That color combo can grow on you. Not particularly high performance but will

The black wheels look sorta like W210 Magnesium spares.
I hope not, those are rated for something like 12,000km.

Yeah, that's a bit much.

Not a bad car though.

Apparently the 2006-2008 balance shaft issues span all model lines.

If I was shopping for a wagon at that price, it would be a 2008 E350 4matic, 
with the "right" parts in it.

Re: [MBZ] Hello Again and A Question

2021-11-01 Thread dan penoff.com via Mercedes
The FCP “free” option is almost always the best way to go unless you’re in a 
hurry. They use WorldPac for some of their stuff so it can often end up coming 
from a warehouse nearby, as it often does for me. There’s a WorldPac in Miami 
so if it comes out of there I‘ll often have it the next day.

Rock Auto is good for closeouts, but that’s about it as far as I’m concerned. 
If you have items in multiple warehouses the shipping becomes onerous, making 
it less expensive to buy it from someone else and pay shipping.

Don’t ignore your local dealer when you’re shopping, as you can often be 
pleasantly surprised at the cost of OE parts. Case in point, motor mounts for 
an ML (W163) are only about $30-$35/each from the dealer. Aftermarket is $20. 
Why wouldn’t you pay a little more for the OE part in this case, especially 
when you consider the effort it takes to replace them.

My last order I chose the cheapest option. Shipping updates were from FedEx but

I quit buying from RockAuto when FedEx began having some serious

me a choice of Priority Mail on stuff up to a pound or two, every other

This dealership in Nebraska usually offers 25-27% off of list price. Of course 
you still have to pay for shipping.

https://www.mbdirectparts.com/

These guys are in Naperville, IL. Usually 20-25% off retail.

https://www.mboemparts.com/

FCPEURO does a very good job too.

https://www.fcpeuro.com/

Believe it or not, I have had pretty good success on some things from Advance 
Auto Parts. For example when I needed a belt tensioner for my W210 they had one 
in stock, and it was a Made in Germany Litins. I have also purchased 
remanufactured brake calipers for W123 cars and had good luck.

Fcpeuro have a lot of good stuff and there are 3 or 4 MB dealers that have 
decent prices. If you have a particular part you’re after do a search on the 
part number and you can usually find one of the suppliers.

I just ordered 3 radiator hoses from fcpeuro and their prices were quite good,

Re: [MBZ] Trailer reno

2021-11-01 Thread Curt Raymond via Mercedes
 You remind me, the snowmobile club has a bridge that needs to be re-decked. 
The lumber came for it on Saturday: https://photos.app.goo.gl/eSu9FV537EcatnBf6
55x 6"x8"x12' they weigh 140# each. They were delivered in a dump trailer, we 
had to transfer them to a flatbed that the club owns. Most of it was hand work. 
Sunday I could barely flex my fingers...

 I hauled my daughters 95E320 back yesterday and when we were loading it the 
trailer deck gave way. I have replacement decking but have just not replaced it 
yet. So now I am. 

I took off the old deck, mostly rotted. Hit the frame with the pressure washer 
and got it pretty clean. 

I’ve had the trailer for 10-11yr I guess, and it was used probably a couple 
more years old, so it has served well. It is starting to rust so I figure while 
I have the deck off I’ll paint it. I’m thinking to hit the rusty spots with POR 
as going at it with wire wheel would be a huge effort on all that channel iron 
and such.  I might hit a few spots with the wheel that are easy to reach.  Then 
some rust oleum on that. 

I was thinking to put deck stain on the PT wood, mix in a little sand for 
better traction. 

Is that a good plan?

Re: [MBZ] Dune

Yesterday we saw "Beetlejuice" at our local theater, great Halloween movie...
Anyway there was a trailer for the new Dune movie, it actually didn't look as 
terrible as I expected.My in-laws apparently went to see it this weekend. MIL 
is working her way though the book, it'll be interesting to see what they 
thought.

Re-reading them a few years ago they came across as very adolescent.

The original movie was worthless, wrong director and butchered script.  book is 
way to dense to put into a 2 hr movie, and David Lynch appears to live in a 
1970's "alternative bar" where everything is nearly unlit and the walls, 
ceiling, and floor are all painted flat black.  Terrible movie

I'll pass on the new on too I think.

 The new Dune is just as long as the '84 version but ends about a third of
 the way through the story.  It looks like the first episode of a trilogy or
 mini-series but I see nothing online about follow-on episodes.
 
 I found the book confusing when I first read it back in the '60s but the
 book has several appendices that explain things.  Several times I stopped
 reading the main story to read the relevant appendix.  I think Dune could 
 be
 a good series (more than 3 episodes) but it is (IMO) foolhardy to try to
 tell the whole story in a movie.
 
 There were several other sequel and prequel books based on Dune.  Some
 better than others.  The prequels explained how the Dune-era "world order"
 came to be.

Re: [MBZ] Dune

2021-11-01 Thread Curt Raymond via Mercedes
 Remember that the book is from 1965 which was a period during which there 
tended to be more sci in the sci-fi. Writers like Pohl and Heinlein (especially 
Heinlein I think) struggled with science fiction that had possible physics. 
They would often add the "undiscovered" which allowed them to stretch the 
physics of the day but they didn't use so much magic physics like you see in 
Star Wars and Star Trek.
The novel Dune has a lot of science in it, like the water suits. It's also got 
socio-politics in the way the people use water as currency and kind of 
religion. Any kind of movie is going to be hard because you don't have time to 
explain that stuff.
People who read a lot of sci-fi, especially sci-fi of that period, will be more 
prepared for that kind of stuff...

Fcpeuro have a lot of good stuff and there are 3 or 4 MB dealers that have 
decent prices. If you have a particular part you’re after do a search on the 
part number and you can usually find one of the suppliers. 

I just ordered 3 radiator hoses from fcpeuro and their prices were quite good, 
plus lifetime replacement on everything they sell.
