Back in the 90's when I was working and racking up 80k a year on the road I had a number of MB diesels, early 80's and newer. I found that if maintained they were very reliable. Never had issues with starting in the cold; one time I left the 85 at the airport in Syracuse for two weeks in January, -25 the night I got back and it took two cycles of the glow plugs but she fired up and made the two hour drive home. My 84 & 85 190D's were 4 cylinder NA and a bit underpowered but delivered 45 mpg or better. The 87 190D was a 5 cylinder NA and drove like a gasser, plenty of spunk. The 82 300SD was the 5 cylinder turbo and was a ful sized cruiser, again hard to tell it wasn't a gasser other than the sound. All of thee had 125K or so on the clock when I bought them and, after a couple of years of use, all retired with over 300K. I wouldn't have a 4 banger if I lived in hill country, but for mostly flatland driving they are awesome on fuel.

I've already drilled the center of the bolt out with about 7/64" drill bit the entire length of the bolt. Only one end of the bolt is visible.
