Re: [MBZ] Rear quarter window replacement '81 300TD
Never did that particular job but have had the same problem getting a seal into a groove or getting a part into a seal; especially an old, stiff seal. Did you try sliding the well lubricated seal into the groove from one end since it's L shaped? Did you try reversing the procedure and inserting the 45 degree projection first? I keep a handful of the cheapest putty knives of all different widths and use them as sliders to install rubber seals. With a well lubricated seal, I'll have a putty knife on each side while pushing a segment of the seal down in the groove. As the seal seats, I'll keep sliding the putty knives forward until I come to a sharp turn. Then I'll use a very narrow putty knife or even a broad bit screwdriver ground very flat to work it around the turn, or even an ice pick which sometimes works. Sometimes a wide putty knife works where a narrow putty knife doesn't. It sounds like no one on the group has ever done that job or is familiar with the part. Good luck, Gerry One more time, hasn't anybody out there done this job before? 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.

Funny homepage. But some of the things he writes seem not jive with what I've heard elsewhere. For example, he claims that biodiesel actually makes more power than petro-based diesel.

But wait - he has to use that power plus more to drive the alternator that he uses to generate the electricty that he uses to break the water down into hydrogen and oxygen!

Re: [MBZ] Parts Quality
Sometimes price means quality and sometimes not. We move a lot of kegerator parts have discovered that price does not necessarily matter. For example: We used to buy and resell Taprite CO2 regulators. Taprite is the largest regulator manufacturer in the world and they build them all in the USA (Texas). But I found another smaller manufacturer who also builds their regulators in the USA (New Jersey) and the quality is equal. I've disassembled both and have compared them side by side.

Re: [MBZ] Rear quarter window replacement '81 300TD
I had a similar problem with an opening rear quarter window w'strip - worked on it for hours as you mentioned with the same results. Then I had a windshield replaced in another car - talked to the technician - he took the problem parts and within 5 minutes had it together! I looked at the can of silicon he was using - it was a 3M product labelled Silicon Spray - he said there's silicone and then there's *Silicone* - he said WD40 is not pure enough - as is most other sprays. He gave me the can he was using and it lasted a long time. You can also use an oyster knife to work the w'strip into place - the blade is dull so it will not cut the rubber if used with care. I suggest you take the frame, glass and w'strip to a glass shop and ask if they will fix it for you - or perhaps they will give or sell a can of spray silicone.

Thanks for the tip, it's good to know that not all silicone sprays are created equal. It explains why some silicone sprays dissolve plastics. WD40 is mostly kerosene, I don't think it has any silicone in it, but I could be wrong. IIRC, the penetrant in WD40 is DMSO.

Re: [MBZ] 2.5 turbo IP
Yea, I had it a 15 ATDC. How do I check to see if the timer is set properly? This is my first outing with a IP deal. Peter Frederick wrote: 15 ATDC, not BTDC. The actual injection starts at 24 or 26 BTDC, just like the older injection pumps, but the nipple on the governor drive were the locking tool fits lines up with the tool at 15 ATDC. Make sure the pump is NOT 180 degrees out -- they will actually run that way (fuel sprayed in at TDC on the intake stroke), but not very well, lots of noise and smoke with very little power. Sorta like serious spark knock, as it ignites too early. This is a known problem on older pumps, for a period the markings on the spline were off backwards on some pumps. Should only lock properly at one position, but I suspect you can screw the tool in and hold it on the back side of the governor drive, too (no nipple but pressure will hold it). Otherwise, check to make sure the pump fit in corectly and that the injection timer is set properly.

Re: [MBZ] Diesel/gas prices
I have no idea what gasoline and diesel fuel prices are in China and India. In Europe, they are roughly double what we pay here, the difference largely being due to taxes. Some oil producing countries (Venezuela, Middle East countries) sell at artificially low prices domestically because the government owns the production and it makes the citizens happy.

Re: [MBZ] Diesel/gas prices
The impact China and India have on the price of oil is their rapidly growing manufacturing base, which is growing to support US. As far as gas prices are concerned, convince our Government to stop taxing and start subsidising gas and we too can have lower gas prices rotten roads an even worse deficate than we have now. In other words, gas prices in these countries are being held lower than actual production cost to help them grow even faster.

[MBZ] John Robbins no longer owns the fastest 2.5 turbo I have seen
At the IowaQ, I noticed that John Robbins 2.5 was quicker than any other 2.5 I have driven. Well, after getting the rebuilt IP back in my 92, I can say mine is faster than his, or so it seems. Yesterday I got it running but not good. Today, I just adjusted the ip a little till it smoothed out and sounded right. Runs fine. Dont know if its exact on spot, but it seems fine to me. Everything is working as it should now. Im thinking maybe the rebuilder turned up the IP just a hair. -- Kaleb C.

Re: [MBZ] Diesel/gas prices
These days, a 42 gallon barrel of crude is about $95. I'm stunned that I can still buy gas at the pump, taxes and all, for less than $3.20. (but diesel is over $3.50, and kerosene is more than that) When gas hit $3.20 in the summer of '06, I believe crude was a bit under $80.

Re: [MBZ] Diesel/gas prices
Pump prices are somewhat independent of crude prices (there are other factors, such as the upcoming demand for home heating oil that will push diesel up quite a bit this winter) and low demand due to the end of the summer driving season. That notwithstanding, pump prices will lag from 30 to 60 days changes in crude prices, since the crude is paid for essentially when it leaves the ground, and it takes a month or two for it to arrive at the refinery, get refined, then shipped to the service station. Prices will go up some more, $3.50 or so for regular is my purely seat of the pants estimate, near $4 for diesel in the cold months.

Re: [MBZ] Diesel/gas prices
i'm of the opinion that this is going to end up being a disaster, starting with regular people who now have to pay $400 a month to heat their home that they bought and can't afford and another $400 a month to drive their car that they can't afford either. i'm not gonna light my furnace till december if at all. i'm working from home. i've stopped using the washer and dryer. i'm buying just about everything via mail order. i'm looking into climate proof housing out of recycled materials. i'll probably join the recycled fuel crowd as well before long.

The last three miles is the steepest state maintained road in the state. It's a difficult climb on most vehicles to 4,500 ft. and just as difficult on the brakes descending. I had lots of faith in the ole 300D. Even with a/c running it tools right along climbing the grade. Temp gauge stays in a good range even though low gear and low spped negotiating hairpin curves. The motor and trans holds back on the descent unlike others who are replacing brake pads every month. Anyway, a perk is that I agreed to accept the WVO from the park (a favor to the company considering the remote location). The used soy oil is good quality. The food service pre-filters it while warm and replaces it into the 35# containers. Eight containers I haul off each week equals just about 40 ga. Intention was to alter one of the cars with a two tank system. I decided instead to build a processor at home and remove the glycerin. (Was planning to build an Appleseed processor as I'd planned to replace the hot water heater at home anyway.) Lye was no problem as another hobby is I make my own soap. I order sodium hydroxide by the case anyway. Thing was, I started looking into the cost of methanol and the thought of having a 55 ga. drum of it sitting in the garage. Solution? I shared samples of some of my homemade lye soap with management and they suggested I produce it for the mercantile outlets. It's win win. Though the price of diesel has climbed from $2.899 to $3.409 in the past months, a gallon of the WVO yields about 30 bars of soap each netting the cost of a gallon of fuel.

Re: [MBZ] Bosch Nozzles
Had the nozzles tested at local Bosch Diesel shop and they seem to think spray is OK. Fitted them and combustion noise ( the diesel sound ) seems a lot noisier ? Seems like you can't get German nozzles here , will look out for Bosio Peter -Original Message- From: Peter Merle Sent: 09 November 2007 10:32 To: Mercedes Discussion List Subject: [MBZ] Bosch Nozzles Whent to my local Mercedes Dealer and bought new nozzles DNSOD-265 for the W124 300D ( non turbo ) and these to my horror are made in India. Upon opening the sealed capsule they came in I see under magnification that its covered in dirt and visible machining marks. Spray is also poor as is opening pressure which has dropped 1500 kpa. Then phoned the local Bosch dealer and they also only sell the Indian version. Can one still get 265's made in Europe?

Re: [MBZ] What was the last real Mercedes?
Dimitri As the owner of 2 G's I under stand your sentiment, however the current G's ( G55 etc cannot really be called a G , with all that electronics etc you will too scared to venter into Africa as the originals G's do so well. Furthur the car newer started as a Mercdedes ( Was a joint venture with Steyr-puch ) so its pedigree is somewhat not pure.

Re: [MBZ] What was the last real Mercedes?
I also have both 123 and 124 diesels and although the 124 is fancier and more smooth I actually prefer the 123. There is a lot more plastic in the 124 - see for instance the fuel line clips and parts are not made as well eg fuel lines are much thinner and more finiky. Complexity is a lot higher in w124 with electric cooloant pump, electronc idel speed , electroic climate control etc etc Peter -Original Message- From: LarryT [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 11 November 2007 02:09 To: Mercedes Discussion List Subject: Re: [MBZ] What was the last real Mercedes? When this thread started my 1st response, without giving it any thought at all, was the W108 is all it's variants - incl the 109 and 111. Especially the late production 280SEL with the 6 cyl FI engine although the 4.5 V8 is very high on the list. Then, I started thinking about my 123 and 124 (I've been lucky enough to have one of each) - both are amazing cars with few quality problems. Not many -- Of course, we're comparing gas to diesels - I'd like to try a new S class - as T Hargrave suggested - I'll bet it's awesome. But I wouldn't want to have to pay for its maintanence after it's 5 or 10 years old - which is my yardstick for labelling something Great in terms of something I might buy. As for as everyone complaining whenever a new model comes out - I think that behaviour is universal - When the Porsche 911 was introduced in 1963 the 356 group said they were Real Porsches, same thing happened again and agin as new series were introduced. And when, God,forbid, a front engine potential 911 replacement should come out, stand back and watch the arrows fly. IMHO, MB is growing with the industry - changing to stay competitive. Again - Watching old video of the Porsche assy lines in the 50s compared to the lines of today and the so-called Hand Built Porsches are called such with a wink. Sure, they are more Hands-On that your typical CHevy but new ones could never be called Hand-Built in the tradition of the 356s. As someone once said, It's all relative.
