Tire pressure warning is illuminated. Maybe needs new TPS valves. Just had to 
do this in my Volvo of the same age.

I thought my 1979 did.
I have to disengage a stop on the hinge, but I'm pretty sure it does.

[MBZ] Latest with jobs

[Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes]

Well, I received another job offer today. I started talking to this one before 
the one that I accepted last week. It’s basically going to end up being around 
$3k less a year than the first offer, except they cover 100% of the insurance 
for employee and most of it for family. The first company was going to be about 
$1600 a month in premiums. This company offers 2 weeks of vacation time 
starting out, then 3 weeks after a year. First company only offers 1 week after 
a year. This company will be 2-3 weeks of travel a month, mostly likely just 2. 
On weeks not traveling, you are literally just at home basically off work (so 
plenty of time to work on cars).  Some trips may involve traveling on Sunday 
but I think I can live with that.  Company 1 has around 60 employees. Company 2 
has about 20 and is a small family owned operation. Actually first company is 
also. Current company is a large international corporate deal with the end goal 
to be sold or go IPO very soon, which explains all the layoffs. 

As far as current job, they came back with a figure they think they can do to 
get me to stay, but still waiting for final. The difference would come in bonus 
which they keep telling us they are working on it and then said they would roll 
it out Nov 1. Today they gave us some info on what they thought it was going to 
be, but could change. Now talking about rolling it out Jan 1. In other words, 
continue to have us chase the carrot.

Re: [MBZ] Worth a Look??

well the guy finally got back with me about an hour ago and said that he took 
that car to the shade tree mechanic to get a new alternator installed. He 
started the car drove home and now the car will turn over but will not start. 
I’m trying to pump him for a little more information but he’s not a very good 
conversationalist particularly when he wants to text only.

What think y’all?

I bought a $20 recip saw years ago as my old Sears (rebranded Milwaukee)

on the thing unmercifully and with some minimal repairs it has continued to 
perform well.

Re: [MBZ] Restored (240D) -- 1975 Mercedes-Benz Mercedes-Benz 300 D Sedan 4D, $9, 600

[dan penoff.com via Mercedes]

There’s more truth to that than you might want to believe. I’ve done it on a 
W114 and W108. Horrible, nasty job. The only positive thing is that as these 
are older cars, the level of complexity in the dash is extremely low, meaning 
there’s very little stuff in there to goof up while you’re doing it.

Re: [MBZ] Restored (240D) -- 1975 Mercedes-Benz Mercedes-Benz 300 D Sedan 4D, $9, 600

[Randy Bennell via Mercedes]

Whoever wrote the ad does not appear very knowledgeable about the car. I 
wondered if they expected the blower to send air down into the footwells 
etc and if that was why they thought it was inoperative.

Re: [MBZ] Restored (240D) -- 1975 Mercedes-Benz Mercedes-Benz 300 D Sedan 4D, $9, 600

[OK Don via Mercedes]

I've done it twice - on a '70 220D and a '76 300D - both W115s.
The proper way per the factory repair manual takes 16 hours to R&R - remove
the dash, all the heating ducting, etc.
The second time IPulled it out through the front center speaker hole -
enlarging it just enough to pull the fan out, then put the new one in. That
time it only took 8 hours. A lot of that time is spent lying on the floor -
would be easier with the front seats removed. I wouldn't try it today - I'm
not as limber as I was in the '80's and '90's.

Re: [MBZ] Pulling torque converter?

[G Mann via Mercedes]

Do you have a neighbor who owns a tractor with a front loader? If you do,
now is a good time to make him your "new best friend" and lift the engine
off the trailer, move it to a nice paved surface and set it on cribbing
that will let you work on it now, and get an engine hoist attached to it
later.
Something like this would work nicely for you, plus, be a lot safer than
balancing the engine on furniture dollies.

Re: [MBZ] Pulling torque converter?

[Jim Cathey via Mercedes]

I have a cheap HF grinder.  It works, I use it for grinding.  But it has
zero power compared to my much more expensive DeWalt, which
I use for the wire wheel.

Re: [MBZ] Pulling torque converter?

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

 I've got one of those, I think you got yours cheaper, I think I paid $20.As 
with all angle grinders I beat the ever loving snot out of mine. It's performed 
well although the switch is started to get flaky, it might be from the time I 
dropped it, or the other time I dropped it, or the time it caught in the cut, 
smashed my arm, bounced of the wall and fell...
It was worth every penny though, when it quits I'll get another. Actually if I 
see one on sale for $10 I'll snag it before this one fails.

Good info on this site with contact info at the to discuss your project.

Is PVC Pipe Alright to Use with Compressed Air?
PUBLISHED ON May 1, 2019 by Brian Farno
A question arises every now and then on whether or not PVC pipe, yes the stuff 
from your local hardware store that says it is rated for 200 psi, is safe to 
use as compressed air supply line.   The answer is always the same,  NO! OSHA 
agrees – see their statement here.

Schedule 40 PVC pipe is not designed nor rated for use with compressed air or 
other gases.  PVC pipe will explode under pressure, it is impacted 
significantly by temperature and can be difficult to get airtight.

PVC pipe was originally designed and tested for conveyance of liquids or 
products that cannot be compressed, rather they can be pressurized.   The 
largest concern is the failure method of the piping itself.   When being used 
with a liquid that cannot be compressed, if there is a failure (crack or hole) 
then the piping will spring a leak and not shatter.   When introducing a 
compressed gas, such as compressed air, if there is a failure the method ends 
up being shrapnel.  This YouTube video does a good job of illustrating how the 
pipe shatters.


While it may seem that it takes a good amount of pressure to cause a failure in 
the pipe, that is often not the case.  I have chatted with some local shop 
owners who decided to run PVC as a quick and cheap alternative to get their 
machines up and running.

They each experienced the same failures at different points in time as well.  
The worst one was a section of PVC pipe installed over a workbench failed where 
an operator would normally be standing. Luckily the failure happened at night 
when no one was there.  Even though no one got injured this still caused a 
considerable expense to the company because the compressor ran overnight trying 
to pressurize a ruptured line.

Temperature will impact the PVC as well. Schedule 40 PVC is generally rated for 
use between 70°F and 140°F (21°-60°C). Pipes that are installed outside or in 
non temperature controlled buildings can freeze the pipes and make them brittle.

If you haven’t worked with PVC before or do not let the sealant set, it can be 
hard to get a good seal, leading to leaks and a weak spot in the system.

The point of this is the cheapest, quick, and easy solutions are more often , 
the ones that will cost the most in the long run.

If you would like to discuss proper compressed air piping and how to save 
compressed air on your systems, please contact us.

Looks like I will need to get the torque conv off before mounting it to

makes it easy to get them on/off the little trailer to move them

Consider an el-stupido move like catching a hose on the bumper of a car you're 
backing out.
You don't want your entire air system to go out the door too, dragging your 
compressor on
its side out after you.  Where do you _want_ something to break then?  Make it 
happen.

Re: [MBZ] Project for poos

[G Mann via Mercedes]

I see one valve cover is off in one of the pictures by the powers of
magic deduction I surmise it dropped a valve, or ingested something and was
parked. That engine is, I believe, the 454 cubic inch. Not a cheap
overhaul. In today's world, expect $3 to $5K low side estimate, with full
rebuild pushing $20K.

Re: [MBZ] Shop air

[OK Don via Mercedes]

I would say that the flexible hose is very easy to install. I replaced the
PVC because it is rated for water pressure, not compressed air and it was
not routed where I wanted it.
I have a shutoff valve right at the compressor and shut it off when I don't
need the air. There are still a leaks somewhere - it will drop 15 PSI over
24 hours and I don't want the compressor running when I'm not using the air.
