Does anyone know how to fake out the external lamp failure indicator
when replacing H-4 bulb dual filament. The light goes out ok when
using low beams. The HID system I used has a  magnetically operated
shield inside the xenon bulb that moves to redirect the light for high

I've got a 1983 300SD.  When my tires wore out, I bought a set of new
later model (1985) MB chrome rims which were 15 inch'ers.  Also bought
Michelin 205/65 - 15 tires.

wider than original because the spare cover in the trunk will not close.
Also, I do not like the appearance or handling.
I did not get a manual with the car. Can anyone tell me the proper tire

1985 230CE. I need to remove the steering wheel but the bolt is very tight
as if someone used green Loctite on the threads. There is green paint on the
head of the bolt. I am using a strong impact wrench. It removed the crank
pulley bolt with ease.

I got all the vaccum issues straightened out on my 300 TDT.  It was
beginning to run great, but then the second day it was working well a
valve stuck and then I realized that that has been the source of the
starting problem.
