Re: [MBZ] How much would you pay for this 240D?

[Jim Cathey via Mercedes]

"A/C does not work may only need freon


Could be anything.


Blower motor doesn't work


Easy to replace on 123, you just need one.


Dashlights doesn't work


Dimmer blown.  Bypass, they're too dim anyway.


Odometer doesn't work


Gear.


Everything above could be a simple electrical fix"


But isn't.  Some of them _might_ be.

None that would save time. The only way I have been able to trouble shoot 
computer hardware is by replacing components  one at a time‎ until I find the 
culprit. I had a flaky video card one time. It had very similar symptoms to 
what you describe. Ditto on RAM. It can be a tedious process, but I personally 
know of no other way. Perhaps someone else does.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Replacing a disk on a Windows system

[clay via Mercedes]

I can get no joy from installs of Winblows.  I have the magic tags, the codes, 
the OE install disks and the rejuvenated Dell computers, but the things just do 
not work.  Oh, it installs, but will not register of verify properly.   On the 
macs that come to me with winblose, I just pull the drive and put a larger, new 
drive with no M$ trash

[MBZ] Stupid Computers, Take 2

[Craig via Mercedes]

I asked earlier about putting Win7 on another disk because Shirley
dropped a glass jar of coffee on our Dell 600m laptop and damaged the
screen. I thought I had another Dell 600m, but I cannot find it.

Now, I'm fighting with trying to load and update CentOS 5 Linux on a
desktop I want to use as an X terminal.

I knew the disk in the desktop was flakey, so I put in that computer the
disk on which I had attempted to get CentOS 7 running (A Western Digital
RE4) and installed a limited set of CentOS 5 files.

The install went OK, but when I went to update the software (which put a
lot more stress on the system), the computer locked up.

I recalled several times in working on CentOS 7 (with that disk in
another computer) when the computer locked up, so I thought the disk
might be the problem.

I generated a DOS bootable USB stick with the Western Digital diagnostics
on it and did a full test. The disk passed.

I then installed Win 7, which worked OK.

I rebooted the USB stick and wrote zeroes to the entire disk. I then
removed the disk and installed another new, old-stock WD RE4. I decided
to install a fairly complete set of CentOS 5. That install locked up
about 1/3 of the way through.

I recalled in years past thinking that that processor might be flakey, so
I downloaded cpuburn-in (http://cpuburnin.com/). A ten-minute run raised
the processor temperature to 42 deg.C, but had no errors. I'm now in the
midst of a 30-minute run.

I could run memtest86+ to check the RAM, but I don't know if that would
show anything.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

I'm getting really tired of spending time on this computer -- I have a
lot of other things to do.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Replacing a disk on a Windows system

[rogerhga--- via Mercedes]

Well, I loaded a copy of Win7 64bit Pro on two desktops and a laptop. Each one 
called home to register themselves. Months later, I loaded Win10 64 bit Pro on 
the two desktops and the laptop required 32 bit. But, each one called home and 
registered themselves with no problems. If you have a valid serial number, I 
don't think the MS registration software cares that much. And I've moved the OS 
between PCs with no problems at all. 
Am I missing something here? I'm "sure" a Mac would be easier :-))) But some of 
us are just stuck in our ways and stay with MS. Just some personal 
perspectives.

THey should let you use the OS on another machine (even new) if it is

If it's just a new disk you should be able to use the serial # from the
sticker. If this can't be done automatically you can phone M$ and they can
authorize. I think that if the new laptop is the same model it can be 
called

an upgrade or repair. I doubt they will authorize the OS to a completely
different laptop.

Re: [MBZ] How much would you pay for this 240D?

A/C: could be as simple as a fuse or a fresh charge of Freon, could be 
far more. You'd need a PPI from a competent Mercedes-Benz diesel 
mechanic (note that all four qualifications are required to produce a 
valid PPI).

Assume bad compressor  $1000.  Send it out.


Blower motor: could be fuse, brushes, or totally dead motor. I've 
never touched a 123.123 blower motor, but I think they are easier than 
a 124.

$150 if you do it, $450 if you send it out.  (Assume it needs a motor)


Dash lights: probably a bad contract in the rheostat. Easy fix, if 
you're handy with contact cleaner and/or a soldering iron. Worst case: 
need a replacement instrument cluster housing.
An hour with a HF soldering iron, flux and solder.  You will need a 2" 
wire out of an ethernet cable, or similar 20 to 24 ga wire.


Odometer: likely a slipping gear, could be a gear has disintegrated. 
Worst case you send the speedometer out for repair and calibration.
If you do it, an hour and a file and some epoxy.  If you send out the 
head, an hour and $300


Worst case, $1750 in expenses to fix those 4 things.  If the suspension 
and drive train are good, when you get done you will have a $3000 car.  
$1250 is still my top offer,  If the guy wants to fix all the neglected 
things, then it may be worth his price.  If the guy could somehow prove 
the AC compressor is new, then it is worth more.

I can't imagine "a simple electrical fix" that would solve all the 
listed problems.


"A/C does not work may only need freon
Blower motor doesn't work
Dashlights doesn't work
Odometer doesn't work
Everything above could be a simple electrical fix"

I wonder how long the odometer has not been working. 160,000 miles is 
nothing. It is very nice looking. Is that black or a really dark blue?


I had to have the blower motor replaced on my 124 diesel and it was 
kind of a bear. Is the blower motor as bad on these. I am actually 
interested in this car if it is not a money pit.

Re: [MBZ] rusty 240D 4spd $5k

[Meade Dillon via Mercedes]

I know that car!  That was the kid who had a dead glow plug relay last
fall.  It really is in very nice condition EXCEPT for all that damn rust.
It must be tough for him to sell it, I hope he gets a good price.  He
really loves that thing, rust and all.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Replacing a disk on a Windows system

[Greg Fiorentino via Mercedes]

If it's just a new disk you should be able to use the serial # from the
sticker. If this can't be done automatically you can phone M$ and they can
authorize. I think that if the new laptop is the same model it can be called
an upgrade or repair. I doubt they will authorize the OS to a completely
different laptop.

You have to call MSFT with the code or something and then go through

but I remember it was fairly straightforward, but that was with XP so 
who knows how it works now.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Time for Rich/Joel to cash in?

[Curley McLain via Mercedes]

THe price of housing has not changed that much in 25 years.  It took a 
HGE jump in 1988.   That is why in 1988 the average income was 
$10,000 but the average household income was about $35,000.  3.5 working 
people avg., per household.  Ohana housing.


The difference is the the -ists in 1988, wanted them.  Now the bums they 
imported have overwhelmed the gimme system, and threatens the golden 
goose.  So, now they want them gone.  Only took them 28 years to figger 
that out!



Randy Bennell via Mercedes

They are worried about their image. Concerned about scaring away the 
tourists.
They do have people that try to get the homeless into shelters etc but 
many of them have issues like drug addiction and do not want to be 
helped.
The current solution is to run them out  of Waikiki so that the 
tourists won't see them sprawled on the sidewalks.
That, of course, is pushing them into other areas where the locals are 
not any happier to see them.


Part of the problem is the outrageous price of housing in Hawaii. The 
working poor are being driven out.

*4. Charleston, South Carolina *

White millennials have flocked to Charleston, South Carolina, drawn by the
boom in the city's tech sector and its high salaries. So many, in fact,
that Charleston has, for the first time in six decades, become a
majority-white city. Unsurprisingly, the real estate developers have
followed. With the influx of tech workers, along with students from the
College of Charleston, downtown Charleston has seen median rent prices go
up more than much larger cities. A one-bedroom can cost $1600, higher than
in Atlanta or Chicago. House prices have doubled in the past few years, up
more than $50,000 just in the past year. And like other cities struggling
with gentrification, the non-white population has suffered the most. In
some Charleston neighborhoods, nearly half of the African-American
residents have left, as even in areas riddled by higher crime rates,
four-bedroom apartments are renting for up to $3000 a month, with students
snatching them up. Meanwhile, struggling families, many working in
low-paying food or hospitality services and forced to depend on federal
help for housing costs, are limited to section-8 housing voucher maximums
of just $1026 for a three-bedroom. As longtime Charleston resident King
Grant-Davis told the Charleston City Paper, "Gentrification in itself may
not be bad, but the part of pricing racial or ethnic groups out, making
accommodations too expensive for them because of their economic status,
that's bad."

I would definitely NOT drive it like it is – especially with no a/c.  But, I’m 
wondering what it would take to fix all those issues.  I agree $3K is way too 
high.  But, if those things were fixed and it really was in excellent 
condition, it could be a great purchase.   I am assuming the desireability of 
these is higher with a manual shift?  Right?

Any vagabond in LA could get a $99 ticket and the city would welcome 
them back then.  Maybe the Peoples marxist republlik of Hawaii is 
finally coming to their senses.

Check out Honolulu. They have declared war on the homeless.

They are worried about their image. Concerned about scaring away the 
tourists.
They do have people that try to get the homeless into shelters etc but 
many of them have issues like drug addiction and do not want to be helped.
The current solution is to run them out  of Waikiki so that the tourists 
won't see them sprawled on the sidewalks.
That, of course, is pushing them into other areas where the locals are 
not any happier to see them.


Part of the problem is the outrageous price of housing in Hawaii. The 
working poor are being driven out.

I wonder how long the odometer has not been working.  160,000 miles is nothing. 
 It is very nice looking.  Is that black or a really dark blue?

I had to have the blower motor replaced on my 124 diesel and it was kind of a

car if it is not a money pit.

The list speaks of neglect.  How can you drive a car with all those little
annoying problems?  Cumulatively they comprise motoring misery.

I can't imagine "a simple electrical fix" that would solve all the listed 
problems. 

"A/C does not work may only need freon
Blower motor doesn't work
