Runs like a beauty! ❤

Any one else this type of configuration of W123 turbo diesel. My '84 W123 300D turbo diesel air filter is in another location. Wonder is this a base 300D and someone added a turbo later?

Line up 'tang'...

Good job but i would have got some oil out of it😊

What a Great video! Maybe one day you will come back and give some likes! hehe lol

At 6:35 I assume since you had modified the bulb where it only had wire on one side at least when you put in before 6:35 on the left side and it was not working. At least all you had to do was turn it (flip it in the socket) to get it to work and when it was in there wrong way it did not damage the circuit board, correct???

What kind of W123 is this with the air filter located where it is?

Wish I had saw your video before messing up my cluster. Thinking you install the bubs like they came.

At 1:47, why do they send the bulbs like that with the wire bent over both sides? Do they work like that in some instrument clusters with the wire bent over both sides?

do you think you could of managed to remove the dash without removing the screen now that you have done this?

Mine has the same issue when turning the key. No response from the starter but works when when i touch the wire together. Do you know what the problem was?

I want this so bad

Thank you for the great videos!

Nice!!

If you want to sell it I'll buy it. I accept free cars too lol

I know this is old but for anyone wanting to do this don’t replace the battery light with LED is is part of the charging system and it needs resistance of incandescent bulb to work properly.

Where'd you get your wire like prying tool? I have the same problem on my 84 300D and would like to do exactly as you demonstrated. Thanks for this very informative demo.

Do you still have your Pinz? I appreciate your videos.

Luke some others have said, I prefer your finish over 40 year old factory dark finish. Yours shows the beautiful "depth" of grain. Very very nice work!

Slow cars are good!

15:01 Really!!!😮This is the same car before - after!!!???😃👍I hope it is because cars like this deserve that kind of love!!!🙂👌

Ese coche en Europa se llamó 240D 3.0.

I recognized this place (arcata) immediately! We stopped to look at that car several times. I'm glad you can put some love into it!

Thanks for the video! I have 2 questions. Those febi discs works well? I installed febi engine mounts and worked worse than the old ones. The other question, only by removing bolts and maybe loosening center bearing bracket is there enough room to temove the discs???? Thanks a lot

I have an ‘84 300D Turbodiesel. Mercy’s bearing 400K miles with style & grace. Her window switches have tiny little shiny steel balls, slightly smaller than a BB, instead of the plastic tips at the end of the 2 springs that hold the rocker piece down. I’m rebuilding the switch button itself where the plastic has crumbled next to the spring. I’ll use a dab of jbweld & shape the plastic with a dremel tool. Great job on your wood refinishing video! I’m doing some of that right now.

Ooof. That rust is lookin spicy

Oldtimer Mercedes-Benz cars are the best. High quality and durability.

Saw the other w123 👍

Congratulations on your german tank/car very lucky to get it for free 👌 wow..

Sounds surprisingly good. Tough old cars!

I love it. I just got my 1981 240D back on the road that I bought a few years ago for a mere $1000, with a new set of Michelins, lol! I let it sit for a while, and decided to get it going. Tranny doesn't want to shift; have to drive it like a manual - let off the throttle and it'll shift. Lot of small things to get done on it, but hey, they don't make them like they used to! I've been driving 240Ds and 300SDs for the past 27 years. Congrats on the 'free' car! Rust looks kinda bad, but hey, I'd drive it! A little tinkering here and there and it still has life left in it. Thanks for the video.

Marking the striker position with a pencil works well as kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3-ylHdpfJdog9E shows. His video was not as good at showing the mechanism of how th striker works so thanks.

Excellent job! Very helpful. Thanks.

better with a 2nd person holding the door up to get the grease really into the friction affected zone

Thanks for your clip very helpful could I email you a photo of my AC for help on a missing part

What is that seal? I am going to try to do this tomorrow and I might not have that in the parts I ordered

Good! That’s real repair

Thanks for your videos! I have that chrome ring if you still need one.

I also have a w 115 benz car its very bad my dream is to buy a 123 / 300d benz car as per our country its just a dream The economy of my country sri lanka is a bad as my old car Buying an old car is just a dream for the people of this country the 123 / 300 d benz car will always be a dream for me............

Any updates on the “free benz”?

WECH I WOOD GAT A MARSADAS DESOL ..I NEDIT .👫

How tight is the new gear when it slides on after removing the brass sleeve? In other words is it hard to get it on the shaft?

My w124 300E is doing this exact CLUNK when you go from P to D, or D to R, or R to D. Did you fix it or find the root cause?

okay, where do I buy the gear kit? please.thank you. great video,

It's to bad someone doesn't come up with a 5 speed transmission for the w123 240d. I currently have the 4 speed manual but what a difference a 5 speed would make.

so imposible to get the heater fan, without removing the windshield and dash ? is this correct ?

Excellent content. I have a 76 710k. Got it Feb of this year. I have so much to do. Although it's in reasonable shape for its age it will require a bit of work. I have the manuals but content like yours is so valuable. Just subscribed. Looking forward to more. Please keep them coming! Thank you!!!

This is a W123 not 115?!

Did you ever post a video showing how to take off the door lower molding?

You a Legend my dude thanks for the trick to get that bushing off
