1973 Mercedes 220 D Advice?
I'm a first time MB and Diesel owner and I just purchased a 73 220D. I have yet to take the car to a shop.
The current owner told me that it has been a project car for some time. He told me that he drove it (for the first time in a while) to its current location and it "smoked a lot". Now, I haven't run the car (I'm planning on having it towed to the garage and tuned up before I run it for any length), but I'm wondering if anyone knows of any common problems for that era of Diesels?
Thanks!
