Hi Guys
So whilst browsing through an auction i say this Mercedes 300 CE / Diesel and bought it online knowing little about the car except that i liked how it looked.
So the car was delivered to me and it all dawned on me.
1: the car on DVLA database shows as a 300 CE/ Diesel.. i phoned them as CE would be petrol they tell me no its a CE and its a diesel.
2: i fired up the car it started first time with some hesitation, popped the hood and return fuel line was spewing out fuel (easy fix i had some pipe i replaced it )
3. moved the car forward in what i could think was first gear into my tiny garage , then tried to shift back.. i couldn't find the reverse gear, i tried top left , bottom right , top right , bottom left.. its not marked any how i cant seem to get it in reverse gear
4. to top it up i turned off the engine to get out ohhh the engine didn't turn off, took a bit of googling and manually tuned it off the engine with the leaver .. i found a few broken vacuum lines which i can repair later.
since then iv done some what reading up on the cars however i cant find much on the manual gearbox, i take it its a 4 speed manual 1992 registration , can anyone help me with a diagram of the gear lever positions, before i take to a garage i want to establish if its the shifter bearings , the arms or something up with the gearbox itself , any info around the manual diesels would be appreciated , pictures , diagrams .
Many thanks
