Re: [MBZ] 123 fog lights
When I bought my 78 240D it had the clear lights and I wanted yellow so I bought as pair from the deal at around $40 each - they are Bosch and came with bulbs -- definitely not sealed beam...

I completely sure none of my 123 cars has had sealed beam lights, theres a bulb held in by a little wire clippy. I have a few I can check - but as I have never messed with them I presumed they were sealed beam. They mount and adjust like a sealed beam... So I just took my Yankee screwdriver out at pulled one apart. The one I picked had broken glass, but after opening it up, it clearly uses an H3 lamp. So the reflector and lens seem to be bonded together, but the actual light source (lamp) is a replaceable H3 and thus is _not_ a sealed beam. I'm too lazy to check the others. I'll take a picture when I get home tonight. My '78 240D has clear driving lights my '83 240D had yellow. My wagon had clear but I converted to yellow because I like the look of them. I was going to convert the '78 but Dwight talked me out of it. His CD has one of the yellow ones from my '83 240D. I think the lenses and reflectors on both the clear and yellow are for fog lights. At least all the ones I have here are. I have thought about converting them to driving lights. Thats what sealed beam means right? Where the bulb is sealed into the lens, like the headlight... Yes. Sealed beam means there is no glass envelope around just the filament (like the H3 lamp has). The entire reflector and lens are the envelope which has oxygen removed so the filament won't burn.

Re: [MBZ] '07 R-320CDI
A bad torque converter wouldn't last 100k miles without either locking up the converter or spraying shrapnel. I'd think it was bad clutches, and even that transmission is ONLY an automatic tranny. A new one from MB might cost $5k, but a rebuild most certainly will not. Certainly if it was the converter, that comes off and is separate from the rest of the tranny (unless there is something really weird about it) and can be replaced separately. Dealers no longer have service departments, they just swap in things. Back in the day they would do tranny rebuilds, etc. Should have taken it to a good MB knowledgeable transmission shop. We have one here, did a great job on my brother's SDL tranny for $1500. A lot simpler, but the mechanicals aren't that different, just more of them.

[MBZ] Now you can't get R107 Tumblers
I went to the dealer to order a fresh tumbler for Froggy. We spent a half hour on the EPC trying to figure out what the heck to do . The datac ard does not show for the car, and the parts are not available anymore. There were five tumbler options and they all showed as being substituted to another part that is not available. The next step substituted to having to replace the whole lock system, but that was not able to get ordered and said to purchase a replacement steering column. That is not available. Parts guy plans to call Germany or maybe a Unicorn breeder so he can understand how to resolve the issue. I am thinking the early R107 and the W116 share an ignition lock.

Re: [MBZ] Now you can't get R107 Tumblers
I've had a locksmith successfully rekey a 107 door tumbler, so I don't see why not.

True, but having someone with a merchant account who will run the number for you only requires the card number and expiration date.

Re: [MBZ] Now you can't get R107 Tumblers
Not sure if a locksmith can rebuild it, as new bits would be required to do a proper job. I wonder what would happen if you ground down the ends of the wafers so that the key doesn't have to fit as precisely. You'd lose some theftproofing, but as long as the wafers were good enough to not allow you to turn it with a screwdriver without putting a key in, should be good enough for an old R107 or my old W116.
