I know it’s been mentioned several times but the fakebook search sucks. I
literally had an ad for a car pulled up, looked at map of where it was at, went
back to Fakebook and now I can’t find it anywhere. You search Mercedes and it
pulls up just about every other make as well, and I can’t find a
odometer rolled over

NEARLY FLAWLESS

I think Randy is correct on all points. The gas engines available today are so
powerful, fuel efficient and long-lived the advantages of a diesel are
considerably less than they used to be.

Identical color scheme to the one I bought and restored in the 90s.
Despite the peeling louvers, inop cruise control and tape cassette, and
numerous other flaws it's already at $10k.

They stumble lean, the governor open the throttle, they overrev, the
governor shuts the throttle, they go lean and stumble again.
I'd assume 2 strokes are the same, plus if you get unmetered air through

I have a W210 chassis with the same engine. I don't recall having any issues
removing the bolts for the tensioner. (Alternator, yes) You might try soaking
them with your favorite penetrating lube for a day or so. I got a tensioner at
Advance Auto Parts and it was a Litens, made in Germany, IIRC
