How to shut off my W123 diesel?

[dazdread]

Hi there,

It seems that my shutoff valve is either sticking or leaking as it has got progressively worse over the last month or so and finally this morning I sat outside of work for over 10 minutes waiting for it to stop.

So until I fix that how do I kill the engine?

In the videos online the accelerator linkages all seem to have a nice engine stop button but I cannot see anything on my UK spec W123 300.

Mine has a stop lever on the side of the injection pump.

The stop valve on top of the fuel injection pump is 25.00. Only two bolts, so easy to fit. I fitted a piece of string round the stop lever, and had the string coming through the grill for a couple of days till Mercedes posted me a new one. Hope this helps
