1975 230 parts help
I bought a decent, very original 230 sedan a couple weeks ago. Overall the car is in pretty good cosmetic condition but the engine needs help. The compression is below the minimum at around 100 to 115 pounds. It does run but it's pretty weak.
I've searched online but haven't been able to locate a source for parts to rebuild the lower half. Pistons, rings, bearings seem to be a rare commodity for this engine.
Is there a source I've missed or are the parts just difficult to come by?

1969 300SEL won't pass emissions.
The Carbon monoxide was way too high, so I took it to an import specialist and he's saying that I need a new fuel injector pump. It's not the fuel pump, but the injector pump.
The mechanic said that these are not very adjustable and I need a new one - which he said costs around $1600. Yikes! Does anyone know any tricks to adjust these so I don't have to buy a new one? Or maybe the problem with the emissions is somewhere else?

Adjusting the Idle on a 1981 240D
After doing a valve adjustment my D gear idle seems to be a little low and the engine shakes a little more than it used to. I am pretty sure the adjustment was done properly but for some reason I get a little more shake at idle and I was wondering if anyone knew how to adjust the idleon the 240D 1981 Autotrans mercedes?? Has anyone seen this before?

240D Auto Transmission Shifts Prematurely After Valve Adjustment?
I have a 240D 1981 and I recently performed a valve adjustment. The adjustment seems to have gone as planned but when I began driving it I noticed decreased power due to the fact that the tranny was shifting too early on all gears now. I may have 1st of all done the adjustment poorly or may have messed up some vacuum lines to the tranmission shifting system which I don't understand too well. Anyone have any hints?

'83 300SD Cigar Lighter
The cigar lighter in my 300SD doesn't work. I plugged in my iTrip adapter for my iPod and it isn't getting power. I'm not sure if I have to replace the Cigar Lighter unit or if it's just a short. If I have to replace the unit, where can I find one??? I've looked all over online.
