ORIGINAL: MercedesMan300D

ive also got a 300D... but i think mines the oldest ;p

i got a Green (love it or hate it, do that latter and ill run over your foot) 76 300D

i just love that car...

so just for clairication, i should keep a extra gallon of diesul in the trunk, along with a extra fuel filter?

its been in storge for 7 years(was my dads, rest in peace)
all ive done to it was change the oil, and top off the fluids(had to put 20$ worth of diesul in it[:@]...

also, im wandering if i can steal a turbo/intercooler off a newer modle and put in on mine (like you said, takes 5min to get to 60)

... its got a problem though, not a major one, but still a problem or 2...
i can turn the stearing wheel 5 degrees, without it turning the tires. It squeeks when im doing it(warn bushing/shaft im thinking), i can hear a metal thud when it catches.

it also has high oil pressure (NO idea whats going on), but the needle stays at 45 untill it gets warmed up, then dips to about 40)

o, and I want to hook up a tach to it...

(thought i was gonna do a short post, so i guess ill make a list for you lazy tybe )

should i keep a gallon of diesul and a filter in the trunk (and how do i prime it?)

what can i do to this car to make it semi-drivabal in the winter (live in WI, so think snow)

it was sitting for 7 years, and all i did was change the oil/filter (what else should i do?)

I'm wandering if i can put a turbo and intercooler on it from a different year 300D

Theres a bit of play/squeek in the stearing, im thinking warn shaft and bushing (anything seam wrong with my guess?)

and finally, its got high oil pressure(pegged at 45) untill it gets warm, then it dropps slightly.

hope some one can answer theese for me (o btw suki, sorry for kinda hijacking your post... if you care you can hijack one of mine ((member to wrap a diper around your head like me))
