Re: [MBZ] Hendrik and Co coming to the US of A in June A BIG THANK YOU
Caveat: All that follows can differ from state to state and even county to county. Kids in bars - depends on the bar (and county, state). There are many family-friendly establishments that serve alcohol as well as food. Generally a bar that only serves alcohol will frown upon non-paying underage customers (big fines and potential loss of license if the kid gets a drop, no matter if provided by Mom or Pop). So, if you'd like a beer or bottle of wine, that's a different liquor license (usually), easier to find at restaurants. If you need a Scotch, fewer choices but still many restaurants that have a bar 'attached' and can bring that scotch to your table for a meal with the family. Sorry I cannot help with recommending any good brands of Scotch, I'd venture to guess that anything you can find in Australia can be found here - maybe if you real off a few choices some one can chime in and let us know. Beer - already a hot thread topic - almost as bad as an Oil Thread - I generally stick with local micro-brews where ever I go, usually more pricey but always more interesting!

Re: [MBZ] Hendrik and Co coming to the US of A in June
Service on all U.S. airlines has declined significantly in my opinion, by which I mean that they'll charge you for food, for bags, for changing your itinerary, and when they wrong you they are generally unwilling to 'make amends'. If you suffer a 'weather delay' which really inconveniences you, for instance you've checked your bags and cannot retrieve them but must wait overnight for the flight, expect to have to be very firm (always polite of course) about asking directly for a tooth brush etc. and don't hesitate to elevate up the chain of command. Sadly the Traveler's Aid desks are becoming more and more important in America - years ago the airlines would provide overnight lodging in such a situation. -Max -Original Message- From: mercedes-boun...@okiebenz.com [mailto:mercedes-boun...@okiebenz.com] On Behalf Of Hendrik Fay Sent: Monday, February 22, 2010 8:53 PM To: Mercedes Discussion List Subject: Re: [MBZ] Hendrik and Co coming to the US of A in June Could be an adventure for the children!

It's obvious how it works once you get the back of the seat off. I should add, DO NOT force the headrests down or you will break the mechanism further, beyond the point where the cable-tie fix works, and the little plastic bits probably cost a pretty penny from M-B.

The cheapo fix is to take the back off the seat (the whole panel slides upward and off) and attach the plastic part that has separated from the rods back where it should be with cable ties. It's obvious how it works once you get the back of the seat off. Or the switch could just need a good cleaning.

Re: [MBZ] Fuel Tank Screen
On the 84SD I used some channel locks trying to turn off the reducer/hose coming off the tank screen, and the whole thing, screen and all came off easily.I think you could probably fit a wrench up in there to turn it, forget what size. I went to Sears and bought a big socket to try to get the tank filter nut off, but didn't need it, and probably could not have fit it up in there anyway (and I think it was the wrong size too). I would suggest using channel locks but it was fairly tight up in there on the SD. --R On 2/23/2010 3:18 PM, archer wrote: Has anyone ever eliminated the filter screen in the tank and put a truck type screw-on filter under the hood to take it's place?

One of the questions someone asked is whether there actually is a Happy Days diner in Milwaukee (I think it was called Big Al's in the show)? Not too sure about this fake docs thingo, could be a tad dicey with homeland security and stuff.

If you fly into CHicago, you should see the Museum of science and industry, which is modeled after the deutschesmuseum in Munich. there is train service from Chicago to Milwaukee. Milwaukee used to be a lot of fun. Because of its German and Polish Heritage, it was more a collection of small towns rather than a big city. I have not been there much for the past 25 years, and I know it has changed with the influx of mexicans. In general, you want to stay out of the south 'burbs of chiago, and also the south side of Milwaukee. I think Plan A will be much more satisfying, if you can learn to drive on the right side of the road. LaCrosse is a nice place and should be pretty that time of year. YOU should see who among the list will gibe you a permanent address in the US. I think I can, but there may be others who can do better for you. Plan A1 can be to buy fa ke do cs with a mexican name and drive around with out insurance like all our Illegals do. That way you not only can disregard all the traffic laws, but you can literally get away with murder too. I think Heileman still has a brewery in LaCrosse. We have cottage in N. Wiconsin and you could stay there for a week or so if you can spare the time. I'd skip NY to spend a week at the lake. Since I am allergic to that evil weed that you like to burn, you'll have to burn em outside the cottage too. But unless it is rainy, you don't need to be inside much there. There is a small boat and a canoe there too. It is a private lake, so you can generally fish without worrying about a license.

If you are lucky, you may be able to go onboard the Delta Queen or the Mississippi Queen while they are stopped.

Don't know if you have ready any of his books, but almost every red blooded american boy has. If you go to Lost Wages (vegas) there are junkyards out by the race track (air force base) that have lots of MB goodies. The PNP is generally good. YOu will need a car to get there. You can ship your goodies back to OZ. The train ride between chicago and Oakland, CA is spectacular!

Re: [MBZ] Fuel Tank Screen
I used a vice grip to turn the big nut. I would not recommend removing the screen. It is pretty course and you don't want that big crap in the lines. In Normal operation with clean fuel (and a clean tank) the screen should never get plugged. If it does, you have other problems. In boats (with big tanks) it's not unusual to have fuel in the tanks for long periods. The marine guys have a technique called polishing where they pump the fuel through a series of external filters. This can take several hours depending on tank size. But with a small auto tank, I'd just us up most of the fuel and drain it through the filter hole. If a lot of crud comes out you probably want to get a pro to drop and purge the tank. -Original Message- From: mercedes-boun...@okiebenz.com [mailto:mercedes-boun...@okiebenz.com] On Behalf Of archer Sent: Tuesday, February 23, 2010 15:19 To: Mercedes Discussion List Subject: [MBZ] Fuel Tank Screen Has anyone ever eliminated the filter screen in the tank and put a truck type screw-on filter under the hood to take it's place?

Re: [MBZ] The Prodigal Son Returns!
You might want to take it to a body or glass shop. You can remove the door liner first. the big problem is that generally one small piece of glass stays lodged in the track somewhere and screeches every time the window goes up or down. I have had one like that for 30 years. If the shop can replace the track whil e they re at it, it might be worth the price. I can't remember how the glass goes in or out.

Re: [MBZ] Fuel Tank Screen
On Tue, 23 Feb 2010 22:08:46 -0600 Dieselhead 126die...@gmail.com wrote: I've hear of it, but not done it. I think the socket is 1 5/8 or a near mm size. From my time in Texas: General The sender (on top of the tank, accessable by removing the first aid kit) and the strainer (accessable from under the car) both measure 1.804 across the flats. This is 45.82mm and implies one would use a 46mm (1.811) or 1 13/16 (1.813) socket. If you have a large enough crescent or monkey wrench, you might be able to loosen it from inside the trunk. I didn't try this, I just removed the tank, since my car had been sitting a year-and-a-half outside here in hot, muggy Texas and I wanted to take care of any algae that might have accumulated in it. Tank Removal To remove the tank I followed this procedure: 1. Slide a large piece of cardboard under the car in the area of the fuel tank and differential to catch any fuel spills. 2. Remove the fuel tank filler cap. 3. Slide under the car from behind the passenger side rear wheel and pinch the middle of the fuel supply hose between the strainer and the metal tube that goes to the engine compartment with a pair of vise grips. 4. Disconnect the supply hose from the metal tube. 5. Place a clean, dry 1 gallon plastic milk jug on a short piece of 2x8 and put the end of the supply hose in its mouth. 6. Open the vise grips and fill the jug. Close the vise grips when the jug is full. 7. Repeat steps 4 and 5 until the tank is empty. 8. Plug the end of the fuel supply hose with a 5/16 or 8mm bolt and remove the vise grips. 9. Slide across to the left side of the car and disconnect the rubber vent line hose from its metal tube that goes to the front of the car. The vent line is the larger diameter of the two hoses. 10. Pinch the fuel return line hose (the smaller of the two hoses) with the vise grips. 11. Remove the fuel return line hose from its metal tube and plug the hose with a 5/16 or 8mm bolt. Remove the vise grips. 12. Slide out from under the car, get in the back seat, and remove the first aid kit. 13. Remove the plastic wheel wellprotector from the passenger side of the trunk. 14. Remove the rubber ring between the fuel tank filler neck and the body. This is most readily accomplished by grasping the ring on the outside of the body with a pair of pliers and pulling while pushing on the inside of the ring from inside the trunk with your fingers. I found that the front edge of the ring was the easiest to get started. 15. Remove the four tank holding nuts and washers. 16. Get in the trunk. 17. Starting at the left side of the tank, lift the tank and pull the top edge forward. 18. Struggle a lot while lifting and pulling, wondering if it will ever come out, until it finally does come out. 19. Put the filler cap back on the filler neck. 20. Lay the tank down on a large piece of cardboard. Now the fuel gauge sender is trivial to remove with a wrench. If you remove the tank-to-body seal from around the strainer, the strainer is also trivial to remove with a wrench. 21. If you remove both the strainer and the sender, you can shine a bright light in the strainer hole and inspect the inside of the tank from the sender hole. Cleaning Sender The sender has a small nylon cylinder in the middle of its flat bottom that holds the bottom on. Grasp this gently with a pair of pliers and rotate it counterclockwise to remove it. The metal plate of the bottom will now come off easily and it can be wiped with a paper towel to get the algae off it. Next is the rubber gasket. Its top side will harbor some amount of algae goo, but it can be wiped clean as well. At this point the metal cylinder that forms the outside of the sender can be carefully pulled away from the threaded head, revealing the sender mechanism. The tube can be readily cleaned inside and out with paper towels rubbed on the outside and pushed through the inside as in cleaning a gun's barrel. The sender mechanism consists of two fine silver colored wires and one larger, though not very large, copper colored wire stretched between the threaded head and a spreader at the bottom. The spreader at the bottom is held away from the threaded head by a central steel support rod. The spreader has contacts for the reserve light and, since it's horizontal, will also have an accumulation of goo. An old toothbrush dipped in diesel will be helpful in cleaning the spreader and its contacts. Take a clean paper towel and VERY CAREFULLY pinch with it one of the three wires at the top near the head and pull toward the spreader, being careful to not pull the wire to the side.
