It's not too bad. It cruises fine at 70mph. The only issue I've had is an uphill on-ramp. Then it gets a bit concerning merging onto a highway at 45mph.

FS: 1967 200d - Oakland, CA

SOLD.
Asking $1800.

This 1967 Mercedes 200 diesel has been fun to have, but it's time to move on. With only 55hp new, she won't win any races. What she will do is give you a grin from ear to ear...

Just wrapping up this thread. I went out and got a replacement caliper for $59 (+$35 core). The braking has improved tremendously. There's still a slight pull, but not scary like before.

Brake Pull to one side.. help me with next steps

Hi all.

'67 200D and it's developed a nasty pull to the side on braking. It pulls to the left. At first, I thought it might be a bad front-right caliper. I don't think that's it though. With...

Yeah. I didn't realize it would be blocked.

Did you mess with your relay at all or did you simply swap out (removing ground & creating wires for the parallel circuit)?

I thought the kit allowed for the glow function after engine start to aid in engine warm-up. Plus, I wanted to keep the gorilla knob setup.

Ugh. Perhaps someone...

Thanks! That 3rd GP has me worried. I don't know how a GP could possibly be removed as the coolant line to the heater core (I'm guessing) looks close.

My service manual shows a 3.92:1 for the 200D. This is where the $$$ really start to add up. I'm thinking that finding a w108 rear would be hard as my local junkyards usually only have mid80s-late90s...
