Thanks everybody. For some reason I was thinking this phenomenon was unique
to w123 cars. Now I see the problem was far more widespread. Perhaps I did
come up the works, as the car really does not have enough miles on it to
either wear the original key significantly or one would think to cause the
ignition tumbler to fail. I will try one of the factory keys I had made and
if that doesn't work get out the sander and some kind of graphite versus

Have not found the exact location on a map, but it is near Pahoa.  The 
pool at the Puu o'o  vent sunk, filling underground tubes, and this 
resulted in a breakout in the Leilani Village area.  Apparently Madame 
Pele is not happy with the pakalolo growers union in the Pahoa area 
(Puna district).On a Star Trek theme on StarWars "May the Forth be 
with you" day,   Harry Kim, the former CD coordinator for Hawaii county

life namesake and inspiration for the Harry Kim character on Star Trek.

Pu'u o'o is the longest eruption in the recorded history if Kilauea.  It 
started with a spectacular fountain on Jan 3, 1983, and we were there to 
see it.   People ran around where we were staying in Puna to tell 
everyone about it, so we drove up to the highway junction and watched 
the fountain.


https://www.soest.hawaii.edu/GG/HCV/puuoo_history.html

"January 3, 2018 marked the 35st anniversary of the Pu`u `O`o eruption 
on the east rift zone of Kilauea Volcano. It has the distinction of 
being the longest-lived historical rift zone eruption at Kilauea. It is 
also the most voluminous (>3 km^3 ) and one of the most compositionally 
variable (5.7-10.1 wt% MgO) in the Kilauea historic record.


This on-going eruption has had many different phases and types of 
activity over it's long life and continuous to amaze with its 
persistence. It has produced a broad field of lava flows that have 
buried over 120 sq km of the volcano's south flank and poured into the 
Pacific Ocean, adding more than 230 hectares of new land to the island. 
In 2014 it sent lavas far to the NE, a first for the eruption, extending 
sme 20 km to the outskirts of the town of Pahoa.
   Lavas from this eruption have unfortunately destroyed several 
communities and numerous man-made structures along the south coast of 
the Big Island of Hawaii, including 189 houses, a National Park Service 
Visitor Center at Waha`ula, a church, a store, the Waha'ula Heiau (a 700 
year old Hawaiian place of worship), and many other ancient Hawaiian 
sites. The coastal highway in this part of the Big Island has been 
closed for 13 years, as flows covered 14 km of it with lava now as deep 
as 35 m."

My uncle had a place at Kapoho.  It was burned and covered by lave in a 
lava flow from Mauna Loa.  I think that eruption was in the 70s.

once the key is in the on position, remove the cylinder as advised by

can run the car with a screwdriver if necessary, until the new cyl

Well, "white lithium" grease will guarantee that it will be bad.  that

Ammonia and water in a squirt bottle.   The original "windex" and still 
the best.  If that won't cut the crap, then use glass top stove 
cleaner.  That'll clean the glass like glass wax usta.

something else better?

Re: [MBZ] e420 ignition lock Frozen

2018-05-04 Thread Meade Dillon via Mercedes
Sounds like time to order a new tumbler.

Wiggling and jiggling may get it to turn one more time, be ready with a set
of 2mm pins (a bicycle spoke makes a good tool) to insert (grind angles on
tips) so you can pull the tumbler.

Extreme method is to vibrate the key with a sander while twisting to get
the pins to release and turn the tumbler one more time...

Does that mean it can be removed but just will not turn the lock?
I assume you have tried moving the steering wheel one way or the other?
Do you have any other keys for the car? Maybe try a different key?
Might spray some sort of penetrating oil down into it if key is removable.
If sticky, I don't think I would have used grease. If it dries, it will 
be worse.


Others will be along to advise that all is lost and the car is now worth 
only a pittance.

Re: [MBZ] e420 ignition lock Frozen

2018-05-04 Thread Dan Penoff via Mercedes
Yup.

You’ve probably got a bad lock cylinder.  Best to do a Wilton on it with the 
vibratory sander and see if you can free it up for the removal.

A new cylinder with key matched to your VIN is under $100 from the dealer.

[MBZ] e420 ignition lock Frozen

2018-05-04 Thread Karl Wittnebel via Mercedes
Nanny says she cannot turn the key in the lock of the e420. Seems a little
sticky in the past, but I never have had any problem with it. Have greased
it at least once with white lithium grease in the past. Anybody have any
experience with the key not turning in the lock on a 124?

[MBZ] The copart ML

2018-05-04 Thread Kaleb C. Striplin via Mercedes
Aside from needing a new front and rear bumper and grille, it does start and 
run. Will see how it drives when I get it home tomorrow. Has new looking 
Michelin’s on it. Needs some serious Martha attention on the interior. Also has 
2 sets of keys, that is not something you see everyday at copart.

Appears that the 3.5 coupe, while exceptionally nice, is one of those
stripped down European versions with power for the  front windows only.
How dumb is that?  I've never seen a Becker Mexico in one of these - maybe
they enlarged the dash opening so it would fit?  And the car is in
Wisconsin with a clean Missouri title.  Weird.

That's the thing, there's muddy smears on the leather, despite being cleaned 
and dried out, and when they cleaned it up they didn't mark a high water line 
on the body like I often see on flood cars in Texas. There wouldn't have been 
any need to drain the oil if the water was under 2' deep, there wouldn't have 
been muddy water residue on the seats if the water was under 3' deep, but 
there's no way of knowing if they launched it at a boat ramp and put it 
entirely under water.

[MBZ] Copart Louisiana

2018-05-04 Thread Kaleb C. Striplin via Mercedes
I am currently at copart in Baton Rouge picking up my latest purchase. As if 
the roads in this state are not bad enough the drivers are even worse. On the 
way over some old lady in a ram changed lanes into the back of my trailer. 
Didn’t do anything to the trailer but tore her bumper up.

[MBZ] Yo Martha

2018-05-04 Thread Floyd Thursby via Mercedes
The glass on this $500E300D is really nasty.  I did some windexing a 
coupla times and it still has a lot of greasy film on it.  What to do?  
The old newspaper and vinegar water (which will stink) or something else 
better?


I was driving it last night, it has been running pretty well but it 
started hesitating and kinda down on power, wasn't shifting quite 
right.  I filled it with dizzel on a nearly empty tank, I'm thinking 
that stirred up some crap so I need to change fuel filters now.  I hope 
the EGR hasn't clogged up again, I need to just do the wiring bypass on it.


Getting the new cheepcheep Kumho tars put on it Tuesday.  The kid at the 
tar shop was all excited about the car, I was telling him it was a $500 
diesel and he thought that was so cool.  He had a Mustang in the parking 
lot he was turning into a track car, interior was stripped out and he 
was putting in a cage and doing various other things to it.  Looked fun.

Of course, the title will forever read "Flood Car", so resale "might" be an

Normally I would agree with you.  But, we need the (a) truck, and don't
have two years to peck away at it.
Already lots of things are not getting done, don't need to add to the

I guess so, one I'm afraid to bid over $500 for is now over $2k. 
Looks like a nice one, if you could detail it and drop in a battery, fill it 
with oil, and drive it. But not knowing if I could ever get it running leaves

Re: [MBZ] Engine That Uses Gas and Diesel

2018-05-04 Thread MG via Mercedes
Which you can run in any diesel engine. The 6.5s when they 
started using them all had a mechanical injection pump. I got one 
and put it on the 6.5 that I put into my van. It still works 
good. I don't know if they ever went to the electronic injection 
pump for those but I heard they used a different transmission, I 
forget which one and also HID headlights when they rebuilt some 
and when they built the newer ones. They cruise down the highway 
right nice now.
