I just got a sweet 1980 thats been garaged for the last 4 yrs from the original owner. Very well kept. Interior clean and in great shape. Its a diesel with 161, 000 miles any hints for me I am a lady thats tired of mechanics taking advantage of so I'm researching all that's possible. I got it because she replaced the trans 4 yrs ago and ever since she couldnt climb hills. No power. The other day after a mechanic did adjustment on the trans and motor along with flushing almost every possible line I found pieces of plastic that was wedged under the Pedal between the frame and the carpet under 2 original mercedes floor rugs. Anything else I should look for. Any wires that can come loose or wiggled loose. That makes the car run like a dream?
