I can loan you the Hazet socket for the plugs, this engine is notorious for 
breaking off plugs in the head.

This is another reason to stick with the 617s. These things are electrical 
electronic and not designed to be easily serviced. And all cheap plastic bits 
everywhere. Disposable and degradable. Sad. 

The seat switch wasn’t moving the seat well so I got another one at the 
knackers. Replaced it this afternoon, fairly easy job as the door panel just 
has a coupla screws and the push-in plastic spiny rivets so it pops off easy 
enough. The new switch isn’t moving it either so now I’m thinking it must be 
relays in there somewhere as the switch and wires are cheap and flimsy, minimal 
stuff, they must just be switching relays. Who knows where all that stuff might 
be. 

Man the 123s and 126s are looking better and better.

Yeah, well there is that too, but the guy is fairly close by so I was 
going to pop over to pick it up.  The PNP is like way up the road so 
that is an annoyance, but so is this guy, so there's that aspect too.

Funny how?  Like a clown?  You think I’m a clown?

I pulled out those bushings and all 4 were shot. Ordered new ones, will see if 
that tightens up the steering. I don’t want to loose my steering.

Re: [MBZ] E300 dizzel steering

[Rich Thomas via Mercedes]

I jacked up the car and took a look at the steering.  I think it is OK, 
but the rack was moving around, like a quarter inch up and down when I 
moved the front wheels and just jiggled it, which was giving the slop in 
the steering.  Looks like these rubber mounting bushings are shot, cheap 
easy fix,  I'll order some and put them in.  You can actually reach them 
easily from under the car, wonder of wonders.


https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/mercedes-rack-and-pinion-mount-bushing-e300-e320-e420-e430-e55-amg-2104631066

I'm guessing I need 4 of them for top and bottom each side? Anyone 
know?  Maybe they got banged in some energetic collision, but nothing 
else looks buggered so maybe it is just these bushings.


If that solves the problem this might be a decent driver even with the 
banged up fascia.  I'll see if I can get a shot of AC juice in the 
system and see if it BLOWS ICE COLD.


Hm maybe I ought be charging KLEB more for it...

It is telling me the engine needs servicing and the CEL is on, along 
with some nanny telling me some light, but not which, is out.  Is this 
car going to need the Poos system to troubleshoot it?  Or is there some 
secret codes you can punch in to get it to give up lighting secrets?  
And CEL codes?  Will my little thingie I have for the trucks tell me 
anything or do I need the German Enigma machine?

Re: [MBZ] E300 dizzel

[Rich Thomas via Mercedes]

I went and picked it up this morning, she was glad to get the $500.  The 
new BF was there, turns out he is in the wholesale car bidness, buys at 
auction and flips them. He was pretty much a good ol boy, seemed to like 
her well enough but she seemed a bit high-strung, who knows.  So I 
talked to him a bit about this car being wrecked like 4 times, and he 
laughed and said yeah, but it still runs, do a little fix up, put it on 
CL for like $1800 and you'll sell it in no time.  He says that is a 
great target market, someone just looking for a fairly cheap car, and 
the Benz image! He told her to take the $500 (probably would have gone 
lower just to unload it but who knew...) and be shed of the thing.  So 
if Kleb lacks interest, I'll see what the deal is with the steering, see 
if I can fix it, maybe find a new front bumper fascia at the knackers, 
or maybe just glue it up and it's good ta go...


It started on 2 pulls this morning and ran fine, so I guess sitting for 
2-3months probably got it unhappy.  Idles a little rough, but off idle 
runs fine.  I might put some of that cleaner stuff in the fuel and see 
if that even things up.


If I can get it fixed up easy enough maybe I'll just keep it, I don't 
know.  if anyone other than Kleb has any interest let me know.


She was going to send me the old BF's number, turns out he lives next 
island over (on a boat but has a shop somewhere) and I can deal with him 
and the wheel.


What we do for these old POS Benzes...
