The popping sound is backfiring this occurs for a few reasons one reason is your vehicle is running to rich or to lean this happens when you don't have the proper fuel and air mixture you can adjust this with a screw on the side of the carburetor. Another reason could be that your vehicle is firing to late or to early you can adjust this by retarding or advancing your distributor.
This could be several things. I would suspect the timing belt has jumped a tooth, or the cam could be going flat. If the engine has a lot of miles, it would be a good idea to change the timing belt.

Its nothing!
"Popping up" means coming into sight or relevance. If you are at a beach crowded with birds, and they seem to be multiplying, one could say they are "popping up everywhere". Or, if a certain celebrity cuts her hair a certain way and it becomes a popular trend, then that hairstyle will be "popping up everywhere". I hope this helped!

One could find details on the miles per gallon a Merceded Cosworth gets with highway driving from someone that owns the car. They should be able to give an answer, also a dealership that deals in similar cars should be able to give an accurate answer.
24 mpg city i dont know highway ----------------- Expect rougly 30 MPG highway, could be higher or lower depending on your driving habits.
It depends. If you do a lot of off road driving, it could happen in less than a year or two. If you do mostly highway driving on well-maintained roads, it could be ten years or more.
if they are drum brakes it could be that the drums friction surface has a defect on it and everytime the shoes hit it it pops or it could be a bad hold down or quieter spring in the drum itself
