Hi, sorry if this type of question was been asked often.
I'm inheriting / being given an 1984 280ce with about 100k on the clock. It failed it's last MOT in 2007 due to emissions. It then was taken of the road and stored under a tarp for a few years. The current owner bought it, took the...

From the article:

Hi Everyone,
I was just wondering if anyone else has had a problem with clutches on new Sprinters 313.

Hi folks
My trusty machine has started getting very warm at speed under load. I have had to reduce speed to around 65mph to get the temp down to reasonable temp although still a bit higher than it should be . Up a hill it gets worst, and looks as though it will reach over 100 degrees if i dont...
My friend has a 1984 123 series 230 E petrol. He would like to know how to get the Power Steering Resevoir Cap off. Might sound a bit daft, but he's not sure wether you twist, pull or yank. I think its rubber. He dosent want to damage it i presume. Many thanks for your time.
