Very first thing to do is go to an E.N.T. (ear, nose, and throat) MD or DO like 
your sister does in order to rule out serious causes like a tumour and to get 
the ear wax removed professionally. 
If that doesn't fix it, you might have non-specific hearing loss and need a 
hearing aid like millions of other people do when they hit middle age or older.
The doc might send you to get a hearing test if that is the case, but don't let 
the tester talk you into getting a hearing aid "yet". Selling hearing aids has 
become such a racket, there is currently legislation before congress to 
separate the "audiologists" (who do the hearing tests) from the hearing aid 
sellers. If that legislation passes, you will go to a professional licensced 
audiologist and get a prescription just like you get a drug prescription from a 
regular doctor. Then you can buy a hearing aide(s) from any seller; even 
online. If you can't wait for the legislation, the first place to try hearing 
aids is Costco which has a variety of good brands at much lower prices.
There is a "lot" more information about available hearing aids; some as low as 
a few hundred dollars. After you see the EENT post the results here and we can 
go from there. If you're interested in the nitty-gritty, here is a website(s):

Re: [MBZ] Who is in CA...Paperwork

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

No, you have to make California happy or you won’t get a pink slip. No pink 
slip, no title. I had to deal with this on my former 62 300SE. Granted, it was 
a very different situation, but CA was enough of a PITA that I had to wash the 
title through Alabama to get a clear title to the car.

Since this is a running example, the paperwork should be in order.

Re: [MBZ] Who is in CA...Paperwork

[Meade Dillon via Mercedes]

Wow.  Back in the 90's my father flew out to San Diego and met me, and I
helped him by a nice old MB.  I think it was a 1969 220S?  Straight six
with two carbs, just a nice clean rust-free survivor, all original.  I
located a set of used seatbelts from an independent MB garage, we installed
those and change the oil, and commenced driving back to WI.  I don't
remember any difficulty at all with the paperwork.

Where are you next registering it?  If in WA, for example, there's a particular
form for seller and buyer to sign in order for the State to accept what you 
actually
paid.  Otherwise they look at the Blue Book, and not the car.  Certainly
they don't care about anything trivial like a bill of sale, or a receipt!

That's a particularly nasty trick when you're buying at the parts-car end of
the scale, perhaps it won't really apply to you?

I’m in AZ. From what Dan told me it sounds like the current owner has to get 
the vehicle current on its registration. In this case, it’s fines of about 
$600. Then they are able to put the paperwork in for a duplicate pink slip. 
Once I get a pink slip, they sign it over to me and I bring it back to AZ.

Re: [MBZ] 123 and older reman interior parts from Reinvent the Wheel (no affiliation, etc.)

[Allan Streib via Mercedes]

The top side of the dash on my W116 300SD is pretty badly cracked. UV
exposure off and on for 40 years I suppose.

When you say "dash pad" are you talking about a cover of some kind?

Re: [MBZ] Fwd: 1979 Mercedes 300D

[Allan Streib via Mercedes]

Wow I need exactly this for mine.

I've been thinking about trying to reverse engineer the system and
use something like a Raspberry Pi to control it -- but $335 sounds
well worth it, if it works.

I also need a new blower motor -- mine keeps blowing fuses. It only runs
on "HI DEFROST" due to the failed control system. I've tried lubricating
it but hasn't helped. Unless there is NOS available anywhere I'm
guessing most salvage motors would not be much better. I'm hoping I can
fit a standard 12v motor from somewhere but haven't started researching
that.

Really? - shipping takes 7 days?  Perhaps low cost for the auction

If it is the bimboautomotiv guy, they make great rubber mirror boots for
w124 cars for about 30 bucks a set also.

I thought there was someone stateside who recovers dashboards. Pierre
mentioned them in a vid.

When we were rebuilding a 55 chevy in our backyard in Riyadh, we got lots
of stuff out of Turkey, including a new windshield. Kind of like Cuba up
there. High import taxes.

Re: [MBZ] Fwd: 1979 Mercedes 300D

[Dan--- via Mercedes]

Allan,

There is a retrofit kit for a larger strip fuse for the W123 blowers if yours 
hasn’t already been updated. It’s a wiring harness with an external fuse holder 
that was used to bypass the original 16 amp fuse in the fuse box. Last one I 
bought a couple years ago was under $20 from the dealer.

126 540 30 13 is the part number. Around $20.

I don’t know what that means. Can you explain that?
This whole thing is getting sketchier by the minute. California DMV says, using 
the information the seller provided to me, that I should run away cause the 
paperwork doesn’t match. Supposedly, Junior has mom looking for more paperwork.

Look at his eBay page that I posted. His eBay handle is “Selo114”, I believe.

It’s the padded part of the dash, complete.

There are guys in SoCal who “restore” dashes. I mentioned them, too. 6 months 
lead time and $1600 for the dash pad. Thanks, I’ll pass.

Re: [MBZ] Who is in CA...Paperwork

[Dan--- via Mercedes]

Bob,

This is far simpler than it appears on the surface.

Junior can no more sell that car to you or anyone else (especially a 
Californian) without a valid pink slip. Whether Mom finds paperwork or not, 
they’re going to have to make a trip to the DMV and get things sorted if they 
have any intention of selling the car, unless it’s to someone from out of state 
who would be dumb enough to just take a bill of sale for it (present company 
excepted, of course.)

Anyone who buys a car in CA that doesn’t get a clear title and current pink 
slip deserves  what they get. CA is nothing short of a nightmare when it comes 
to registering and titling cars, and they have the willingness to cooperate of 
a petulant five year old when it comes to sorting things out.

Cheap shipping == slow.

Amazon's free shipping takes forever, too, but that's because they don't
immediately send the package on its way -- they wait until the package
will arrive at the outer limit of their estimated shipping time.

And that’s why, when I have an Amazon purchase, I always take the quickest 
(free) Prime shipping that’s offered. I see it as my way of getting every last

Bob,

https://images.craigslist.org/00X0X_3Ig6oq6XGc8_1200x900.jpg shows the
vent on the top of the valve cover going to the fancy catch can.

The attached photo shows where the line is supposed to go.

Have you asked the seller why he has added the fancy catch can? Was it to
solve some problem the car had?

Others, IIRC, have said the pressure turbo wastegate was an improvement.
I don't recall their arguments so I cannot explain how it is an
improvement.

No. There were many of those, however. This one is till available as of 30 
minutes ago. I may be down to deciding between this one and the “Sherman Tank” 
one. 
I’m growing weary of this process and I need another vehicle in my household.

Re: [MBZ] Who is in CA...Paperwork

[Max Dillon via Mercedes]

I posted the YouTube video link earlier. Basically all you need is a bill of 
sale, then you pay Vermont tax based on the book value, they issue you a 
registration and a license plate. You take that to your DMV, get you state 
registration and title.  CA has no say in the matter.

It's less expensive, has fewer miles, says it has 20 years of records and
is well cared for, and it's not modified.

Re: [MBZ] Bundts??? 1971 Mercedes 280SE 3.5 V8 - $8000 (West ashley)

[Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes]

Bundts are ok but the steering wheel has been replaced with a 123 sw. That
kills every everything IMO.

The color annoys me but I reckon I could handle it. The peeling clearcoat is 
annoying too. But the mechanical squared away-ness of it is very appealing.

Cheap shipping == slow.

Amazon's free shipping takes forever, too, but that's because they don't
immediately send the package on its way -- they wait until the package
will arrive at the outer limit of their estimated shipping time.

WHY DOES CLICKING REPLY ON CURT'S EMAIL SEND THE REPLY ONLY TO HIM?!

Let's see if I can include the List this time, too ...

When Amazon says, "Shipping takes 5 - 10 days," it WILL take 10 days.
They will wait to ship until the arrival time is 10 days after you place
the order.

That color annoys me, too. Clearcoat peeling annoys me, too.

But both of the E300D/2.5 Turbos I have had have been in that condition.

The $700 price tag of the second one, along with its seemingly good
condition are what led me to buy it.

You could also try unplugging the electric aux coolant pump. That's what often

They usually seize, and they don't actually do much. As a Canadian, I know

Re: [MBZ] Who is in CA...Paperwork

Yes that is correct. No involvement with CA. So here is how you play it. Other 
buyers especially CA buyers will be scared. He will have to pay $600 you said 
to get the paperwork. Just tell him this and offer him $2k to save all the

questionable. Might be because they thought it was some sort of improvement. 
Pull the oil cap and see how much blowby it has. Should be very little. Try to 
get it for $2k.

Re: [MBZ] Who is in CA...Paperwork

GET THE CURRENT OWNER TO go to another state, get an address (from a 
relative or friend) and register it in that state.  That way he can 
avoid the fines.  Also, the fines should accrue only after it was in his 
possession, since the great grampa has passed on, he is no longer liable 
for back registration. BUT it IS kollyfonia, so they may insist on 
extracting cash from the dead.

Re: [MBZ] Who is in CA...Paperwork

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

That’s exactly what they’ll do. If the registration isn’t current and they 
can’t dig Grandpa up to sign the pink slip, or have power of attorney for him, 
California will get its pound of flesh out of them long before they’ll ever get 
clear (CA) title to the car.

You would think that Californians would do everything they can to keep stuff 
current to avoid such issues, but the exact opposite is true, or so I’ve found. 
Their registration and title laws are so oppressive people do everything they 
can to dodge them.

When I got the 62 300SE it was in an estate. The attorneys had power of 
attorney for the former owner, but wouldn’t sign the pink slip because they 
would be on the hook for four years of non-operation registration fees. They 
pretty much told me to p*ss off when I asked for the pink slip.

I tried slipping the bill of sale thing past Florida, but they’re no dummies - 
the DMVs talk to each other. And this was in 1999, so it’s probably even worse 
now. Bill Wachsmuth tried helping me out and was able to determine that CA 
would have to get roughly $2k out of me for non-op fees, fines and penalties 
that were the responsibility of the owner or his estate if I wanted clear title 
to the car. And I had to do it in person, or with someone designated as my 
legal representative.

BS.

I did some research and found some companies in AL that washed titles. I sent 
them a bill of sale selling the car to them for $1 with a cashier’s check for 
around $500 (I think) overnight and two days later I got a fully executed AL 
title signed over to me. Took it to the FL DMV and I was out the door in a 
matter of minutes with a fully executed Florida title in my name.

Re: [MBZ] Finnie Fun

Not sure. I watch US eBay, but there is a lot of stuff on German eBay as well. 
I would really like to find a good taillight and upper bumper on that side, as 
both are pretty well shot as far as the plating. The bumper is in very good 
physical condition, so it’s definitely a candidate for replating, but that’s 
time consuming. I paid $150 for the left one from a German supplier, but he 
didn’t have any right side ones. That’s about what it would cost to have it 
replated.

A lot of goodies for these cars on German eBay. The only problem is finding 
sellers who will ship overseas.

Thats pretty cool, but I would be leery of an M110 with that kind of miles on 
it. I’m guessing that’s what’s in it since there are no underhood shots.

Maybe Yahoo?

Same with Jim Cathey, but he doesn't have a Yahoo account.

Or it is how their clients are configured.  I have to remember to
"reply all", then delete the non-list name.
