Re: [MBZ] Brake disks
You wrote:spec in the shop manual: 10.6 mm = 0.417. Mine measures 0.385. I presume this means I should change the disk before I put it back together and drive it 2500 miles. In a word, Yes. I suspect you'd probably be ok for a long trip like that - you won't use the brakes a great deal since most of your trip will be on the Interstate. The rotors NAPA has will probably be fine if you'd rather not wait to get Rusty's.

Re: [MBZ] '87 300d
Are the underbody panels available from MB? If so, I assume they;re expensive? I would think the panels could be fabricated without too much trouble. The fiberglass doesnt have to be very thick and there's plenty of acoustic material available. I guess if there were a market for them someone would make them?

Re: [MBZ] home made panels?
I would think the panels could be fabricated without too much trouble. The fiberglass doesnt have to be very thick and there's plenty of acoustic material available.

[MBZ] outside temp gauge on W124
Hey everyone, Small problem, Not a big deal, but got my attention. Seem the outside temp gauge, the digital on, is stuck on -38C. Not sure if they go and default to this, but we've had some real warm days here, so the gauge is about 100C out. hee hee. Anything I can pull apart and check? If not, I can just roll the window down and stick my head out, as I've done for the bast 25 years.

Re: [MBZ] '87 300d
They also keep the engine cooler by directing the airflow across the radiator out under the car. It really does make a difference, especially on the highway. I'll have to pull the ones of my old car, probably need to rescue it from the towing service soon, even if I'm not paying for storage there. Making them from fiberglass wouldn't be hard, once you had a mold (lol).

Re: [MBZ] outside temp gauge on W124
The thermistor that drives the gauge is behind the front bumper. If the leads are corroded and have high resistance, it will read incorrectly one way, shorted or grounded on the feed side it will read the other (I think very low temp would be an open circuit). My new 300D reads +130 C all the time, I suspect it's shorted.

I did notice that the brake disk looked a little thin, so I looked up the spec in the shop manual: 10.6 mm = 0.417. Mine measures 0.385. I presume this means I should change the disk before I put it back together and drive it 2500 miles. Correct? Having already overnighted seals from Rusty (he sent the other part number the second time and the right ones came) but not been able to leave for the IowaQ because of a sick wife, I have gotten the word that the wife wants to leave town at the end of the week when she expects to feel better. So I guess I'd better get it fixed. Or drive the Big Red Van (a 1989 Chevy S20 Sportvan Beauxville) which gets 15 mpg. NAPA had seals that looked wrong, I wonder if they have the correct brake disks?
