Count your blessings. My windshield replacement on the '95 E300 started with a
quote for $235 but a previous bad installation caused corrosion which pushed
the
cost over $700.

I'd recommend finding a guy who will do it at your house and agrees with your
plan, and agree in advance on what he'll charge if you find rust, he goes away,
and then he returns to finish once you've got the rust fixed to your
satisfaction.

Only if it is geared right. Unless a 5 spd has an overdrive fifth,
or the vehicle has a lower ratio diff, you only go through more gears.
Most trans have the top gear 1:1 so the engine turns the same rpm at
a given road speed whether it is a 3, 4 or 5 speed. (unless the diff
ratio is
I had the windshield replaced in my '84 300D last year by Safelight and they
tried using a generic windshield seal for which they wasted most of a day
trying to make things fit. I obtained the proper W123 gasket from the local
highly regarded indy (Euro-Spec) and then the windshield and seal

My understanding is that Mercedes of the 123 and earlier era had 4th gear as

Yeah but if the conversion was otherwise done well, worst case is you need to
find an unmolested OM617 to drop in. Should not be difficult.
Diesel is $4.00/gal here now, I expect the WVO/bioD interest to be picking back
up if that holds.

Biodiesel, I'm ok with.
WVO makes me cringe... poor IP and injectors...
I'd say, get if you're ok with replacing motor.

The 2.2l 190Ds all have the same diff so the auto is quick off the line but
runs out of grunt. The manual has the overdrive 5th to keep the revs down on
the highway. My auto 190D and manual 240D (4spd) seem to rev about the same on
the highway.

I just pulled a working Grand Prix from my '84 190D, as far as I know it was
original. Worked fine, just not for my style of listening. The Kenwood I put in
has CD, USB and an aux port which I desired.
You can have my Becker for the shipping.

Right side, just behind the front wheel. I think its more properly the fender

Its a strange little noise...
Goes away about 20 seconds after the clutch is disengaged or once the car is

happens at all, especially as its warming up outside.

Pilkington (not plinkington) has been MB OE for some years now. My '08 has
all Pilkington glass and a replacement windshield last year ($880) was also

Hi Andrew,
I don't currently need a transmission. I was interested in B.Dikes
if it was an MB factory rebuilt. I might need one some day.
Thanks,
