Re: [MBZ] Vacuum leaks 1980 300D
Correct. You also need the sections of the manual that lay out the vac schematics, so you can see how the whole thing is organized, and so you can know what to check and what it means. You need to work on the door locks through the fittings at the firewall and those under the front pass side carpet.

That right tool is a Mity-Vac, a hand-held device that has a hand-operated vacuum pump and a vacuum gauge.

Re: [MBZ] Am I on crack...?
I think it's fair for a car is the shape described. I'd pay it. Only thing, I keep hearing all these stories about how long lived diesels are and then see many with engine rebuilds at less than 400,000 kms. Nothing wrong with a rebuild engine, but makes me question the premium often asked for old diesels? I have over 350,000kms on my gasser now, and it's all original. Engine is strong and trans shifts well, so I do question the whole, "diesels go forever thing". But to answer your question, I think your car seems like a fair deal. I even think the colour is pretty good. :-) Ed 300E On 09/11/2007, Joe Knight <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > http://sfbay.craigslist.org/pen/car/473707498.html > Most probably but I've found a replacement so it's time to see what > it'll bring.

Re: [MBZ] OT Welding Bicycle CroMoly Frames
Okay, many of you know I am quite inept at fixing cars. But here's an example of my ingenuity. I can fix stuff - it may not be pretty, but I can. Really. I'm attaching three jpegs. One of them is a before shot. I had some nice stainless sheet metal pieces that I've kept for years since working in a metal fab. job. I set about making a plate to fuse the broken frame together. As I got into it, I realized I should make a sandwich. A similar plate is bolted to the inside of the frame, and the fasteners run through. The fasteners are cheap and weak. I intend to replace them with some nice high grade ones, but they are holding fine so far. The frame is rock solid, and now my only problem is that the rear wheel bearing is so loose, the tire rubs when I pedal hard, and the chain can skip.

Re: [MBZ] xenon bulbs burned & purple...
Depending on what you have for lamps/lens the higher wattage bulbs could melt things because of higher heat. Normally this is not a problem for mercedes assembles that are not USA specific. You are running 20% higher wattage thru the wires, normally this is not a problem for mercedes, but your milage may vary depending on the year. This might require installing relays and running extra wiring, likely I would do that for my w123 since the wiring there is technically marginal for current flow. But technically it's not needed to be done. now if you run 100W bulbs the two issues above become much higher/ riskier On Nov 9, 2007, at 2:06 PM, Christopher McCann wrote: > "but at the expense/risk of > running higher wattage." > > What is the expense/risk?

It is funny how some colors stand the test of time and others become very dated. The golds and avocado greens of the 70's have not really stood the test of time like some colors do. We still have an avocado green refrigerator in the basement. Don't mind the color but wouldn't want it in the kitchen now.

"but at the expense/risk of running higher wattage." What is the expense/risk? Higher wattage bulbs don't last as long?

I'll note if you use H4 you have a choice of now using Philips X-Treme Power H4 or Osram Night Breaker H4 Both I think use the concept of reflecting infrared lighwaves back to the filament making it burn hotter. I'll note this is fairly new to car bulbs but is has been used in Philips 90W IR outdoor bulbs for awhile now. Osram also makes a Hyper H4 which is 70/65w versus the 60/55w normally found. In my reading the Hyper bulbs get the nod for the brightest bulb, but at the expense/risk of running higher wattage. Otherwise apparently the Philips are the brightest H4 bulbs at the moment using normal wattage. > Do the HID bulbs last SUPER long? That would justify the price, in > my mind. Yes regular tungsten based bulbs are rated in 100 of hours using a standardized test procedure. HID bulbs are rated in thousands of hours, thus for example my burned out bulb is the original one used in a car which had day time running headlamps for a 10 year period. They speak of the bulb life as the "life of the car" we mercedes owners know that means heh? 7 years or something... I note that on the island here I always see Smart cars running with burn out headlamps since they are DRL and use H7 high intensity bulbs which have a low hundreds of hours rating and of course replacement of the bulb is a non-trivial affair.

Re: [MBZ] Diesels Vs Hybrids
The gasoline we burn is just a small part of the demend. You've heard of the stone age, the bronze age and the iron age? Well, we are in the petrolium age. Let me explain. Almost all of the plastic we use, from parts in your car to just about everything made of plastic in your house, is petrolium based. The fertilizer industry is petrolium based. Much of the paint industry is petrolium based. Much of the solvent industry is petrolium based. We use petrolium based fuel to raise and harvest our food. We use petrolium based fuel to transport all of our goods. We use petrolium based fuel (natural gas) to heat our homes and factories and offices. And the list goes on & on & on. In other words, stop driving and it gets a little better but the problem does not go away. The short term answer is coal - anyone want to re-consider having a nuclear power plant built in his or her backyard?

Re: [MBZ] Diesels Vs Hybrids
Va power is evaluating resuming construction of a Nuke at one of their existing sites. IIRC, they had a building permit at one time - don't know how long it is good for or perhaps it doesn't expire. I;'m sure the environmentalists will be trotting to court to put the brakes on - IMO, nuclear is the only practical way to provide power to vast numbers of the population. Even France is fully committed to nukes. I worked on the Clinch Riv Breeder Reactor project near Oak Ridge Tn - the politicians dumped it after spending $2.5 Billion on construction and material. Ended up with a very expensive hole in the ground. The project was never meant to provide electricity - only to prove the concept on a production but one congressman said, "We don't need the electrity." Duh, we just added a turbine generator to prove the project. Another congressman, further showing his ignorance said, "We have waste nuke matl stored al over the US - we don't need another reactor producing waste." The nitwit didn;t understand that we were building a reactor that would *use* all that waste as fuel!! Double duh! Oh well - too late now.

Good old Al Gore does not appear to practice what he preaches. Leaves him without much credibility in my books. Randy -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Rich Thomas Sent: Friday, November 09, 2007 10:49 AM To: Mercedes Discussion List Subject: Re: [MBZ] Diesels Vs Hybrids You are pretty much correct, but the problem is the rest of the developing world wants to live exactly as we do here in the states (or other developed countries) and they will burn everything in sight to get there --coal, oil, trees, whatever.. Telling them to stop or grow greenly is a good thought, but I just don't think it is going to happen. I got into a discussion the other day about Algore and his warmist binge. Whether he is right or wrong really makes no matter -- my point was that he could get a LOT more benefit (on the enviro front) by changing how the rest of the world is going to grow rather than harping on minimal marginal effects in the developed countries of changing consumption. He is not, to my knowledge, making movies in Chinese and whatever languages they speak in India, and promoting them in the schools there to an impressionable captive audience, or haranguing Chinese politicians about the CFPPs they are building at a very rapid rate (and all the other crap they are spewing into their/our environment). If he did, they would either politely laugh him out of town or tar and feather him and ride him out on a rail. Here and in Europe there are enough people who have the luxury (and it is a luxury) to worry about such things over and above what consumes most peoples' in the world's bandwidth and aspirations, and so he has an audience. Again, it matters not whether he is right or wrong about the global climate change thing, it's where/how he chooses to make an effect and how much that effect could be. Selling carbon credits on a transatlantic flight to wealthy travelers is a nice feel good idea, but stopping one dirty CFPP will have lots more benefit. If he really had sense and commitment that is where he would be making the effort; otherwise, it comes off **looking like** a scam to raise taxes and generate income for something or someone (whether it is or not, I don't know). Using WVO to make fuel is a great thing. How much effect will it have compared to the real hard problems, like every Chinese and Indian wanting to live like your average (or even poverty-stricken, especially the fat ones!) American? Not much really. But it is a nice start, and A Good Thing. Big baseload nukes feeding electric or hydrogen cars is probably the cleanest way to go, as long as we can keep the whackjobs from turning the leftovers into bombs. Yeah that will take time, and yeah it will cost a lot, and yeah some fringies are way out there on the nuke waste thing. But you drive across this huge country, and see all the open empty land (even near a big city like Houston), and finding a place for a few nukes (or their waste products) is not too hard to do. The plant about 80 miles from here is looking to add a couple more reactors, as is another one up towards Austin. To my knowledge none of them has had any but the most minor incidents in 10 or 20 years operation, and the newer designs are faster to build and cleaner to run. And their emissions are minimal, and the waste is pretty minimal too. As technology marches on that will be a solved problem. I really enjoy seeing the knowledgeable and reasoned (and even ill-reasoned) ideas floated from our little community of Benz-heads here. Those intertubes are a wonderful thing. --R David Hemsley wrote: >Again, my opinion.

[MBZ] quarter window glass installation, '81 300TD
If anyone out there has done this, I sure would appreciate their comments. I am replacing the glass in the quarter window. There is a large "L" shape metal frame that the window rubber seal needs to be attached to, which in turn is attached to the vehicle by pulling the rubber lip over the edge of the window cut out and then a couple of sheet metal screws hold the whole thing to the body The window rubber seal has a 45 degree angled projection that runs half way around the seal, that needs to be inserted (somehow) into a channel on the metal frame. I have tried soapy water, silicone grease, light tapping with a rubber mallet and lots of hand pressure trying to coax this seal into the channel. For more hours than I care to admit Any ideas from the group will be appreciated.

Re: [MBZ] doing your part
There is a company named Syntroleum in OK that can make highly refined diesel and jet fuel from natural gas or coal or animal guts. They are going 50/50 with Tyson to build a plant in OK that can turn 500 mil lbs. of guts into 73,000 gal of diesel. The Air Force has flown a B-52 and a C-17 with a 50/50 mix of their natural gas diesel. Just a drop in the barrel, but its another start. No interest except that I own stock in the company and plan to be filthy rich.

Re: [MBZ] Diesels Vs Hybrids
You are pretty much correct, but the problem is the rest of the developing world wants to live exactly as we do here in the states (or other developed countries) and they will burn everything in sight to get there --coal, oil, trees, whatever.. Telling them to stop or grow greenly is a good thought, but I just don't think it is going to happen. I got into a discussion the other day about Algore and his warmist binge. Whether he is right or wrong really makes no matter -- my point was that he could get a LOT more benefit (on the enviro front) by changing how the rest of the world is going to grow rather than harping on minimal marginal effects in the developed countries of changing consumption. He is not, to my knowledge, making movies in Chinese and whatever languages they speak in India, and promoting them in the schools there to an impressionable captive audience, or haranguing Chinese politicians about the CFPPs they are building at a very rapid rate (and all the other crap they are spewing into their/our environment). If he did, they would either politely laugh him out of town or tar and feather him and ride him out on a rail. Here and in Europe there are enough people who have the luxury (and it is a luxury) to worry about such things over and above what consumes most peoples' in the world's bandwidth and aspirations, and so he has an audience. Again, it matters not whether he is right or wrong about the global climate change thing, it's where/how he chooses to make an effect and how much that effect could be. Selling carbon credits on a transatlantic flight to wealthy travelers is a nice feel good idea, but stopping one dirty CFPP will have lots more benefit. If he really had sense and commitment that is where he would be making the effort; otherwise, it comes off **looking like** a scam to raise taxes and generate income for something or someone (whether it is or not, I don't know). Using WVO to make fuel is a great thing. How much effect will it have compared to the real hard problems, like every Chinese and Indian wanting to live like your average (or even poverty-stricken, especially the fat ones!) American? Not much really. But it is a nice start, and A Good Thing. Big baseload nukes feeding electric or hydrogen cars is probably the cleanest way to go, as long as we can keep the whackjobs from turning the leftovers into bombs. Yeah that will take time, and yeah it will cost a lot, and yeah some fringies are way out there on the nuke waste thing. But you drive across this huge country, and see all the open empty land (even near a big city like Houston), and finding a place for a few nukes (or their waste products) is not too hard to do. The plant about 80 miles from here is looking to add a couple more reactors, as is another one up towards Austin. To my knowledge none of them has had any but the most minor incidents in 10 or 20 years operation, and the newer designs are faster to build and cleaner to run. And their emissions are minimal, and the waste is pretty minimal too. As technology marches on that will be a solved problem. I really enjoy seeing the knowledgeable and reasoned (and even ill-reasoned) ideas floated from our little community of Benz-heads here. Those intertubes are a wonderful thing. --R David Hemsley wrote: >Again, my opinion.

Re: [MBZ] doing your part
Certainly algea is one avenue that still needs improvement on yet posses a strong possibility. However, there are also limitations with algae that hopefully research will help alleviate. My point of interest for biodiesel is to utilize community based resources. I cannot even recall how many times I have been offered soy at a very good price - but lets review the offer a little more closely. Lets see the soy is grown in South America shipped to the US via ocean going tankers and then shipped closer to me by rail and finally delivered to me by truck. In my opinion that makes absolutely NO SENSE! Palm oil is great. IF it is local, currently grown, harvested and utilized commodity. However, to cut down forests to plant more crop only defeats the purpose of sustainability in my thought process. Dave H... __ From: "Kaleb C.

Right on. They are uprooting peat bogs to plant oil palms and in so doing are warming the climate significantly, according to yesterday's news item.

Re: [MBZ] Mobil 1 5w50
If you see extreme cold you can run M1 0W-40 in your OM-617. Otherwise Delvac-1, a/k/a Mobil-1 "Truck & Turbo Diesel" OR M1 15W-50 will be fine. Even the 15W-50 will flow much better at cold temperatures than a conventional oil. Approved oils at http://www.whnet.com/4x4/oil.html; any of the 229.1 oils would be appropriate in an OM-617.
