Re: [MBZ] Hyundai vs MB
I know what you mean about the Kia. I had to rent a Kia Reo in Manchester NH airport and drive it to Augusta maine. By the time I got there I was in so much pain I couldn't even get out of the thing, and I was completely worn out from trying to keep the little rattle trap on the road. It only had about 7000 miles on it. -Robert Probably not if you ever drove one. I got stuck wth a Kia Sedona or whatever its called. A mini-van. I asked for the cheapest shit-box they had. They upgraded me to the mini-van. The gas gauge moved noticeably as I drove down I-95. It got 15.8mpg. I returned it promptly as soon as they had an econo-car, which was a Hyundai something or other. Both felt like crap, swerving on hard acceleration wishy-washy steering/suspension uncomfortable. at least the Hyundai car got better than 25 mpg. Johnny B.

Hmmm. Democrats? Y'think?

The report, which the GAO said understated the number of fake degrees being claimed, also found that at least 28 senior-level federal workers had claimed degrees from diploma mills and other unaccredited schools.

It was rather like saying that if your feet are frozen in a block of ice and your head is dipped in boiling water you should on average be quite comfortable.

Re: [MBZ] Hyundai vs MB
Lessee in the nearly 3 years I've had this job I've had several rentals, There was an '04 Kia Optima, '04 Chevy Malibu Classic, '04 Dodge Neon, '05 Nissan Sentra, '05 Nissan Altima, '05 Chevy Cobalt, '05 Pontiac Grand Am, '05 Honda Civic (some sort of sporty edition), '05 Dodge Caravan (almost forgot this one it was so memorable), '06 Dodge Neon, '06 Mazda 6. Theres at least one more in there, I remember the trip but not what I had for a car, possibly another Neon. The ones that really stick out in my head: The Kia which had a form of tiptronic trans that was pretty fun to drive. Gas mileage was a stinky 25ishmpg but I was driving the stink out of it playing with the tiptronic. The Malibu Classic which was a surprisingly good car, looked sort of like a cross between the new Cavalier and the old Corsica. Got a satisfying 35mpg. The Cobalt which was the worst car I've ever had, everything about it was wrong. It had no power, lousy mileage and ergonomics apparently designed specifically not for me. Where ever I expected a switch or control to be was exactly where it wasn't. The Altima was my favorite rental ever until I drove the Mazda 6. The Mazda had every control in exactly the right place, perfect balance of power and control, plenty of space and decent economy for a larger car. #3 favorite was the Civic which was a good car to have in LA, powerful but small I slid it through traffic with no worries. When I went looking for a new car I considered first the Mazda, then the Nissan and Honda, then saved my money and got my 190D. -Curt Date: Mon, 13 Feb 2006 17:23:34 -0800 From: R A Bennell [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [MBZ] Hyundai vs MB To: Mercedes Discussion List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 I would agree that a buyer of a Hyundai is not expecting an MB but I assume they are sort of expecting something similar to a Honda / Toyota.

[MBZ] CD-ROM problem
Hi all, A friend is trying to run the W126 service manual on CD-ROM, and is having some problems. I'm trying to troubleshoot over the phone with no luck. He gets past the intro movie, and into the model/year selection, and to the function group sub-function... but when selecting the actual job from the right side window, where it should launch the PDF file, he's getting an Internet Explorer error Action canceled. Does anyone recognize this? I walked him through installing the required Shockwave plugin, and Acrobat Reader v7, but still no luck. If anyone has been through a similar scenario and has some tips, that would be VERY helpful... Thanks! :-) -- Dave M. Boise, ID 1994 E500 - 95kmi (Q-ship) 1987 300D - 261kmi (Sportline)

Re: [MBZ] 200D engine and trans going quick
Anyone else need this? Generator engine? Speaking of that, I've got another generator project germinating, and am keeping an eye out for a perfect donor car. Probably a 190D with slushbox is best, because I'm after run-time economy, and quietness under low loads, and the generator is a 6-pole 1200 RPM job. I was just thinking of using the cruise actuator to run the motor and let the tranny do its shifting thing however it wants to. I'm unsure if a 2.2 will cut it, but surely a 2.5 would. I'm betting the 2.2 would be fine. Now I just have to find one like the last one I bought: $350 (though the tranny was dead). -- Jim

Re: [MBZ] Cheney Good, Guns Good
BT Wrong TPWD incident report pins the blame squarely on Cheney. http://online.wsj.com/public/article/washington_wire.html Monday, Feb. 13 The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department's incident report on Vice President Dick Cheney's accidental shooting of a hunting partner Saturday pins the blame largely on Cheney. In evaluating contributing factors, the game warden checked off the box: Victim covered by shooter who was swinging on game. In its summary, the report says that 78-year-old Harry Whittington downed a bird and went to retrieve it. While he was out of the hunting line another covey was flushed and Cheney swung on a bird and fired striking Whittington in the face, neck and chest at approximately 30 yards. Lydia Saldaña, spokeswoman for the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, said Cheney would also receive a warning citation because he did not have the proper upland game bird stamp required to hunt quail, but that he would not be fined. The game warden's report contradicts earlier claims from the White House and Katharine Armstrong, the owner of the Texas ranch where the shooting occurred. Earlier Monday, the White House cited Armstrong's view that Whittington was at fault. She pointed out that the protocol was not followed by Mr. Whittington when it came to notifying the others that he was there, said White House spokesman Scott McClellan. Some hunting groups chastised the vice president. It's incumbent upon the shooter to assess the situation and make sure it's a safe shot, Mark Birkhauser, president-elect of the International Hunter Education Association, told the Associated Press. The Corpus Christi Caller-Times, the paper that first broke the story, identified the third hunter in the party as Pamela Willeford, the U.S. Ambassador to Switzerland and Liechtenstein and a former chairman of the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board. Cheney's office would not confirm the report that Willeford was the third hunter. --Christopher Conkey On 2/14/06 11:33 AM, Rich Thomas [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The shootee walked into the field of fire without announcing his presence, a dumb maneuver and he should have known better or should have stayed on the porch.

Re: [MBZ] some info please
Hello,
O checked with my friend and his 79 240D is still for sale. It's actually
his daughters neighbors car but he used to own it. We believe it has a dead
battery - the owner had to move back to Germany and left without replacing
the battery -
It's in very good condition w/150k miles IIRC, and we'd just like someone to
get it who will take care of it and get some use out of it. It's yellow
with brown interior IIRC - and they're asking $500 but would probably take
$300.
Let me know if you want more info -
It's located in Richmond, Va.
If it doesn't go soom I'll probably get it --
But I want a newer MB not another old one. ;-)

Thanx for your reply .. Joe 123 chassis 300Ds 1982-1985 are powered by the venerable 617.952 3 litre turbodiesel. Basically a bullet-proof engine. This same engine (except for the oil filter housing) is also found in the 1981-1985 300SD which is a 126 chassis. An earlier version is also found in the 116 chassis 300SD 1980 cut-off. Some of these earlier engines were purported to have soft camshafts. I'm not sure if the earlier turbodiesels were affected. Mine runs better than all the later versions I have.

I believe the hard cams were a mid-year substitution in 1979 on 616 and 617. My 1979 was made in the summer of 79 and has the hard cam. In 1980, the cams got more lift and duration, and rated power went up about 10% across the line. What year is your 116? I don't think the 116 ever got EGR, which should make a 1980 feel stronger than the average 126 or 123 turbo. My '79 w116 can peel out from a standing start, but isn't that fast, it runs out of breath pretty quick at higher rpm. Gets 27 mpg at 80mph.

The news reports are kind of vague. The more recent one I saw said that the pellet had traveled to his heart, which might be more accurate. I'm a bit surprised to see everyone take it as a given that no charges would be filed. If someone dies in a traffic accident it's pretty common for vehicular manslaughter charges to be filed. Are people just more accepting of hunting deaths as an inevitability?

You need to remove the grillwork under the windshield, loosen the section of firewall behind the engine to allow it to move forward, remove the wiper assembly (5 nuts as I recall) and THEN open the blower housing to get to the motor. First time I did one it took 4+ hours. I finally got it down to a little more than 1/2 hour. I'd guess they'd want $50-75 for a used blower motor (new is more than double that).

Re: [MBZ] 201 heater fan
Thanks Marshall, I was thinking $50 to 75 for the motor. 2-4 hours is ok for a first attempt. I think i figured 4 hours to take out the heater in a 110/111 and replace the short hoses between the valve and the core, and re-o-ring and lube the valves and put new hoses through the firewall and put it all back together. It was a good all day saturday project because I'd always find other things to work on too. Great for one of those days like today when it got up to 63 here in the tundra!

I also can't recall criminal charges in a vehicle crash that didn't involve death, and usually only if alcohol, drugs, racing, fleeing eluding, or joy riding are involved. I do know somebody who got put on a restricted license for a year because he fell asleep and killed two people. He could only drive to and from work during that year. I think he was criminally charged, negligent driving causing death or similar, but I don't know what he pled guilty to.
