Re: [MBZ] Ign Switch / GP Relay / Preglow Light (Was delivery valveproject)
Larry, I have had to replace the wiring harness (Stealer did it) for my left headlight-they had replacement part and said it was common. Don't recall the price but not g bad. I have had no other problems with wiring yet. There is a nationally known wiring harness company down the road here -they make harnesses for antique cars-they might have one- http://www.riwire.com/ Forner lister John peterson put anew underhood harness in one of his 124's-I think it was the E420-not sure if he got it at stealer or here.

Well, Kaleb, I have an '94 E420 (with a 129 engine), not a 400E. I am looking at replacing the power steering hoses, both the high-pressure side and the low-pressure side. I did look at what it would take to get the hoses disconnected from the power steering box and out, and it looked somewhat on the difficult side. It did seem that it wouldn't be as hard as getting the power steering pump out, but with it being cold as it has in the garage, I haven't gotten up the gumption to tackle it.

Re: [MBZ] Ign Switch / GP Relay / Preglow Light (Was delivery valveproject)
Someone can post the fats, but my memory is that the biodegradable harnesses were 93-96.

Evidence on list from the last couple of years indicates that the Diesel harnesses are beginning to degrade, or the list is populated by nervous nellies. I tend to think the former, though the latter may be true in some cases. It is the engine harness that goes first.

Re: [MBZ] Ign Switch / GP Relay / Preglow Light (Was delivery valve project)
The ignition switch symptom is a GP light that behaves just as if you'd restarted the car at that instant. If it's acting weirder than that, it'd probably have to be the relay itself. The ignition switch is, naturally enough, hanging off the back side of the ignition steering lock.

Re: [MBZ] Ign Switch / GP Relay / Preglow Light (Was delivery valveproject)
The only thing preventing me from ordering a new Relay from Rusty and being done with it is the nagging feeling that this was a coincidental failure that occurred the same time as I completed the repairs to the DV's. I am always suspicious of coincidences. But I've looked at everything I have disturbed (twice or more) as well as all other possible problems cannot see anything that might be a problem..

Re: [MBZ] Delivery Valves Glow Plugs
They are only good for TTL and CMOS digital logic. That noise could be due to a bad ground someplace... How is the chassis to engine ground? They seem to get pretty grotty with the tin plated phosphor bronze between a steel bolt and an aluminium bell housing. Other than flaky components, I'd guess a flaky connection or dirty power... What's the fluke say when you put it on the battery... Do dc+ac so that you can look at the ripple... Also, turn off the 4th digit in setup to get a bit faster response time... If you get any significant ac component, do a frequency measurement and see if it goes up when engine rpm goes up and down when the engine rpm goes down (indicating a bad diode in the alternator...

Re: [MBZ] 124 rear suspension
I thought I had some bad links in the back of the TE but it turns out one of the big nuts holding the hub to the axle had come loose and thus one of the rear wheels was wobbling, tighten that nut up and banged it well into the locking groove. Good as gold now. Hendrik who has a big socket set and big hammers Dieselhead wrote: If the front subframe mounts are loose, will that change the alignment as the subframe changes angle in reference to the road? I put new links on last year, but it has been squirrely ever since. (But not as bad as before) It seems to me that because all the links attach to the subframe, that the geometry should stay the same. Most of the time it is ok, but if you take your eyes off the road for a sec , it decides to steer with the rear axle, and you are drifting right or left. The front mounts are clearly busted, as the rubber has polished the bolted in center from moving up and down. Replacing the mounts is next, but I am trying to figure out if I am missing something else.

I tried the other evening to load up Netflix on it, and it kept telling me it couldn't work because I had an old OS (didn't) and old version of Firefox (didn't). Then I discovered I needed to load some MSFT viewer as a plug-in, which I did about 10 times and it wouldn't take. Another hour or so digging with google to try to find out why this damn thing wouldn't show a movie (Netflix help was useless), I found an obscure procedure wherein I needed to go create some new user profile and then try it again, which worked, finally. I am not sure who is the bigger idiot in this exercise, Netflix or Apple (not me) but it was a PITA. I did not go back to the original user profile to see if by doing the download in the new user took in the original user (it was just loading a plug-in to FF and I guess Safari, nothing very exotic). So 2 hours of screwing around with something about mac's peculiarities finally got me to be able to see a netflix movie at midnight by which time it was time to go to bed. They are so easy Windows is abysmal (OK, that is true, but I can't see where mac is particularly better, especially on some simple aspect like loading a plug-in in a browser) THough I will admit that plugging it into the Samsung LCD TV with a DVI-HDMI cable took just a few minutes of fooling with output resolutions to get a half decent pic on the TV, which is what we wanted to watch a movie on. --R On 3/10/2010 10:02 AM, Alex Chamberlain wrote: On Wed, Mar 10, 2010 at 6:11 AM, Rich Thomas richthomas79td...@constructivity.net wrote: http://charleston.craigslist.org/sys/1637027253.html Those Lisas are worth a few hundred bucks apiece at least on fleaBay.

[MBZ] OM603 Bits needed
Someone took off bits from the engine in my SDL. I am looking for the 3 metal tabs the are bolted to the intake manifold, and the plastic clips for the back 3 injection lines clip into them. There is also a metal clip that is supposed to bolt under the manifold and holds the back three lines. I need that also. Some genius decided the engine was not supposed to have them, so they took off the hardware to stabilize the injection lines.You might get by with that for a while on the old heavy, short lines, but not with the long, light lines of the OM603 If anyone (Kaleb?) has these around on a spare engine, I sure would like to have them on my engine.

[MBZ] Unknown Part
Hi Rusty - I'm trying to identify a part I need - it's part of the accelerator linkage and located above #5 GP. It has a square electrical plug attached to the drivers side of the switch and it has two little rollers that contact part of the linkage that rotates as the pedal is pushed causing the rollers to move. One of the rollers has a flat spot. It looks almost like a Thermo-tine (sp?) device. I looked at EPC and the WSM without any luck. I will ask the list in he hopes they know what it is.
