Re: [MBZ] A car for AZ BOB

Perhaps, but I don't work on engines. I drove a 280S and a 280SE and the latter was way nicer to drive so that's the one I purchased. It ended up needing a valve job but otherwise was a pleasure to own. Purchased for $3200 and sold for $9800 following a repaint back in the '80s. On Wed, Dec

Re: [MBZ] A car for AZ BOB

BZZZT. Wrong. There’s nothing wrong at all with the 280, in fact, it’s a very nice engine to work on and maintain. Yes, fuel injection would make it nicer, but the bad rap people give it and it’s siblings that used the Zenith carbs is due mostly to ignorance of how to properly maintain these.

280S is to be avoided. Get the SE with EFI. On Tue, Dec 20, 2022 at 4:15 PM Bob Rentfro via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > That doesn’t look too beat up. I really liked the W108 I owned. Maybe if I > had scads of room…. > > AZBob > > Sent from my iPhone > > > On Dec 20, 2022, at

The center pot metal pivot for the big spring is what broke in both of my crank windows. I made a new one out of steel (don't remember how) and that fixed it. The one time I had to repair an electric window was when something jambed and the motor bent parts in the regulator in the drivers door of

The only things that break with crank windows is if the gear wears out, or if the Nylon slider breaks (usually about 20-25 years old. With elevtric windows, there are LOTS of ways they break: gear wears out, Nylon slider breaks, switches crap out often, (there are at least 6 of them), the

I vote for hand crank windows over power. No confusion about if it is a switch, the wires, or the motor failing. It either cranks up or down when you want it. I really wish I had salvaged the door cards and cranks out of the green 280SE at PnP clay monroe redgh...@comcast.net > On Nov
