[MBZ] Now that Dan is gone (or nearly so)....

I'm going to try the Cliplight Super Seal Premium leak stop magic on my '95 E300. Charged up the AC system a week or two ago, and now it has leaked down enough that cooling is pretty much non-existent. Still enough pressure in the system for the compressor to activate (about 45 PSI with the syste

Ja, but compared to some of us, you are just a kid still. I started looking for one of those in spring of 1973. The local dealer told me NLA The dealer in Pekin, IL either told me it was NLA or it was something like $500. I eventually found one not so worn out at a junkyard, and it is sti

Re: [MBZ] 205 chassis

It's true... They really are outstanding cars. I've driven 10s of thousands of miles in them and have little bad to say. The 4 is so good you don't really need the 6. Only when you really get on does the 6 really show it's advantage. Jaime On Sunday, August 21, 2016, OK Don via Mercedes wrot

I drove my sister's 2014 C250 last week - she bought it used a year ago. It was a surprisingly nice car. Not as cheep looking/feeling as I expected from listening(reading) to you guys. The little four cylinder engine was very responsive, equal to the late Diesels IMHO. I might look for one to repla

If is is thin enough to break once, there isn't much material to weld back together at the crack, and it is going to be hard to put a good weld on the rusty material. I would take the spring out, sound out the border of rusty vs solid metal with a hammer, make/form a patch to cover it with sheet me
