I sold the rusty, trusty, high mileage 240D, so now it’s onto the next Mercedes Diesel. I found a couple for around $1K. The first one is a 1981 300D with the ACCII setup (no servo), and a 1982 300SD, both near 300Kmi. The 300SD is supposedly a good runner with good body and interior as is the 300D. It does have a couple issues. First, the tranny flairs a bit between 2nd and 3rd for a few miles of driving while it’s warming up, but it’s normal when warm. Also, the vacuum lines/switches on the valve cover are missing. The seller said that he took it to a shop who told him that the missing vacuum lines were the reason for the flairing, but I would think that it would shift HARD if this was the case. Should I look into it, walk away or RUN?
