My recollection (and you know what that's worth! :-) ) is the extra
cylinder of the OM617 compared to the OM615/616 was added to the rear of
the engine as far as placement in the engine compartment goes.

The same water pump/pulley/fan is on the same front of the block in all
three engines, though the OM617 does have the thermostatic clutch which
the others do not.

Re: [MBZ] Nice E430 for Kleb

[Clay Monroe via Mercedes]

I was passed on the road this afternoon by a w210 with a ghetto respray.

I came up in the rear view mirror and I was confused, because I knew the 
profile, but the day-glow green racing stripe and fanciful lightning bolts 
scheme felt wrong.  At a stop light I could see that the rattle can black had 
been poorly masked and applied in one heavy coating.  The day-glow swirls were 
a quick and dirty pseudo camo attempt

The automatic pool cleaners are great! We have a Hayward Tigershark robotic 
pool cleaner. When it is done, all I have to do is rinse out the filters, 
reinstall them and it’s ready for another round. This pool has an electro 
hydraulic system to roll the cover in and back out when swimming is done which 
cuts way down on leaves and debris entering the water. Most of the year, It 
requires a cover pump to drain the rainwater. We were VERY lucky to find a 
house with a pool here in western Oregon, even rarer, it’s and in-ground pool.

Re: [MBZ] 300D radiator fan shroud on 240D W123

[Curley McLain via Mercedes]

Better change the motor mounts first.   Chances are the engine raised up 
so the fan nicked the shroud.   Or the bottom tabs were not secured in 
the radiator allowing the shroud to move back into the fan.   300D 
shroud is shorter (engine is longer)

Yes!  It’s correct for all 240Ds.  You might be better off at a dealer to
save on shipping, since it’s large.

Re: [MBZ] Nice E430 for Kleb

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

Because of the number of pools in the area, pool maintenance companies are a 
dime a dozen and do the work for cheap. To have someone come weekly, treat the 
water and clean the pool and filter is often in the range of about $20. Much 
like lawn maintenance. I can get someone to cut my grass and trim the yard for 
maybe $20-$30 a visit. While I currently maintain my yard, once all of this is 
over I’m pulling the plug and paying someone to do it for me.

With the screened enclosure there is no detritus that gets into the pool such 
as leaves. Sure, there’s airborne dirt, but the filter gets most of that. I had 
an automatic pool cleaner at my last house, and boy oh boy, are those things 
great! One of the best Father’s Day gifts I’ve ever gotten.

Skeeters are only bad certain times of the year, but yes, when it’s that time 
the screened enclosure does keep them out.

The 300D has a wider radiator. I do not know if that affected the shroud;
it's been too long since I converted our 240D to a 300D.

Before I changed the engine mounts on our '82 240D/3.0 they were pretty
bad, but did not cause the fan to hit the shroud.

Did the fan hit the shroud on the bottom of the opening for the fan, or
the side?

You don't want to let a turbine free-spin.
Angle it 90 degrees to the wind if you're shutting it off entirely.
The load sump is to keep it running when it's producing beyond your needs.

sell mode, something you didn't want to be happening when the meter reader came along. In 
simple guerilla setups you left out the battery and current dump, and just ran all the 
excess onto the grid. All the inverters on the market had appropriate shutdown when the 
grid went unstable.

Looking back on it, I think the dump was needed for wind turbines, not solar 
panels. Solar-only charge controllers just let the solar go open circuit if the 
power was unwanted.

Mitch.

One would think that a wind turbine could do the same. Just need an auto 
clutch to disconnect from the charging unit when power was not wanted.

Re: [MBZ] Solar power, wes:] Tesla Model 3: More "Global Climate Change" than a Mercedes

[Mitch Haley via Mercedes]

It sounds like some of the early grid-tie inverters of 20-30 years ago.
You need panels, battery, and a current sink (like a BIG tank of water with a 
resistance heater). Power from the panels went to household loads, then to the 
battery, then down the sink or, if you hit the sell button, onto the grid. 

In "guerilla solar" (unpermitted) installations, the meter ran backwards in 
sell mode, something you didn't want to be happening when the meter reader came 
along. In simple guerilla setups you left out the battery and current dump, and 
just ran all the excess onto the grid. All the inverters on the market had 
appropriate shutdown when the grid went unstable.

Looking back on it, I think the dump was needed for wind turbines, not solar 
panels. Solar-only charge controllers just let the solar go open circuit if the 
power was unwanted.

Re: [MBZ] I should go get this

There is always a way to push a manual release and shift it out of park.
Not sure what the 21st century MBZ method is.
I'd treat it as parked when motor blew up if there's no key.
Seems like there's some sort of crime info database you can run the VIN online

Re: [MBZ] I should go get this

[Floyd Thursby via Mercedes]

So I am thinking to go look at this car tomorrow. For the money it has a 
lot of "value" if it could be monetized or somehow used.


No title, no key but it runs? (when my ex took off and left it or took 
my key and title?)  Not sure how one could move it onto a trailer if it 
wouldn't go into neutral.  Not sure how to deal with it if I was able to 
get it.  I'm sure there is a story to it, I guess I need to find that 
out, make sure I would not be buying a stolen car or something in 
contention somehow.  I suppose getting a solid bill of sale would be a 
reasonable step.  But it sounds fairly shady... but who knows...

Re: [MBZ] Nice E430 for Kleb

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

I would say that about 2/3-3/4 of the homes built in the last 20 years have in 
ground concrete pools with the associated screened “cage” covering it. Lack of 
a pool here isn’t a dealbreaker, but it can affect the attraction of the house 
for certain buyers.

The nice thing about a pool is not just the obvious (swimming) but the 
additional living space it affords. In our previous house here we had a nice 
deck surrounding the pool that provided a lot of space for entertaining. A 
portion of it was under the eaves of the house where 7’ high sliders opened to 
effectively make the pool part of the living area during the cooler months of 
the year. I had a TV mounted on the wall and patio furniture so it was a nice 
place to go and relax while watching the Succaneers, for example.

I failed to mention that part of the cost of a retrofit is the screened 
enclosure around the pool - that’s a good $20k, too.

Re: [MBZ] Nice E430 for Kleb

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

We can handle two houses, so we’ll get the new one in order, move everything, 
then get the old house all spiffed up and ready for sale in the spring. Paint, 
epoxy floor in the garage, network cabling, etc., will get done in advance 
before we move in. It’s in really good shape and pretty much ready for move-in, 
so getting it in order shouldn’t take a lot of effort.

And yes, it has a three car garage!!! That was something the wife wanted, too.

The 430 makes the 320 seem like a 240D. The 430 will get about the same mileage 
as a 320 under normal driving conditions.

Re: [MBZ] Nice E430 for Kleb

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

I think Kleb has run some E430s and they’re not much worse than the M112, I 
think. Definitely more peppy, though.

As for the house situation, this is a continuation of the wife wanting to live 
in our old neighborhood and getting a pool, as our current digs don’t have a 
pool. Adding one after the fact is cost prohibitive compared to buying another 
house with one. A pool only adds about $20k to the value around here, while 
putting a new one in on an existing home is easily $50k-$60k. Not going to 
recoup that cost when the home is sold, for sure.

Wife also likes pool for therapeutic purposes as well with her hips and stuff.

If it works out, we’ll be living across the cut-de-sac from our first house 
that we built in 1996. Being just a few blocks away from the existing hacienda 
the move will be easy.

Re: [MBZ] Nice E430 for Kleb

[Floyd Thursby via Mercedes]

This E320 is pretty peppy.  Have not got a fuel mileage reading yet as I 
just filled it on Friday.  Would the 430 be even more fun or just suck 
more gas?

Re: [MBZ] Tesla Model 3: More "Global Climate Change" than a Mercedes

[Meade Dillon via Mercedes]

Karl - I like the idea of this one: all the equipment is on the house side
of the meter, so electric company only sees a reduction in your usage.  I
did not study their claimed ROI, so economics aside...

If a home-owner installed this DIY or acted as his own general contractor,
and assuming no HOA interference, would someone like Dan in FL be able to
do this without consequence?
