    I have rebuilt about 4 instrument clusters now. I break them down and soda blast the old paint off the housing. It’s very satisfying to get rid of those white spots and have a brand new cluster. New paint job and polish the lens and it’s absolutely beautiful

    Any secret to finding a Bosch OEM monovalve? I have amazing A/C on my ‘84 SD but very little heat. I rebuilt my monovalve on my own a few years ago but have had trouble finding a replacement unit that I trust.

      You can buy new old stock on eBay for about 350 bucks sometimes a little cheaper. Or you can get the aftermarket kit from klimakit.com that works great.

      @ Really appreciate this. The A/C system we have is a Klima system that works awesome (installed by previous owner). I didn’t realize Klima had a monovalve option, too. Thanks!

      Yep they make a great replacement that completely removes the factory mono valve ​

    @11:11 I’ve seen some cars with temperature gauges in the bottom middle section of the cluster. Do you know if they can be added it in? Or not possible without a new cluster (frame)?

      All of the clusters have the provision for a temperature gauge. Some models came with it some models did not but you don't need to modify the cluster to add one.

    The enterior of an SD looks very cool. More modern than the 123s due to the vents. I just can’t stand the headlights at all. They ruin the look of the exterior to me completely.

      Everyone has different preferences some people like the 300SD and some people like the 300D. The 300SD is the s-class and is a superior vehicle.
