1977 has a hand throttle, right?
If it's been sitting a while, I'd dial up the idle knob in the dash to
compensate,
I'd also want a couple of tanks of FRESH diesel and maybe some purge as Tim
suggested before deciding the idle was low.

What he said.
More likely than not, once you get the thing cleaned out and some fresh fuel
run through it for a few hundred miles, the idle will probably be OK.

Gear shift misalignment is easily cured by new bushings. they are
pretty cheap, but you may need to take the levver off the side of the

I got my hands a bit dirtier with the 240D today. I pulled out the rear
bench seat to find very little mess underneath. The cloth backing on the
