Do you have any recent photos of this car? No. Just the one photo on the website, but it's starting to look a bit tattier than that, the salt they now use around here is really taking its toll.

Re: [MBZ] M103 oil filter and OM602 alternator
You can get the filter off by hand, no special tools needed. It looks tight in there, but enough room to work. As you know, you don't need to over do it when tightening the new one. If the last guy over tightened it, something like a rubber glove might give you the extra needed grip. I always use factory filters. Not much more and worth the added insurance. Always a good excuse to window shop at the dealer too. ;-) And they always put the new filter in a nice Mercedes bag, which makes me feel special. hee hee Ed 300E 2010/1/17 OK Don > I decided that it's time to change the oil in the 300E - therfore the > filter > needs to be changed at the same time ( first time for me on this car).

Re: [MBZ] M103 oil filter and OM602 alternator
I think I took the old one out by hand or with channel locks. I can't remember. I know I never had any special tool. The new one can be turned on tight enough by hand. I have a couple of new oil filters left over from the M102. I will make you or lt don a deal in spring. I decided that it's time to change the oil in the 300E - therfore the filter needs to be changed at the same time ( first time for me on this car). I found the oil filter - in approximately the same location it is on the OM60x engines. However, it's a small diameter screw-on filter, almost under the massive air filter. How do you get the oil filter off? I'm thinking of making a right-angle drive belt wrench from an old deep socket slotted for a piece of leather belt so I can use a ratchet and extension to turn it. The alternator died in the '92 300D, so I decided it was time to install the 115 amp alternator I bought from a previous list member a while ago. I had to splice in ring connectors instead of using the plug - hard to reach and solder heavy wire from under the car, but do-able (done). My daughter took the car into the far end of OKC today (30 miles) - calls me this evening saying the car is dead, come get me. I found the car with the belt shreaded, only one strip about a 1/4 inch wide still in place, the rest wrapped between the fan clutch and the water pump pulley. All the pulleys seem to turn freely, but the one on the alternator wobbles 20 to 30 degrees. I can't tell yet whether the nut on the shaft is loose, ro the alternator bearings are gone. I'll have to find an alternator and replace it in the parking lot (Macaroni Grill) - hopefully tomorrow.

Re: [MBZ] Frankenheap weldery
Well now that the entire trunk floor is out I have a nice view of the differential and rear axle shafts. The right side boot is torn and I'm sure that the sandblasting that I did way back when didn't help matters since sand probably found it's way into the torn boot. I figure it needs a new shaft. This job should be made much easier now that I can access the axleshaft from top and bottom! But is this job easy? What is involved? I read the BBB but it isn't that straightforward.

[MBZ] M103 oil filter and OM602 alternator
I decided that it's time to change the oil in the 300E - therfore the filter needs to be changed at the same time ( first time for me on this car). I found the oil filter - in approximately the same location it is on the OM60x engines. However, it's a small diameter screw-on filter, almost under the massive air filter. How do you get the oil filter off? I'm thinking of making a right-angle drive belt wrench from an old deep socket slotted for a piece of leather belt so I can use a ratchet and extension to turn it. The alternator died in the '92 300D, so I decided it was time to install the 115 amp alternator I bought from a previous list member a while ago. I had to splice in ring connectors instead of using the plug - hard to reach and solder heavy wire from under the car, but do-able (done). My daughter took the car into the far end of OKC today (30 miles) - calls me this evening saying the car is dead, come get me. I found the car with the belt shreaded, only one strip about a 1/4 inch wide still in place, the rest wrapped between the fan clutch and the water pump pulley. All the pulleys seem to turn freely, but the one on the alternator wobbles 20 to 30 degrees. I can't tell yet whether the nut on the shaft is loose, ro the alternator bearings are gone. I'll have to find an alternator and replace it in the parking lot (Macaroni Grill) - hopefully tomorrow. I guess this is waht happens when you install a used alternator instead of buying a Bosch re-built unit. I don't need those extra amps as bad as I thought I did!

Re: [MBZ] Frankenheap weldery
I stopped by a muffler shop Friday and nabbed some cut-offs. (2-3 inch pieces of new pipe.) I also bought more flux-core welding wire for the Hobart. Ten pounds this time, $55 for the 0.035". I'd lost a rubber exhaust hanger with the muffler Thursday. As I was at the U-Pull I got a couple more, along with a rather nice trunk mat and carpet from a 114 gasser. Saturday it rained heavily all day, so I had to wait 'til today to fix the muffler. I put the rear of the car up on ramps and selected the best piece from my scrap exhaust collection to collar the break. I glued the dislodged rubber bumper (114 987 00 39, aka 479076-28) back to the frame, as the rubber 'tit' had torn half off. (Shoe Goo, of course.) I had to notch the new collar in order to get the best fit to the ratty tailpipe, and its prior welds. I didn't need to remove the exhaust system, lowering the back was sufficient. The new collar was somewhat larger than the exhaust pipe, so I welded a strip onto the pipe remains so that I could then weld the collar to that strip. I welded the new collar onto the muffler, then welded the collar to the exhaust pipe. I had to grind and re-weld a number of times in spots to cure exhaust leaks. I found another hole in the exhaust pipe and had to weld a patch over that. That took nearly as long to do as the muffler, because it was much less accessible. The whole job was something like three and a half hours. (The off-the-car part was _so_ easy, but underneath the car, not so much.) The muffler ended up a bit cocked so that the rubber hangers and bumpers don't fit as well as they did. Oops. I broke a rubber hanger, but I got two Friday so I was still OK. Of note is that the Hobart wire was much shinier and smoother than the cheap Harbor Freight stuff, and seemed to work better. It was a bit too large for the job (the old stuff was 0.030"), but surprisingly it fit through the gun's 0.030" tip. (I should get the correct tip, which Big R carries. I also will need some more 0.024" bare wire for the Miller, I noticed it was getting low when I tried to borrow its 0.030" tip [which doesn't fit].) -- Jim ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

[MBZ] OT: Muffler design?
Anybody know anything about muffler design? I've got an old snowmobile that the muffler is NLA and a strange enough design that nothing else will work right. I bought a muffler from a Cub Cadet tractor and its okay but still too loud. It looks like that "muffler" is just a can with a tube that has holes punched all around it inside. I *think* quiet mufflers generally have some kind of fiberglass packing inside. I've got to cut this muffler anyway since its too long, I was thinking that since I had to have it open I'd stuff some fiberglass in (either the pink stuff or some mat) around the outside and see if that helped any. I don't think it could make it any worse... I've also thought about welding in more baffles but theres not that much space, its about the size of a coffee can. -Curt ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

Curt: Angina is a result of blood flow deficiency to the heart due to constricted arteries. Low oxygen will give the same results -- maybe you have a breathing problem! I have gotten much too large around the middle, and have problems breathing if I'm bent over, and intestinal gas GREATLY increases the effect. If your upper abdomen sounds hollow if you slap it, you have too much gas inside, and this will give you all sorts of intestinal and breathing problems (that is, your diaphragm cannot pull down, greatly decreases lung capacity). Do check with the gut doctor, but ask about lung problems too.

Re: [MBZ] Gut problems
Sure and I'm not concerned about that, we did a stress test that came back negative, great. Then he put me on naproxin which aggravated my gut which led to Protonix which made an improvement and Prilosec which got more improvement and finally Prevacid which is not as good for me. The thing is at this point I don't want to revisit my heart I want to figure out the problem in my gut. All the diagnosis at this point leads to my gut and not my heart... We've been at this 3 months now which is annoying me. I pay extra to get the better level of insurance (POS vs HMO) and now I want to use it. My better level of insurance gives me better access to specialists and now I want a specialist. No ER doc BTW, I had these twinges occasionally for a month before I saw my regular guy. At first it was basically nothing a very slight soreness in my left arm only when I was working really hard. Then it got more painful and more common and I figured I needed it checked out. Having seen how excited everybody got when I explained it I'll know not to wait if I have a heart attack, the problem now is how do I tell the difference between this and a heart attack?

The doctor had no choice but to work up the chest pain. Chest pain = EKG period. A good doctor first rules out what will imminently kill you.

Re: [MBZ] now here is a chinese product i can happily endorse!
Curt: Assume you are totally lactose intolerant and cut out all lactose containing substances. I've personally come to the conclusion that acid reflux isn't an acid production problem, per se, but a gastric propulsion problem (vapor lock, sort of) as a result of improper fermentation of gut contents. Easy to acquire a set of gut bacteria that cheerfully ferment complex sugars into lots of gas, very fast. This won't move with normal gut activity, and so stomach contractions push the contents up the esophagus instead of down the small intestine. Acid reducers help by suppressing the fermentation via higher pH in the intestines, but the real cause is the fermentation. Gas-X helps a lot, since it breaks up the foam from the intestinal gas, so does avoiding un-fermented milk products of any kind. This includes commercial bread products and ANYTHING with milk in it (read labels). Anything with lactose added is bad, too, and it's quite common and not always labeled completely. In my case, eating less also helps, if I can stick to it.

[MBZ] Free Parts/Labor Guides For older MBs
Hi all - I have part of a Mitchell Manual - used in shops to determine how many hours of labor can be charged for different jobs. Most of the manual was sold/given away a few years ago but the MB part is still here. It's free to anyone waning it for the shipping cost. It covers early 60s to 68 and in addition to labor times it also has tech info for some models - timing setting, location of chassis #, spark plug info, for models W108, 109, 110, 111, 112 & 113. Sec 2 covers 68-72 models W107, 108, 109,111, 114 & 115. The last section covers 73-up (it was publish in 77 so it stops there) with similar info for W114, 115, 116, 107.It also contains parts diagrams of the different jobs covered. 54 pages with 4 divider pages. $5 will cover shipping. 1st to reply gets them.

Re: [MBZ] now here is a chinese product i can happily endorse!
i don't drink any kind of fancy drink. i maybe add a little lemon or lime to my tea, but otherwise nothing. no sweetener. no milk. nothing. i'll drink it hot in small doses, but large quantities are always consumed over ice. this is just my own trip though, some "manly virtues" kind of nonsense i got stuck on years ago. i once read something about how people who slept on beds were "soft" so i slept on the floor for 5 years. when i was young and i would travel, i'd never stay at a "decent" hotel or motel, not even something like a red roof or super eight. too fancy! i'd seek out some ridiculous flop house that the salvation army wouldn't even consider using. i thought the greatest place i ever stayed was the pioneer hotel in cheyenne. loaded with drunken and derelict cowboys and indians. it just screamed personality. as a yahoo reviewer writes: The Pioneer Hotel is a filthy, halfway house; full of cockroaches and yes, it's unrenovated. This means the halls smell of urine, the shared bathroom on each floor remains uncleaned and the wall-paper and plaster are falling away from the walls and ceiling. Do yourself a favor, stay anywhere in town but here. No matter how cheap it is, it isn't worth it. today i am mostly ruined when it comes to lodging. i think those fancy beds and pillows they have at the courtyard are to die for. doubletree also has something similar. my pioneer hotel days are surely behind me and i sleep in bed, but i still retain taking my coffee or tea black with no sweetener.

this is really of interest to me. it's not about it being "the best" tea in the world, just like it wasn't about yeungling competing with belgium's finest handmades . if it's as good as a major indian or english, i'd gladly make the switch to the charleston tea. hitherto, your major american tea brands just struck me as weak and flavorless. if i could have found a USA supermarket cheap tea i liked as much as the foreign brands, i'd have used that instead.

Re: [MBZ] 1996 Mercedes Diesel LOW MILES - $8900
That's an early W210. All of the 210's have, or will have rust issues (such as bubbles popping in the middle of panels, nowhere near a chip or scratch). Beware the front spring perches (which have rusted off!), the blower motor regulator (the redesigned one requires a redesigned blower motor, but I hear you can modify a W140 one to work...), the evaporator, which is known to rot out, and the glow plugs (which are known to snap off in the head). That said, I have a pair of 99's (his und hers...), and they are nice... they already have the redesigned blower and a newer design evaporator (but not the latest design)... 98 and up are turbo/ intercooled (they are all 4 valve/cylinder DOHC, which necessitates the long snappish glow plugs...)

I picked up the tea habit when I was in Taiwan on a business trip in '86 or thereabouts. The one female engineer (rather cute!) in the office took me to a high-end tea supply shop where I got a lesson on oolongs, which I found I liked. Complete with instructions on how to prepare it and taste it. Tea there is somewhat like wine here, many people know and appreciate the subtleties of where/when it was grown. The proprietor spoke no English, and was sorting the dried leaves when we got there. Yen-yue said his shop was the first stop on the chain of supply, and that his rejects went on down to lesser suppliers, the crumbs eventually ending up in tea bags. I use Bigelow oolong, which these days we have to mail-order. Stores have stopped carrying it in favor of various rind and floor-crumb additives du jour. (Persimmon/clove, or apple core/asafoetida, that sort of thing. I think they might still carry one actual tea, I'm not sure.) The Bigelow was the best of the bagged stuff (crumby rejects!) I found, probably because the pouch is foil-lined. That's my treat on weekends. At work I use one Lipton bag a day dropped into my cup, and I never take it out. (When sombody brings in a box of Tetley's I use that instead. Also I've used Red Rose, pretty much any plain tea will do.) The first cup or two are good and strong, then it gets progressively weaker through the day. Also more nasty-tasting as the other oils leach out. The cup sits on a cupwarmer, and most of the day you could say that I'm only drinking slightly flavored hot water. At some point I just stop 'cause it's icky, but that depends on how thirsty I am. It doesn't really get icky until you've stopped the drinking and refilling, and have let it sit for awhile. This one-bag rule controls the caffeine intake. "I'd like tea, please." ...picking through the offered tray... "Umm, do you have any actual _tea_?" Often at these places I end up with Lipton. -- Jim ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
Re: [MBZ] now here is a chinese product i can happily endorse!
LOL I have a tin of that (twinings,loose) sitting on my desk in my cube at work, next to my old Krups Novo compact... My home machine isn't much newer; a Rancilio Audrey (upgraded with a commercial portafilter) For tea I either drink that, roobios, or chamomile (great for GI woes...) For espresso, these days it's either LaVazza Dek or Qualita Oro... I feel like I need to "sneak" my shots of espresso when I am home so that my son won't mooch them! -- John W Reames jwrea...@comcast.net Home: +14106646986 Mobile: +14437915905 On Jan 17, 2010, at 11:31, andrew strasfogel wrote: Nothing like the smoky camel dung flavor of lapsong suchong...

I prefer a strong brew with very little of anything, just a hint of sugar/milk. I have a habbit of droping 2 teabags in an empty water bottle, filling, and cold brewing it in the fridge overnight before classes. Gives a nice switch from my usual mountain dew diet, and is a fair bit less expensive. I also never remove a teabag from my cup, I guess I picked that up from my grandmother. She actually uses a coffeepot without a filter to heat the water, and has the tea bags in the carafe. Iirc Mr Coffe had something similar they called the Mrs Tea.

Re: [MBZ] OT: now here is a chinese product i can happily endorse!
Being so close to the Canucks, here in Seattle, we just mosey on up and visit Murchie's Tea Room. Vast walls and floor space jammed with teas of all shades and flavors. Don't drink enough of the stuff to make it worth hauling home, since it ages and loses the brightness of flavour I prefer in my cup. So, just have it as a treat in Canuckland. They have worldwide shipping and web presence. http://www.murchies.com/ clay On Jan 17, 2010, at 7:53 AM, Peter Frederick wrote: Proper tea in the UK and American markets disappeared when TV started running a couple short ads every half hour, and in the UK, when there was a few minute gap between shows (as they don't have ads like we do). You can make a cup of crappy tea-bag tea in a couple minutes (boiling water on the bag, swish around a bit, toss bag, sip tea) while making proper tea in a pot takes too long to get back to the TV in time. Rolled tea had completely vanished in the UK for a while -- don't know if that is still true, but hopefully the internet has done for tea what it has done for coffee, allowed small operations to sell nationally or internationally -- and it was very scarce in the US. We have always used "gunpowder" green tea in iced tea in the summer, and while it used to be quite common, has almost vanished. Tea bag tea is crumbs, as noted, or worse, low grade tea chopped. Mostly twigs and veins, quite nasty. It has to chopped, as the leaves cannot expand and unroll, certainly not in the minute or so most people leave the bag in the water. Proper tea gets a quick wash with boiling water to remove the bitterness and then a five minute or so steep, quite different (and much stronger flavor) than the cardboard in paper tea bags. I prefer red teas myself (Irish Breakfast or Assam is the usual labeling here) rather than blacks, and greens are always good if somewhat less "tea" like for americans. I've been on a coffee kick for the last few years since I found a supply of green coffee beans to roast at home. Vastly better than store bought unless the store is roasting in site. I need to get a supply of good tea. I have to look on eBay and search the 'net, as I'm sure there are suppliers of good grade tea at reasonable prices somewhere. I have no trouble buying internationally via PayPal (I get lots of watches and fountain pens this way) from reliable sellers.
