My mechanic looked after the car for the previous owner. He checked
out everything and in the shop it starts every time.
Valves were done by him, the glow plugs fine. He's baffled!
He said I may have to take it into Mercedes to have them run
diagonstics on it.
Is there anything else before I take it to them?

What kind of "diagnostics" does your wanna-be so-called mechanic think any
dealer****p could run on a 1979 116 body 300SD??

"Valves were done by him, the glow plugs fine. He's baffled!"

How about a compression test?

How about a battery performance test?

How about finding a real mechanic instead of this parts replacer you are
wasting your time with?? Test test test.
