[Kaleb C. Striplin via Mercedes]

Well the price might go down considering there is currently massive 
flooding going on where this car is located.

It looks as though it may once have had the parchment interior but has 
been reupholstered in white. The door handle/arm rests are parchment but 
the rest of it is not.

Re: [MBZ] Plugging Tires

Agreed. I was thinking that as well. I knew I was going to have to replace them 
anyway, so I might was well do it now.

Got the AC blower installed this morning so that’s dealt with. Got some new 
batteries in the key fob and reprogrammed it and it’s working. I need to take a 
look at the front brakes, as the wear indicator light has been coming on since 
I bought the car. I know the rears are good, so the fronts may need some pads.

Three day weekend coming up, time to get the Finnie finished or close to it and 
spend some more time getting this thing totally sorted.

I caved on new tires.

Went to my tire guy to get it aligned, and told him to run some numbers for a 
pair of new tires for it. He had to spend about 10 minutes searching their 
supplier’s warehouses. They had some Kumho tires, which happened to be exactly 
the same tire that’s on the front of the car, laying around. He said they were 
a year old so they would give me a deal.

So I took him up on it. Waiting for them to come over from the warehouse right

Re: [MBZ] Plugging Tires

I caved on new tires.

Went to my tire guy to get it aligned, and told him to run some numbers for a 
pair of new tires for it. He had to spend about 10 minutes searching their 
supplier’s warehouses. They had some Kumho tires, which happened to be exactly 
the same tire that’s on the front of the car, laying around. He said they were 
a year old so they would give me a deal.

So I took him up on it. Waiting for them to come over from the warehouse right

The DM always has lots of pictures in their postings.  They can be a bit 
sensational sometimes in the reporting but the pics sorta speak for 
themselves.

Re: [MBZ] Plugging Tires

[G Mann via Mercedes]

I discovered the glue trick when I rented a back hoe with 18 ply tires,
during a building tear down. Managed to collect 16 nails in one tire, less
in the other 3, so, by mid afternoon, I had a rented reach backhoe with 4
flat tires [big ones] and rendered un-serviceable.
Rental contract said, I would be charged for picking up the tractor with
flat tires [$$ expensive pickup] So, I went to FLAPS and stocked up on
plug materials, pulled nails, plugged the tires, had a job air compressor
to air them up. It worked, back in business in about 1 hr. I clipped the
plug part sticking out of the tires and when rental was collected, it drove
onto their delivery truck, rental company never complained, so saved my
bacon. Tire pressure on the backhoe was 90 psi, so if it was going to leak,
it would have.

Re: [MBZ] Plugging Tires

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

I’ve been reading some things online, and I see where some people suggest 
coating the reamer with glue as a way to get more glue into the opening. Makes 
sense to me.

Well Geico calls it a total loss.  Very few aftermarket parts that met
their standards were available (headlamp, bumper impact strip) so the rest
(bumper, fender) were MB-only and they really drove up the estimate.  Geico
valued the car at about $3500 which I think is fair, I'm waiting for them
to tell me the buy-back price.  Adjuster was a little flabergasted at the
cost of a fender and a bumper, far higher than modern cars.

I think I'll end up with about $3k or maybe a little more, then repair on

Re: [MBZ] And Another ML Question...

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

I just ordered a pair of the RH thread ends, about $7/each. Rather than pop 
$40+ for the whole rod, I’ll find some threaded rod at my local Ace Hardware 
and make one up to measure.

Fortunately, the EPC does designate whether they’re RH or LH thread.

Thanks again for the suggestion!

R or L respectively. The one you want with 
the right hand thread is 123 328 00 63. The 
threads are the size that use a nut with the 
10mm wrench size.

Great idea, Mannfred! The only concern would be if it’s at or near the correct 
length. The part on this car is a fixed length, there’s no adjustment. I 
realize the W123 part would be adjustable, but if it’s too long or short it 
wouldn’t of much use.

If I knew which one was right hand thread I would just buy two of them and get 
some threaded rod to make one the right length.

Thanks!

OK found the pack sooner then I thought. there are two ends one aright hand 
thread and one a left. you will need one of each for each of the connector bars.
the numbers are   123 328 00 63 and 123 328 01 63 my cost $7.24 each. From 
those numbers the parts guy should be able to get the number of the whole 
assembly with bar and lock nuts. It is on a 83 300TD but should be the same for 
any year with the active suspension.

This car has xenon headlights. A part of this system is two level sensors, one 
at the front and one at the rear. The sensor is bolted to the vehicle frame and 
a lever on the sensor, using much like a sway bar link, is connected to the 
lower control arm at that location.
I found the rear sensor disconnected at the right rear sway bar, the clip that 
held it in place missing. Easy enough to resolve.
While working under the car last night, I found the front sensor on the right 
front suspension with a broken bracket where it attaches to the lower control 
arm. I removed the connecting link and discovered that the ball joint on the 
bottom end was completely frozen in place. I soaked it with some Kroil and 
found when it came loose that the socket was completely destroyed by corrosion 
and the only thing holding the ball in place was the remains of the rubber boot.
The connecting link is about 4”-5” long, with a ball joint at each end with a 
threaded stud that’s maybe an M6 or M8 thread on it. The part from MB 
iswait for it...$235.00
Yeah, I don’t think so.
So I’m wondering if anyone might know a source for something like this?

I just checked car-part.com. 
LH fenders (it is left, not shark gill?) run $60-100 in Michigan in A-0 
condition. 
Grade A, 0 units of repair needed. (but I've gone to pick up A-0s and found 
dents or rust spots in them before, best to talk to somebody on the phone while 
he's looking at the part in question)

Should be some near you, or they might be able to get a correct color one 
shipped in from afar.

A used fender would be fine in my book, if original MB steel.  Probably
more labor on the part of the shop?  Signal lights are easy peasy.  Fender
liner - I'd patch it and forget it.

I wonder if they've already tried to get the parts from MB and found them

I will definitely buy it back.  Going to have a salvage title if that

Re: [MBZ] Chebby brakes

[Scott Ritchey via Mercedes]

Your technique is OK with a brand new master cylinder but an old master 
cylinder will be rough beyond the range routinely wiped by the piston.  That 
rough area will often ruin the seal.

Re: [MBZ] Today's ML500 Abuse

Bingo.  If you want to get the crap out of the cooling system pull the lower 
hose at the lowest point (usually the radiator).  In my experience it's best to 
refill through the big top hose (disconnected at the radiator).
