if not? If you had normal oil pressure for those two hours I would be curious.

I could use some parts - my engine has a loose rod or broken crank banging about.
take off the oil pan and then take the rod bolts out and you should be able to turn the crank. the pistons are probably welded to the sleeves.

HoleShot,
I'm in Rhode Island. Just bought a 240D and I might (revised: will most certainly) need some parts. Maybe I could swing by this weekend or early next week? Don't quite know where Wallingford is but I can't be too far. Tom Doran Last edited by ThosDoran; 07-22-2006 at 03:30 PM. |

I'd like some of the interior if it's palomino. and a few other parts here and there.

My camera went dead after those shots, so I'll get more of specific parts if anyone is interested.

Parts
I'm also in need of a few items...First the little yellow check valve that sits beside the brake booster, has 2 yellow line hooked to it that go thru the firewall and the other end go in line with the vacuum line going to the brake booster. May need a CCU, definitely need the console around the shift lever with ALL the switches intact...Might need more, but this is off tope of my head I have an 84 300D turbo...

I need to add that anything on the engine I'm going to need to keep because I'm going to salvage the engine. I only bought the car for the motor. As soon as I can get the auto tranny off of the motor, I will be selling that, too. The only things from the motor that I am willing to get rid of are the cruise control parts and pieces (if I can get them off, the two A/C line bracket bolts are pretty buggered up into the fuel filter bracket) and the A/C stuff. The compressor is already out of the car and ready to be boxed up. Quote:
