[Hendrik & Fay]

They probably still have them as front line aircraft, while we wait for 
the you beaut joint strike fighter from you lot (I think it is supposed 
to zero in on hippies with reefers).
There are also a couple of tiger moths for pilot training.
However it doesn't really matter because the pilots are all off driving 
buses for budget airlines, seems fair, the taxpayer pays for their 
training and then they give the benefit of their experience to some 
wonky fly by night outfit.

Hendrik
not a pilot but flies off the handle now and then

Re: [MBZ] Some issues with Stella

[R Wasser]

Bill,
The vent issue sounds like either a vacuum problem or the vacuum pods
controlling the vents are going bad. You could check them with a mity vac to
ensure they are good.

New front fenders are pretty cheap. Try Rusty or search the net. I have one
in my shed which wasn't used on a rebuild project. I think it is the left
one. I'm in Michigan if you are interested.

[MBZ] Using Oil

[Robert Rentfro]

My 300D is now using one quart of oil every tank of fuel (usually 320 miles
or so). Using dingo juice. It not leaking out anywhere and it's not being
pumped out by a haywire vacuum pump. The thing is running great.

What am I risking breaking if I continue to drive this thing with that oil
usage? This usage rate has been very consistent lately. It does get a bit
less when I say off the freeway.

Re: [MBZ] Yellowcake:

[Royce Engler]

Peter said

The presence of the yellowcake AND its removal was well covered by  
the press...

Yep, sort of.  I first heard of it from an article in the Washington
Pest...As it turns out, I work for a company called ABS Nautical Systems.
We sell software to the maritime industry for managing maintenance on
ships...one of our largest customers is the U.S. Maritime Administration,
which manages the Ready Reserve Fleet.  One of those ships, SS Gopher State
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_Gopher_State_(T-ACS-4) was activated not
long ago...we didn't know where she was going, but it's not unusual for one
of these ships to be activated to move a shipment either to or from Iraq.
Afterwards, my contact at MARAD confirmed the story.   Gopher State sailed
to Diego Garcia, picked up the yellowcake and took it to Montreal to deliver
to the Canadian processing company.

Re: [MBZ] Some issues with Stella

[Curt Raymond]

I'm still up so I'll take a stab.

I'd guess your speedo cable has fallen out. Any thrashing noises behind the 
pod? The only way you'll know is to take the pod out and have a see.

On mileage, is the temp coming up to around the middle (80c)? If not that'll 
hold the mileage down, you also might check to see if you have a sticking 
brake. After a highway run feel each wheel (carefully!) if one is significantly 
hotter than the others its probably a sticking brake.
Marshall always said clogged fuel filters would make mileage go down. Even he 
admitted that one didn't seem to make sense. The airfilter does make sense 
though as does making sure the valves and timing are spot on.

Of course you can always check your tire pressure. ;)

To: 
Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Content-Type: text/plain;    charset="us-ascii"

Stella (1985 300TD) has a few issues that I could use some help with.  Here
we go!

I was driving down the highway the other day and the Speedometer suddenly
plummeted to 0.  The Odometer, which had been spotty anyway, now doesn't
work at all.  Is there a somewhat easy fix for the Speedometer?  

My Cruise Control doesn't work sometimes.  However, if I hold up on Accel,
it will, indeed, accelerate.  Suggestions?

My AC works great.  Actually, it freezes my testicles on long trips
(cryo-storage).  Sometimes, though, the vents in the center console don't
blow but the two outside vents do.  When I left her in the garage two days
ago, she was blowin' out all four.  This isn't a huge deal, but I know
someone knows what to do!

My mileage kinda sucks.  I know I cannot expect to get good gas mileage on
the highway going 80 or 85 with the AC on full blast, but I was getting 21.8
and I had hoped to get better out of the diesel.  Any ideas on how I could
squeak a few more MPG out of her?

I have a couple of places on the car that are rusting out.  Does anyone know
a place to buy, say, a whole front fender?

All right.  I suppose that is it for now!  Thanks for the help!

Bill

Re: [MBZ] Some issues with Stella

[Peter Frederick]

First, if the speedo doesn't register, most likely the cable is  
broken, so no odometer or speed control -- both driven off the cable  
in the speedo head.  It's possible the speedo head went bad, but very  
unlikely, it's just a magnet and a disk and a bushing.  The odometer  
may or may not work when you put a new cable in.

The AC blows out the center vents only part of the time, depending on  
temperature.  You will need to check the vacuum servos to make sure,  
but if the outside temp is close to the setting on the dial, you will  
get no center vents.

Use the temperature wheel to set desired temp.  If you only get AC  
with the temp wheel all the way cold, you have a climate control  
problem, likely a bad interior temp sensor.

If your odometer is not accurate, you cannot easily determine you  
milage unless you fill up, make a decent trip of known milage, then  
fill up again  That's how I found out my "new" 87 300D was getting  
better than 30 mpg -- a trip to Ft. Wayne of 300 miles, filled up as  
I was leaving and again while I was there, used 9.6 gal of fuel.
The odometer will slip (and won't work if the cable is messed up)  
before it goes completely dead.

Check tires, brakes for drag (especially parking brake), wheel  
bearings, injection timing, transmission for slip (a milage killer  
for sure) and front end alignment.  21 mpg on the highway, something  
is wrong, should be at least 25.

Don't now about price of rebuild, but I do know two things-these are some of
finest MB diesels (I own one) -and around here-NE they are scarce and pricey
so a rebuild might well be worth it.  Have you done the tranny>?

Performance products has kits and long blocks and short blocks-or they used
to. If you get a long block there are some cheap engine shipping companies
out there-200 IIRC.

My '90 2.5L turbo is in serious need of a head gasket. It is also making a
distrubing knocking noise at idle from deep inside the engine. Since I'm
going to bear the brunt of the head gasket repair my Indy suggested
comparing the cost to an entire engine rebuild. Does anyone know of an
outfit selling a kit of parts for a rebuild of this engine? Rusty only sells
individual pieces. The car has 225k on the clock, is rust free and has had
most of the maintenance type items rebuilt or replaced in the last 50K.
Maybe a rebuild is over the top but I would like to compare the costs. Any
thoughts or comments would be appreciated.

Spotty vent control?  Either cracked vacuum diaphragms, or
bad solder joints in the ACC pushbutton array.

Advance the timing a bit?  Check brakes for dragging.  Make

Part
of the Bush tax cuts was a $1000 tax CREDIT per child up to $2000
dollars. It is gradually phased out after $75000 a year for single
parents and I don't know the income for couples. That is a tax increase
on the LOWER MIDDLE class and the WORKING POOR.

Re: [MBZ] OT ozguns

[Gary Hurst]

hey, i wish i lived in a civilized part of the world myself, but i don't.
ilive in a place where decades of curious public policy has created an
extremely violent underclass that has little issue with murder.   i live in
a place where one , if not the main,  source of order is a heavily armed
populace.  i live where police often do not nor will not nor even desires to
protect you.  rather than wonder whether or not my life would be better off
in japan or sweden or australia or holland, i just accept the facts and
adapt to them as best i can.

the idea that taking my guns makes the world safer rather than more
dangerous does not seem to make any sense to me.

Re: [MBZ] 190e Wiper motor A-1

[Rob]

Got the wiper motor today from an ebayer.
Hooked it all up and it works like charm.
Waiting for a "sliding jaw" clip from the dealer before I can close it up.
This is the clip that slides up and down the rail inside the door.
 
Assuming that the same problem lies ahead in the passenger rear door,
does anyone have a good used motor? 86 190e right rear door.
 
Thanks-

[MBZ] Potential engine rebuild

[R Wasser]

My '90 2.5L turbo is in serious need of a head gasket. It is also making a
distrubing knocking noise at idle from deep inside the engine. Since I'm
going to bear the brunt of the head gasket repair my Indy suggested
comparing the cost to an entire engine rebuild. Does anyone know of an
outfit selling a kit of parts for a rebuild of this engine? Rusty only sells
individual pieces. The car has 225k on the clock, is rust free and has had
most of the maintenance type items rebuilt or replaced in the last 50K.
Maybe a rebuild is over the top but I would like to compare the costs. Any
thoughts or comments would be appreciated.

[MBZ] Some issues with Stella

[Bill Dunaway]

Stella (1985 300TD) has a few issues that I could use some help with.  Here
we go!

I was driving down the highway the other day and the Speedometer suddenly
plummeted to 0.  The Odometer, which had been spotty anyway, now doesn't
work at all.  Is there a somewhat easy fix for the Speedometer?  

My Cruise Control doesn't work sometimes.  However, if I hold up on Accel,
it will, indeed, accelerate.  Suggestions?

My AC works great.  Actually, it freezes my testicles on long trips
(cryo-storage).  Sometimes, though, the vents in the center console don't
blow but the two outside vents do.  When I left her in the garage two days
ago, she was blowin' out all four.  This isn't a huge deal, but I know
someone knows what to do!

My mileage kinda sucks.  I know I cannot expect to get good gas mileage on
the highway going 80 or 85 with the AC on full blast, but I was getting 21.8
and I had hoped to get better out of the diesel.  Any ideas on how I could
squeak a few more MPG out of her?

I have a couple of places on the car that are rusting out.  Does anyone know
a place to buy, say, a whole front fender?

All right.  I suppose that is it for now!  Thanks for the help!

Bill

[MBZ] OT ozguns

[Hendrik & Fay]

Not really sure how we'll pay for it but in effect the ban was intended 
to get rid of automatic and some semi-automatic weapons and tighten up 
the laws relating to ownership of non automatic rifles and handguns. It 
is still possible to own firearms but it is more difficult.
For instance I could go downtown to a firing range and blast away with 
handguns ranging from 22 caliber up to the 44 magnum. No license 
required. I could join a rifle shooting club and blast away as much as I 
want but I can't go out and buy an assault rifle and then put it in the 
broom closet ready to go, just in case. Which was the scenario that lead 
to the ban.
Sure mate, come on over but leave your weapons at home, like I said we 
have a firing range in case you get the urge to hold onto a tool of death.

Re: [MBZ] leave it to ebay to screw sellers, raise their prices, and try to disguise it as a price drop

[Hendrik & Fay]

Perhaps some of the reasons for the general dislike of GWB is that he is 
aggressive, picks on the weak and is not a team player.
The world looks for hope buts gets a gun shoved into it's hands instead.
Far as the yellow cake goes, not really a weapon is it, don't know if it 
can even be used in a dirty bomb.
Far as I remember the reasons for invasion where that Iraq had WMD 
(particularly biological types) and was going to/had given these to 
terrorists, to use against the west.
The reason I reckon the story about the yellowcake was not widely 
reported is that people would have laughed and the government would have 
looked very desperate.
To give some context, South Australia is one of the worlds largest 
suppliers of uranium and we got semi loads of the stuff being shipped 
every year. If it was so dangerous in it's natural state I would think 
that an armed escort would be provided and facilities where it is stored 
would be guarded like Fort Knox.

German Bosch plugs are still available; I bought some today.  The plugs

in an M199.

Re: [MBZ] Plugs

[Tyler Backman]

I've never seen an 80s Volvo run well for more than a week with  
Platinum plugs. Their fuel systems (especially on turbo or k-jet  
models) tend to run rich, which fouls the platinum plugs. Maybe a late  
80s non-turbo model (lh 2.4 or newer) would run OK with platinum  
plugs. The Bosch copper plugs leak combustion gasses, which will  
destroy the plug wires.

Re: [MBZ] Barry O'Bama

[Curt Raymond]

The Bush tax credit is subsidizing children and an underhanded tax on people 
who don't have them. The poor, working or not, would do better with classes 
teaching them how its cheaper to not have children then to have them tax credit 
or no.

Why don't I get a tax credit for the kids I don't have that aren't taking up 
space in public schools or afterschool programs. These kids I don't have won't 
turn into delinquents and tie up our judicial system either...

Part
of the Bush tax cuts was a $1000 tax CREDIT per child up to $2000
dollars. It is gradually phased out after $75000 a year for single
parents and I don't know the income for couples. That is a tax increase
on the LOWER MIDDLE class and the WORKING POOR.

I would use Bosch, as they were original.  May have some digging to  
do to find non-resistor non-platinum plugs, though (although the  
platinums will work fine).  NKG if you can't fine Bosch.  Don't use  
Champions, they don't work well in a Volvo.

Re: [MBZ] Yellowcake: was: Re: leave it to ebay to screw sellers, raise their prices, and try to disguise it as a price drop

[Peter Frederick]

The presence of the yellowcake AND its removal was well covered by  
the press, including the massive contamination in the area resulting  
from the Iraqis (who didn't know what it was) dumping the stuff out  
of drums and using the drums to catch rainwater for drinking, in the  
process giving them some rather nasty potential future health problems.

Never underestimate the dishonesty of the extreme right wing press.   
All yellowcake shipments are highly secure, it's outright toxic along  
with radioactive enough to cause serious health problems, so it's  
always handled rather tightly.  There is no non-government  
trafficing, either, as only governments or their contract agents do  
anything with it (namely enrich it for use in reactors or weapons).

That particular stuff has been sitting around since the 80s, and is  
NOT a nuclear weapon, simply highly concentrated unenriched uranium  
compounds (don't remember exactly what, it's not raw ore).  It has to  
be converted to uranium hexafluoride and "enriched" to remove the non- 
radioactive isotope to be used as a weapon, and Iraq gave up on that  
a long, long time ago.

Use NGK copper plugs, at the correct factory temperature rating.

Some people use Bosch plugs, but they are crap IMO. They tend to leak  
exhaust gasses past the crimp on the insulator.

[MBZ] W201 190D Transmission vacuum diagram/advice needed

[Tyler Backman]

The 124 FSM pages on adjusting the transmission would be very helpful!  
If you can send them I would be very grateful.

I do have a W201 manual on adjusting the throttle linkage. It's weird,  
but I tried adjusting the valve on the IP to both extremes, and  
couldn't notice any difference in how the transmission shifted, or how  
the vacuum responded regardless of how I adjusted it.

Thanks,
Tyler

Tyler, if you haven't figured it out by then, when I get home tonight
(in about six hours) I will be happy to look at the setup of my '87
which I imagine is pretty similar to yours (though it's a 603 engine),
and tell you what line goes where.

I can email you the PDFs from the 124 FSM that explain adjustment of
the IP valve and modulator, but I can tell you from experience that
there is not much point in messing with the IP valve unless you have
the accelerator linkages adjusted by the book---the whole system is
interdependent and you have to start in the right place or you'll just
be chasing your tail making repeated adjustments that throw something
else off.

Try searching on the mercedesshop.com forums for "87 300D transmission
adjustment' or some such---since there are a lot more '87 W124 diesels
than '87 201 diesels like yours out there, there is likely to be more
info.  I know there are some pretty helpful threads on there.

Re: [MBZ] W201 190D Transmission vacuum diagram/advice needed

[Tyler Backman]

I have the vacuum amplifier unit, which as far as I can tell "builds"  
the modulator output from 3 inputs: turbo boost, IP valve/regulator,  
and vacuum pump vacuum. What I don't know is:
-Which hose connects to which port on the amplifier?
-How do I know if the IP valve/regulator is adjusted properly, and how  
do I adjust it?
-How do I know if the modulator on the transmission itself is adjusted  
properly, and how do I adjust it?

I *think* I have it hooked up properly, but no matter how I set the IP  
valve/regulator, it's pressure never drops below 2psi at WOT (I heard  
it's supposed to hit 0psi), and the pressure at the modulator never  
drops below 10psi (I heard it's supposed to hit 0psi also). If I  
disconnect the IP valve/regulator so that it's input is 0psi, then the  
pressure at the transmission modulator drops to 5psi (what it should  
at 0psi of boost), but it takes quite a while to do so, probably  
longer than it should??!!

If I can't get ahold of a factory manual or anything, I might try to  
make some sort of "bleed off" system, so that the IP valve/regulator  
hits 0psi at WOT.

I wish mercedes had just used a simple kickdown cable system like  
every other diesel vehicle with an automatic :( On the bright side, if  
my efforts are wasted and I cannot fix the vacuum system before my  
transmission self-destructs, I will have justification to do a manual  
swap.

Thanks,
Tyler

Seems like there was a tranny shop which has vac diagrams on their web page.
At any rate, the tranny vac must go through a vac regulator on the IP, attached 
to the throttle linkage. If it's not obvious how to fix it, you would be better 
off driving 300 miles with no tranny vacuum than with a slipping tranny.

[MBZ] W201 190D Transmission vacuum diagram/advice needed

[Tyler Backman]

I have a 1987 190D Turbo, and the previous owners mechanic brilliantly  
"solved" a transmission control vacuum leak by hooking the  
transmission modulator directly to the vacuum pump, so it flared/ 
slipped like crazy but didn't shift harshly. I'm trying to reconnect  
everything properly, but can't seem to find a diagram that shows me  
what each port is on the vacuum amplifier, injector pump leak valve,  
etc. I have the Mercedes W201 manual CD, but it appears to make no  
mention of the transmission or vacuum system at all (which I find  
rather weird). Does anyone know where I could get this info? Even a  
W124 manual would be helpful!

By "guess and check" I was able to get it working somewhat, but  
pressure at the transmission modulator still doesn't drop to 0psi at  
WOT, and I'm a bit worried that I'm going to fry my transmission if I  
drive it with too much vacuum at the modulator.

I have to drive over 300 miles tomorrow, so I'm hoping to sort this  
out tonight :(

Part of the Bush tax cuts was a $1000 tax CREDIT per child up to $2000 dollars. 
It is gradually phased out after $75000 a year for single parents and I don't 
know the income for couples. That is a tax increase on the LOWER MIDDLE class 
and the WORKING POOR.

AND OBVIOUSLY YOU WERE THERE AND KNOW THERE WAS NO YELLOWCAKE!

A new concept of knowledge to me!

Btw, although it obviously has no relevance to you, the officer WAS 
there.  He saw the stuff.   But because you say it doesn't exist in 
your altered reality world, it doesn't exist!  Never did!

PLEASE pass the hominy!  You want to attack me because you refuse to 
accept what happened in reality.

Re: [MBZ] Yellowcake: was: Re: leave it to ebay to screw sellers, raise their prices, and try to disguise it as a price drop

[Rich Thomas]

And there were lots of trucks leaving Iraq in the days leading up to the 
initial attacks, gone to Syria and thence to where?  What were they 
carrying?  Why were they leaving at that time?

This info does not fit with the mainstream narrative; therefore, you 
will not read of it there.  I did see something about this a couple of 
weeks ago somewhere obscure.

If you will read it again, I said i got the info from first hand 
reports.  That means the guy I got the information from was standing 
right there.  That is first hand info.  He was there.  They moved the stuff.

If I saw it first hand, I would be the first hand source.

What was that about Hominy?

[MBZ] Yellowcake: was: Re: leave it to ebay to screw sellers, raise their prices, and try to disguise it as a price drop

[Loren Faeth]

I know this to be true form 1st hand reports.  The son of a guy I 
work with was one of the officers in charge of getting the yellowcake 
the H out of iraq and to Canada.  I have no reason to doubt this 
officer that it was there and it was moved.  It had been guarded and 
kept very quiet for all these years

Re: [MBZ] leave it to ebay to screw sellers, raise their prices, and try to disguise it as a price drop

[LarryT]

any logic to eBay not allowing sellers to give feedback to buyers except for 
positive?  least I think that's the way it works now -
not sure why it was changed - seemed like a good idea to let everyone know 
how others operated.

Then again, maybe it'll push some business back to the traditional ways of 
selling?  A lot of people will like that !

If it's an oil-less pump, you should use a trap and filter to protect
it from crud entering the intake.

[MBZ] Help!!! (again). Anyone know how to get stainless trim off 123 roof?

[Robert Bigham]

Help!!!  I need to get the little spear or scimitar-shaped piece of stainless 
trim off the roof of my 123 sedan right where the roof joins the belt line just 
behind the back door. 

Reason?  To fix rust hole right under tip of scimitar.  Part of getting ready 
for paint.

I have the FSM buried somewhere under tons of junk.

Anyone know how in twenty-five words or less?  Anyone know if it's in FSM?

Tnak all of you.

So how does one eliminate the moisture and crud that inevitably
gets into the oil in operation?  My JBI has fill and drain screws,
and a sight glass.  I forget the exact function of the bleeder screw,
but you're supposed to use it in operation.  If moisture in the oil
corroded the vanes in the pump then it wouldn't seal well, and
thusly not pump well.

Re: [MBZ] 560 SL battery drain

[Jim Cathey]

More leak chasing.  The schematic shows eight wires on Fuse 12, and
there are two ring terminals of four wires each, which bodes well for
the schematic being correct.  I put a test light in series with the
fuse power supply so that slips wouldn't cause big problems, and the
offensive current was still about 150 mA.  I then used the low-current
60 A AC/DC amp clamp (a one-time Christmas gift from my brother the
mechanic, perfect for digging around in a car's wiring harness as it
has much smaller jaws than my 400 A Fluke or the 2000 A OTC that I
just bought) and clamped it in turn around each wire in the offending
clump at Fuse 12.  One of the red wires was the culprit, which means
it's not the clock or diagnostic socket wire.  I then reversed the
test and grounded the offending ring terminal.  I went around the
car with a small 12 V battery in series with the test light.  I'd
ground the battery and then probe for power wires with the test light.
When the light lit up I'd look at the meter (on the dash) to see if
the current was going through the offending wire.  No joy at the back
of the car, nor at the courtesy lights, hazard switch, radio, or dome
light timer.  (All customers of Fuse 12.)  But when I popped out a
dome light I found my circuit!  At least it's a short (!) one, though
I was out of time to chase it further.

It's a 2 stage Gast pump that is sealed and you do not change the oil.  
To my knowledge, there is no bleeder screw.  I checked the vacuum of the 
pump with 2 different MV gauges and an independent gauge.  It might just 
be tired/worn out and in need of a rebuild.

Re: [MBZ] overpriced euro many wagon

[Curt Raymond]

Something is stinky about this one but I can't put my finger on it.
I had an '81 300TD that was a similar exterior color but mine was slightly 
darker which was much more pleasant...

I'd like a 4spd wagon with manual everything but not that much. I know where 
there is one I could probably have for $5k that has a greasecar kit in it.

Re: [MBZ] leave it to ebay to screw sellers, raise their prices, and try to disguise it as a price drop

The world knows Sadam needed killin'.  A large part of W's problem is how
MOST of IT has been screwed up since.  'Didn't finish Afghanistan, not
enough troops, left borders WIDE open, not enough troops, watched/allowed
looting and destruction of Iraqi infrastructure, not enough troops, did away
with all gov, all police and all military and sent all those well-trained
people home mad as Hell with no jobs and with all their weapons and ammo,
then started kicking in their doors and holding guns on their wives and
children, poured cash in indiscriminately.  BTW, did I mention not enough
troops?  (Lay some of that on Dictator Bremmer, but he was W's man.)

Is it a proper 2-stage vane pump?  Ever changed the oil?
Does it make that hollow rattling sound it's supposed to?
Do you have a bleeder screw on the pump that's stuck or
been left open?  Is your MV gauge all right?
