Thanks for the reminder, thats the other thing I'll order Monday...
I did them on my '81 300TD and it was pretty easy. A 1/4" socket set with a
u-joint socket is the way to go. If you have magnetic sockets all the better as
you won't drop the nut on the end. It'd be a good idea to have a magnet on hand
to fish that nut back up with.
Easiest way is to take the injection lines off, maybe a good time to replace
the clips if they're tatty and you care about that sort of thing.
Even if you don't you should be able to get to all the glowplugs without to
much acrobatics.

I decided to splurge and replace all my glow plugs for my 1983 W123
300TD
wagon. The car starts poorly and stalls for the first 2-3 minutes;
also, I
haven't replaced them in 150 k miles.
1) Does it matter what brand I purchase? Cost seems to range between @
$8 -
$12.
2) What tools will I need? How long will it take (I am somewhat
experienced)?
3) Are there any pitfalls?
Thanks in advance,
Andrew

The British hated everything German so much after WWI that THEY started
calling them Alsatian Shepherds...even Alsatian Wolfdogs in some instances.
Since the 70's (I think) the Brit's have eased up and now call them German
Shepherd Dogs. In the US, they were always officially known as the German
Shepherd Dog.
That Alsatian thing really bugs me. The same anti-German hysteria swept the
US during WWI too. At the beginning of the war there were over 10,000 German
language schools in the US. By the end of the war, I think it was 12. If it
weren't for that, I (and alot of others) would probably still speak German
becuase my family (mom's side) wouldn't have had to hide their ethnicity. Oh
well.
Sorry for the rant.

Thanks Tom, that makes perfect sense. I forwarded some of the messages on this
thread to my friend who was telling me (and others) this line and he ceded the
point.

Nothing new here. The "nits" have been arguing about this for years. The
people that seriously lubricate car and truck engines settled this and
make fine oils. Mercedes warned against choosing oil based on API
rating. Use a Mercedes rated oil and it will protect your engine.
