Its hard to get pics of some of the best fail moments. But I was there during stock hours at Home Depot when a forklift operator dropped an entire f&*cking pallet of driveway tar on top of himself and that corner of the store..... holy sh^t. Epic

Is the left rear caliper on my 220d applicable?Tongue

I had to pry if off the rotor with a 4' pry-bar.
But at least the car will go faster now without it dragging.

300d stalls at idle.

Hi Everyone,

A cryptic problem brings me to your forum...I have a 1983 300d that I restored with an engine from an '84 300d. The car is fantastic. It has developed a problem that I can't seem to figure out:

I currently have a Lovecraft conversion installed and use a combo. of oil/diesel. I noticed that it has gradually lost power over a couple of months to the point that it feels like I'm driving a 240 uphill in a headwind!

A friend and I took the injectors apart, one by one and cleaned them up. This didn't make a whole lot of difference. It got to the point where I could drive for about 7 miles until I would have to shift the car into neutral at stop lights etc. to keep from stalling. I thought that it was probably junk from oil clogging up the system, so I drained the tank and put in a new tank screen, in-line filter and cleaned the Lovecraft filter. While doing all of this, I discovered that the small fuel pump that pulls fuel from the tank to the Lovecraft conversion was not functioning properly and replaced it.

I put two gallons of diesel fuel into the tank, along with a quart of Lubro Molly, thinking this would do it. Much to my horror, the car will not stay running. I have to press the accelerator to the floor to start it. As soon as I take my foot off of the gas pedal, the car quits immediately. I purged all of the air from the system etc. and am at a complete loss. I' thinking it's either my injection pump going out or perhaps I need a new set of injectors? I read where the shutoff valve sometimes gets stuck closed but I don't think the car would start at all if that was my problem.

Anyway, that's about it. I do apologize for the lengthy post, but want to get as many questions out of the way as possible. Thanks in advance to anyone who might have an idea and can take the time to read this. I look forward to participating more with you all. Mahalo!

It was mine, a parts car I bought for my 4-speed swap. I had looked at it the previous week and given the guy money, then apparently there was some shooting during the week, and he called me super apologetic about it. He did not live in the greatest area.

I didn't think to look, but I doubt it'd be that easy... unless they (Ford/MB) were in cahoots, I doubt it'd be a direct swap... but if it's close, it'd be easier to adapt. If you have an extra ford tranny lying around, you could measure it somehow...I have an extra couple of MB trannys at my parents house that I could measure, but it'd still be better to have'em side by side.

I'm thinking about slicing the front inch or so off of my toasted auto trans and trying to adapt that to another manual, ideally something with overdrive... If I could get that going, I'd be stoked...

Yea one never knows, I'm hoping I'm a long way from having to take my tranny out and all I have laying around is a lot of manual and automatic GM transmission so I have no way of comparing to a ford, but I thought that when it comes down to replacing mine that an OD ford tranny would be much easier to come by than a MB tranny if it were at all possible.

Efficiency and productivity fail.

Today my boss gave me a 93mile (round trip) service call to Bennett, for a single mudflap. And you wonder why it costs so much to ship something across the country. Rolleyes
At least I got 4 hours of easy windshield time. Big Grin
