Re: [MBZ] 240D or 300D available?
I've got four 300D W123s. My intention this summer was to buy one and use it to commute to the summer contract. Working seven days per, every time I found a vehicle it got away from me. I wound up getting more aggressive and (long story) wound up with four I bought on "good faith" (gentleman's agreement, word as bond... yada yada) Original intention was to convert one vehicle to a two tank system and burn WVO that I have a sweet deal on. The plan changed and I decided to put the mileage on a Camry which will be out of lease in about a year. It's my mom's car and as she only logs a couple of thousand miles per year, it just made sense to get the mileage out of the lease (32 mpg). As season is over I've just managed to collect the vehicles I bought and start going through each. Ironic, the roughest one with the highest mileage is the one I'm partial to. (1985 300D 322K navy/palamino) My "criteria" on all of the cars was "if the interior looks like you let the dogs chew on it don't tell me how the car is in great shape mechanically!" Chances are if it looks abused it was. Anyway, I listed one of the cars locally only after I asked the indy to go over it thoroughly, new motor mounts, new exhaust, new fuel lines, a/c service, new boots on the rear axle; If I were a car dealer I'd go broke! I got responses from "kids" who had heard one can just pour some old fryer oil in a Benz and never have another care. I refused to sell. I'll probably have to make myself sell a few of the cars to afford a little cosmetic work on the others. If anyone's close to Asheville, NC and APPRECIATES (respects) the W123, you're welcome to look or make an offer.

Re: [MBZ] Just another struggling little German company...
It may very well happen Larry. :-) Another SC. One owner car, Targe, all original with 58,000 miles. Being all original, may be picking your brain on a few updates. Want to use it for daily transport, so looking at a few things, like SSI heat exchangers. Just had a full service and the top rebuilt. I do know the car and drive it from time to time. Goes like the hammers!! More stable on the road at 100 with the top off than a Boxster with the top down. :-) My thinking is, to enjoy dedicated cars, like a 911 sports car, and a benz for real comfort for another 10 years or so. Then, I plan to down size and move more towards a all in one car, like a M5. Four sets, good trunk and an engine to to go out and tickle Ferraris with. ;-) I'll keep you updated Larry.

Re: [MBZ] 240D or 300D available?
David, Pretty much everything works except the cruise is very jerky (not sure why). Electric antenna inop. AC is still R12 and hasn't been charged in 3 years but still blows cold. ACC functions. Pale blue outside, dark blue inside. Tires are good. Inside doesn't look bad when it's swept out. Outside is not pretty, cosmetic rust and it really needs repaint. But a good pro paint job would cost a lot more than the car. This is a car for a DYI person. It was my daily driver until I retired in 2005. Sluggish (only 75 HP) in town but loves to cruise on the freeway. Car was bought and driven in Alabama and Northwest FL until I moved to NC in 2005. I agreed previously to sell back to PO for $1500 (then he died suddenly of a heart attack at age 52) so that price is OK with me.

Re: [MBZ] NICE 240 Manual trans on Ebay
You can see that several things underneath have been painted black, including the muffler and tailpipe, and parts of the floorboard.

Re: [MBZ] 107 fuel system
One or two electric fuel pumps under the car at the rear. Fuel filter is adjacent, as is the pressure accumulator. Fuel pump relay is in the kick panel on the passenger side, I believe, but I don't know which one it is. May be behind the battery in that car like the W126. there is a tank screen as well, but they very rarely plug up on a gasser unless it's been sitting a long time -- stuff doesn't grow in gasoline like it does in diesel fuel. You should find the relay and jumper it to run the pump and see if that cures the problem for a short while. If it does, replace the relay. You should also check the current draw -- a bad pump will roast a relay, and a new one won't last long, either. I would also replace the check valve in the pump, although that usually only ibad when you have a hard start problem.

Re: [MBZ] Porsche scraping along
Na, I read other posts besides my own, I just try to avoid reading yours whenever possible. Defects are largely based on what people bring back and complain about. It's as much to do with owner expectations, as it is about a quality product. Most guys how guy a new S Class are probably going to be a little pickier than a guy who buys a Camry. As for the 993 being a zero defects car, it was far from that. If you think it is, go and buy the best one you can find and live with it for awhile. Blow an engine up a newer porsche, under warranty, and they won't even try to rebuild it, they'll just plug a new one in.. Nothing wrong with a Boxster, I've spend lots of time in them, but many of the parts look like they were supplied by IKEA, and some of the engineering, is just, well, crap! Porsche is making lots of money and stying healthy. Good for them, just means I'll be more likely to be able to get factory parts of my old beaters in the years to come. As for Mercedes, the new S550 also came out with near zero defects. Having said that, most are probably leased for 3-4 years, so if dumping the car in a few years, maybe the driver doesn't look as close as the guy 20 years ago who wrote out the big cheque, and planned to live with the car for 15 years or 400,000 kms does. Lets see what the near zero defect S looks like in 10 years. Ed 300E, and other stuff too.

Re: [MBZ] OT Welding Bicycle CroMoly Frames
Yeah, I drilled through the frame and installed the two stainless plates with fasteners running all the way through. The metal was pretty thin, but I assumed it was the normal thickness. No epoxy involved - didn't think of it. Just hacksawed the plates to size and shape and made the appropriate holes and figured out how to fit the fasteners in there. A couple of them have almost zero clearance. Have to admit that I used some washers as spacers as well. Used a dremel tool to remove sharp edges from the plates. Great to have the bike back in service and for almost no money.

Re: [MBZ] Where Does The Rust Belt End?
Both the Mercedes I bought from the Dallas area have had rust problems. They get so little snow, that I don't know how it happened. There are rusty cars here - we're half way to Wichita, KS.

Yeah, but a buzzer would be a nice backup. Do you keep an eye glued to the oil pressure every second? My '91 VW did not have a pressure gauge, but it had an idiot light AND a very loud, raspy buzzer if you lost pressure while the engine was running. I activated it once or twice banking hard on highway exit ramps, and it was impossible to miss.

Re: [MBZ] OT - 6.2 diesel suburban gotchas
Put a real fuel filter/water separator on it. You can buy the Roosa Master filter pair from a tractor salvage yard. Most John Deere Diesels from 4020 on have them. Most of the problems of the GM diesel stem from water in the fuel/plugged filter. The factory put on an itty bitty filter, not much more than the MB see-thru prefilter, that passes ALL water through to the nozzles, where it ruins them. Side benefits of the Master filters: They are see thru; you can buy replacements lotsa places, including every JD dealer in the country. If you are stranded, you have about a 50/50 chance of the nearest farm having spares; they filter out finer particles than the MB OEM filters.

Re: [MBZ] Mercedes Digest, Vol 24, Issue 74
I do wish my air direction problems had cleared up, but they got worse. Mine went from me being able to trick it part of the time so it would blow into the cabin to full-time windscreen. Seems an expensive repair, also. I suspect much of that is labor, but I can't work with my head lower than my heart [life-long condition] so I don't think I can try that repair. I thought you could get to it by taking out the glove box, but Rusty said no to that one. I've got to replace the AC compressor once more so will wait until Spring when the temperatures make it a necessity. I can survive the Winter with a noisy AC and a cold windshield. The transmission shift problems are related to the vacuum, but it was not right before the vac pump was replaced, so it getting worse after was not a surprise. It is too slow to change gears, and occasionally makes the 2-3 & 3-4 shifts on top of each other. Might need to take that to a Mb transmission place rather than my usual Indy. I trust him completely, but he told me up front he was no expert on MB transmissions. He had cleared up the problems when another shop [out of town engine failure] messed it up, but might not have the experience to do this.

Re: [MBZ] Where Does The Rust Belt End?
I feel for you - I'm from just South of Buffalo NY, where "on quite nights, you can hear a Ford rust". AMC's were even worse, but not much worse in the 70's. There is a strip that runs across the US. The northern boundary is somewhere around the center of Tennessee & extends due East & West and the southern boundary is South, probably 100 miles from the coast.

Re: [MBZ] Repair of leaking door actuator
On my '81 SD I replaced the door lock actuators a few months ago. The German ones that came out were easy to remove, but the Swiss replacements were a bear to get on.

Re: [MBZ] Diesel in the sky
Howdy - When was the old line of Skyhawks discontinued? Whe I was in flight school we had a BBQ on the beach for the school - several people had their own planes (not students) and flew the rest to the beach - my wife & I got into a Cessna210 for a total of 4 people - I was skinny back then but we were still regular sized people - I think the 210 might have been called a Skylane (?) and the way that thing took off almost fully loaded really impressed me - rolled down the r'way and pilot pulled back on the wheel and we went UP. Very impressive to see and feel how much power that plane had. Climbed like a "homesick angel" as they say. It moved to the top of my list of planes I wanted. Along with a 172RG and a 310 twin (getting unrealistic I admit) - Anyway - I haven't looked at Cessna website in a long time - will check out the new Skyhawks - they sound pretty impressive.

Re: [MBZ] OT - 6.2 diesel suburban gotchas
And drank more fuel in accordance. The 6.2 made just shy of 150hp IIRC which as far as I'm concerned is plenty unless I'm working with really heavy loads, I'm not in a hurry. I'd like to transplant one into an S-truck. My '88 S15 had the little 2.8l v6 which made IIRC around 100hp and drove somewhat like a 240D (although it'd chirp the tires in 1st). A bit more power would be nice and I imagine the fuel economy would be good in a light chassis like that. -Curt Date: Wed, 14 Nov 2007 12:19:14 -0600 From: "Donald Snook" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [MBZ] OT - 6.2 diesel suburban gotchas To: "Mercedes Discussion List" Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Phillip wrote: "So what thing do I need to look at or ask about?

Re: [MBZ] Diesel in the sky
Cheaper and more efficient, but less reliable and probably heavier than a turboprop engine.

Re: [MBZ] Diesel in the sky
The Skyhawk TD was selected by Ethiopian Airlines to replace its current training fleet of 10 Cessna 172XPs. Ethiopian Airlines lauded the Skyhawk TD as a more economical aircraft that, along with the standard Garmin G1000 avionics suite, made it the logical choice for the modernization of its fleet. "These aircraft will be used in ab-initio airline training and represent the first fleet of the new Skyhawk TDs ordered by a major airline training school. We feel that the early acceptance of this aircraft in the training market is the beginning of a trend we are confident will continue to spread throughout the world," said Bob Gibbs, Cessna's director of International Propeller Aircraft Sales. Established in 1964, Ethiopian Airlines' Pilot Training School, based in Addis Ababa, is one of the premier training organizations in Africa. Africair, Inc. is the Cessna distributor for 41 countries in Africa and has been selling and supporting the full range of Cessna products in Africa since 1968.

It appears you are trying to do something with Gmail on-line, and there is a lot of crap that is trying to load on your slow cnxn. Load Thunderbird as an email client and do your mail off-line, or with the sending/getting working in the background. Just leave Tbird running, set to get mail when you start it and send it when you send it. Just get your mail off the Gmail server, and send to it, do your reading/replying/creating in Tbird. --R Glenn Brown wrote: > I'm still having problems with gmail, this all started about two weeks > ago when trying to open the okiebenz gmail link gave me the following > warning after about 35 sec.

Re: [MBZ] Porsche scraping along
<> Ed, this is what happens when all you read are your own posts. As I posted some time back, more than twelve years ago Porsche openly hired a Japanese consulting company to come in and redesign the factory (from the "German" way of doing things) to lower costs and raise efficiency. As a result, production cost of the 993 was cut by a third and soon after, the first zero defects car was built in the company's history. And today, Porsche's profit per unit is the highest in the industry, worldwide. Which is also why I bought a new Mercedes instead of a Boxster or Cayman.

[MBZ] OT - 6.2 diesel suburban gotchas
Phillip wrote: "So what thing do I need to look at or ask about? Are there there any wicked or expensive common failure modes?" I don't know that much about these, HOWEVER, when I worked at the dealership we still had a few of these come in from previous days as a GMC truck dealer. The common complaint that I heard about was intake gaskets going bad pretty frequently. I have also heard of IP going bad (but the good thing is they are cheap to get a replacement). GM diesels are not as bad as their reputation especially the newer ones. The GM engine will be very durable if you do things a Mercedes diesel owner does, i.e. be diligent about fuel quality, fuel filter replacement, FREQUENT coolant flushes, and oil change intervals appropriate for the type of oil you are using. I also remember the glow plug relay failing a lot. I think Kaleb has (or had) one of these, so he can probably offer better advice. The 6.5 engine in the later models (starting in 1992 IIRC) was a better engine, produced more power and a turbocharged version was available. Donald H.

Re: [MBZ] Diesel powered planes
They're for it's training school.

Re: [MBZ] top 10 fave.was best benz
More like a TR6 or Miata, or at least mine does. I may be selling it soon, too. Who's interested? It has 282 k miles and some rust, but drives great and the AC blows ICE COLD.

Re: [MBZ] 14" wheel options - 300SD...any?
I asked about this a couple weeks ago regarding snow tires, some said the flat 15" rims off the SEL might conflict on the SD. I measured the flat ones the other day, they had 4 3/4" offset from the inside face of the center to the outer edge of the inner side (what is that, like 120mm?). Where do you measure to get the actual diameter? The largest edge-edge dimension was about 16", the inside-inside dimension was about 15" which I guess is what they are. --R Kaleb C.

That is ingenious! What are the specs on the tire? THANKS!! Chris John Robbins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Christopher McCann wrote: > Do I have anything to chose from other than my bundts?

If you get a lower profile tire you can get within 1-2% of the original tire diameter with 15" wheels. http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html I have 15" wheels instead of bundts on my '79 300SD... looks much better and no change in the speedometer.
