I've a problem with the self-levelling suspension on my '85 230TE. The back raises way too high. Must be a siezed valve or something similar.<br> <br> If the car is left sitting for a few days the rear gradually sags. When the car is started the back lifts to what must be its full height.<br> <br> Is there a specific component I need to fix?<br> <br> Thanks<br> Sean<br>

  6. 300D key won’t turn sometimes

    W123 E,CE,D,CD,TD,TE Class
    Hello all! We’ve got an 85 300D. A few months ago, out of the blue, the key wouldn’t turn. After looking online, I found that this is common on the older Mercedes. I got it to finally start and took it straight to the shop. They replaced the ignition cylinder. So now it has a new key for the...
