I found him on FB. He’s getting ready to head back to India on Thursday and is
pretty well booked up for the week, so some other time.
Not sure what the deal is with India. He was there last year for a while as

They are vacuum just like all the other cars. If they are laboring you have a

Laboring may not be the right word. They lock/unlock at the appropriate
speed, quickly, but I can hear them operate. It sounds almost like when
you open a balky hood latch. But, I guess it's normal.

The 74 does look interesting. I'm tempted, but distance is an issue (from
NJ), as is my current commitments to other car projects.
Looks like a repaint, obvious from the data plate. Was it the whole car,

I don' tknow those cars but the solenoids in the SD/TD doors have a
diaphragm with a plunger that then attaches to a linkage. Anything in
the path, including whatever actuator, would be fair game.

I suspect this car is like the 124 & 140 cars, and there is a pressure / vacuum
pump either under the rear seat or in the trunk.
Could be you've got some leaks at the suspect locations, either diaphragms or
fittings.

up to 124 and 126 OM 601, 2, 3 are "normal" and almost never cause
problems. The OM606 has extra long GPs that break easily.
