I don't know if its me but the auto g/box on my 1992 300D sometimes feels like it's slipping a bit changing from 2nd to 3rd gear. I also think it's more noticable when the engines cold. The g/bpx oil has recently been changed and the level is OK. Any one any ideas as to what it might be...

I've just checked out my 1992 300D with 130K on the clock for MPG and it's doing 38mpg. Thats about 50/50 motorway and urban. I was expecting it to do a little more, but I'm, happy with that. Bob

I've got one or two 'pings' from car doors etc on my 300D, and they spoil an otherwise really good body. I've heard of people who can come out and fix them. I don't know whether to try and get them fixed, or if it's best to just leave them. How do they do it? Is it worth doing? Will it not...

I must be blind, yesterday I noticed that in between the sunvisors (just above the interior mirror) is what looks to be a mini sunvisor. Its about 6" long and 2" wide. I had not noticed it before! What is it? The car is a 92 300D. 1976 Citroen 2CV :bannana: 1992 300D Bob

Some kind person has smashed or stolen the nearside wing mirror glass on my 1992 300D. It looks like its been nicked because where it was parked there is no sign of it, or any broken glass! I am getting a new glass, but the problem is, it heated or not? The wiring inside makes it look like it...

I was speaking to a guy yesterday who owns a local automatic gearbox specialist garage. He's been in existance for at least 20years that I know of so he must know what he's talking about. He told me that they have lots of trouble with MB auto box's after about the mileage on mine (130K), with...

If any of you chaps are looking for new Michelins try Costco. I'm taking my 300D in tomorrow and Michelin Energy 195/65/15 are just short of £60 each fitted. P.S. I dont think all Costco's have a tyre service bay, but they do at Trafford Park Manchester. Bob 76 Citreon 2CV 92 300D

Sorry about that below, I pressed the wrong button:) I am shortly going to change the engine oil on my 1992 300D. Can anybody tell me which is the BEST OIL to use, and should it be synthetic or semi synthetic? 1976 Citreon 2CV :bannana: 1992 MB 300D Bob

I have a 1992 MB 300D and want to change the gearbox oil. I've just phoned my local MB dealer in Bolton who want £130 + VAT to do it!!!! Im going to give it a whirl myself instead. Does anyone recommend a good oil for this, and is it an easy job to do for an average DIY man? P.S. as...

My 1992 300D has a fault with the electric drivers window. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Its a pain when it gets stuck half way down, or up, whichever you want to look at it :D I have changed the electric window switch on the centre console and it isn,t that. I wouldn't...

My 300D has covered 130,000 miles and is in brill condition (I think!) The oil warning light is on all the time and doesn't go out. I am positive there is nothing wrong with the engine. It runs nice and smooth. After a run on the motorway and then stopping the oil pressure drops to just under...

Having just bought a '92 300D with 130,000 miles, and a service history of mainly oil/filter changes after 70,000 miles, would it be worth taking it to a garage for a major service, or would I be wasting my money? How much would a major service cost? Does anybody know a GOOD reliable...

I've just been and bought my first Mercedes :bannana: a 1992 300D. I looked at a few and was going for one with 65000 genuine miles when I saw another 300D, same year, with 130,000 miles on the clock but it was a minter. It had much much better body work, and it drove better and smoother than...

Well it looks like I might put a bid in for my first Mercedes! A 1992 300D with 65000 miles Before I do, is there anything I should know about the auto gearbox. Is it reliable and is there anything I should look out for? Also does it having a timing belt which needs changing, and at...

I am about to start looking around for my first Mercedes. It will be about a 1993 - 94 model and I will be looking at 250 and 300 diesels. I dont know anything about them. Can anyone tell me which one to go for, is there a big difference between them. Also is there anything I should look...
