So I picked up Zedic's '87 300TD yesterday in Toronto and drove it back to Detroit. Trip went well. I think I'm going to like this vehicle. The 3.0L is quite different than the 2.5L in my '90 124. No noticeable turbo like the 2.5. Jeff left me with a number of unfinished suspension jobs but provided most of the new parts. Should ride like new when I'm done. Good job for the x-mas break.
Time to off load the two parts wagons! Ralph W.

Not noticeable at high speed. So it's either high speed or off these days. How does one access this unit. I've heard it is through the cowl screen on the engine side of the firewall. Is this correct and how easy is it? Can the bearing be fixed or lubed or is a new assy required. Any help would be appreciated. Ralph W.
