Re: [MBZ] Useful computer stuff this week

[Benz Hogs]

Google XP 9 in 1 and download the *.iso and burn it to a CD.  It's a 
bootable CD that contains 9 different versions of XP.  Select the one 
you wish to install based on your license key, and you're good to go. 
It's a great tool for computer admins that manage multiple different XP 
flavors, Home, Pro, MCE as I have under my care at the Y.

completely rid myself of MS except for a VM running the few
Windows-only programs that I need that don't play nice with Wine.

However, I've (luckily?) never had to install XP from scratch---always
used machines that have come with it from the factory.

Hence a dumb question: Am I right in thinking that the point of buying
a key-less XP disk, say this one:

would be to install it on a VM using a license key from another
computer that originally came with XP installed?  I have at least one
broken Thinkpad I bought for parts which  came with XP Professional.
Do I need an XP Home key for an XP Home disk, or will the XP Pro key
from the bottom of the Thinkpad work?  What's the difference between
Home and Pro, anyway?

[G Mann]

A call to your local gas company will answer that question, I'll bet.

The gas folks are very safety conscience and will have that info at their
finger tips for your local area.  Somewhere on your home gas regulator
there is a sealed adjustment they can "tune " to meet requirements. [do
resist the urge to try this yourself].

Viking is a serious bit of kitchen equipment with a high end purchase
price.. well supported by Viking for repair parts last contact I had with
them.
Enjoy it.   Hope you can cook. You just lost one excuse for not.

Um, yes - extended changes is what you do with that pricey artificial oil.
I have extended it as far as 22,530 klicks (OM603) and the analysis came
back fine. The suspended soot indicated it could have gone 50% more.

[MBZ] OT: anyone know about commercial cooking equipment?

[Allan Streib]

University is surplusing a 48" Viking commercial range.  Something
that's been on my "someday" list is to get a 48" range in the kitchen.
The label on the back specifies natural gas, 5" W.C., anyone know if
that's in the ballpark of a residential gas supply?

Far less, I would think. When my Porsche 944 developed startup lifter 
clatter, Mobil 1 stopped it in 200 miles. And it wasn't the lifter but the 
drainback check valve in the top of the block. Admittedly, the oil flow in the 
engine is not the same as an MB but the effect was the same. That is, the oil 
supply for the lifters had drained down through the pump into the crankcase. 
I was using Kendall GT-1 at the time.

Everything was silky-smooth for a year or so, just the last month or so
I've noticed the pulsation.  What is the technique for breaking in
new pads and discs?

The term comes from the sound of a hammer striking a large nail.   A short 
sharp "crack" with no regular pattern. It's a combustion noise caused by a 
less than perfect spray pattern due to an injector defect. Either water 
damage which is permanent or muck which can in theory be flushed out in situ. 

It is certainly not heard from deep in the block.

Nailing was the reason for thirteen injector replacements during my '78 
300D's warranty period and before I installed the water separator. In that car, 
it was heard mostly during low flow conditions, such as at idle or pulling 
away from a stop.

Re: [MBZ] Ceramic ATE brake pads

Pulsating brakes can be caused by not breaking in the new pads/discs, 
leaving a hot spot on the discs which wears differently from the rest of 
the disc.

Chinese rotors and/or internally failed brake lines (acting as a one way check valve, causing the brake pads to drag on the rotor, heating it up and warping it). Brake lines that are over 20 years old have probably out lived their service life.

For cars that get synthetic (my 240D will go to conventional in the spring) its 
5w40 around here from now on, except for the Ranger that specifically calls for 
5w30...

BTW M1 5w40 was $7.50 at Car Quest today. Royal Purple was $9.something, I 
forgot to check Lubromoly synthetic. I like our Car Quest because it has odd 
things like Lubromoly and Royal Purple that I never see at places like Autozone.

I should go back next week and get a case of the 5w40, the other thing I really 
like is they'll give me a discount (5 or 10% I forget) if I buy two cases at 
once.

[MBZ] 190d charging

[Kaleb C. Striplin]

Was checking some stuff on the kids 190d and was driving it down the street all 
the sudden the charging light comes on dim. So I check the voltage and it's 
about 13.5. Whats the spec with the engine running? Pulled the regulator did 
not appear way worn down to me but swapped in another with slightly longer 
contacts. Same thing. Swapped in another alternator with the swapped in 
regulator(so same alt and reg off parts car) and same thing. Both alternators 
have bosch rebuilt stickers on them. Should I trial and error with other 
alternators or get a new one? Or do I have a false light coming on? Does not 
seem low enough to turn the light on

I basically don't go to Autozone, Pep Boys, or the like anymore.  I go
to NAPA, or Car Quest, though here I prefer the NAPA shop.

Last "deal" I got at AZ was on oil and a filter, but that invoved
sending in separate rebate forms on the oil and the filter.  Sorry,
spending time filling out their little form, $0.40 postage and waiting 8
weeks for a $2.00 check, then taking that to the bank just isn't worth
it.  And I'm sure that's why they set it up that way.

That looks like my car's twin (except under the hood.)  I'm pretty sure 
the '97 had the full compliment of upgrades (except maybe for the center

That sounds like a great price if everything checks out.  These are 
really nice, reliable cars when kept properly.  Refreshing to see one 
not marketed as having bullet-proof glass by a ghetto used car dealer.


Tom

P.S. You can do a quick evap check on one of these even in winter.  With 
the car running and the climate control on Auto, press and hold the REST 
button until the display enters diag mode.  Press the left Auto button 
until you reach item seven, that's evaporator pressure in bar.  It 
should read three in cool weather with the compressor off and go as high 
as 14 or so when cycling.  Make sure it doesn't read zero.

Chinese rotors and/or internally failed brake lines (acting as a one way check

it). Brake lines that are over 20 years old have probably out lived their

It looks to me that the front end is high, meaning no engine.  So 
that + andrew's engine would likely still leave you short parts.  And 
you would be short the factory hydraulic pump for the suspension and 
a means to drive it.


My guess is the new filter and a valve adjust would cure the 300D. 
If it was closer it would be hard to pass.

Re: [MBZ] 240D blower control

[Curt Raymond]

Dug into the '78 240D today to replace the blower motor control. A quick Google 
shows Dimitri went through this a few years ago but nothing specific.

This job is a BASTARD since I couldn't figure out how to remove the plate the 
controls mount to, thus all your fiddling has to go through a 1 1/2" gap 
between that panel and where the radio is. Getting the old one out was bad, the 
cable (still don't know what its for) had siezed up. If I'd realized that 
before I could have lubricated it I think.

Once the old unit was out (turn the switch ON to extend and remove the cable) 
replacement was the opposite of removal except everything is harder because you 
can't see. Its hard to get the electric connected, hard to get the cable 
connected, hard to move everything into position and hard to be sure you've 
done it all right... GAH!

Anyway its all in now, the replacement came from Hammie (RIP), it makes me feel 
good to replace something with a part from one of my old cars.

I even had time to put in a replacement radio for the stupid Becker whatever it 
was that I HATED. This one is marked Becker Mexico CD Pro and I like is 
ergonomics much better. I need a manual bad though, I don't understand how to 
program presets for instance, or how to get it into manual tune mode.

Somebody had posted some time ago a website that listed the Beckers with their 
actual model numbers and pictures, does anybody have that link?

I would encourage the use of the M1 15W-50 (extended performance,

neck of the woods.  I have only found some maybe once in the last 3 
years.  Otherwise, the Delvac equivalent, or Delvac 1300 dino oil. 
in order of preference.

I have no evidence other than seat of the pants, but I have learned

In typical MS fashion, M$ has several editions, and the key only

Pro retail

 and probably more.

IF your tinkpad come from an enterprise environment, the key is

Re: [MBZ] Useful computer stuff this week

[Rich Thomas]

I have a purchased WinXP disk I got years ago at work, it has a key on 
the CD box and I use that on one machine.  I recently installed it on 
some other box (a Compaq), and used a key from a dead computer someone 
gave me (which is a system builders key on an old Compaq) , it phoned 
home and was happy.  My son had an old Acer laptop that was gorked, it 
had WinXP MCE on it, but he did not have the recovery disks and Acer no 
longer has images on their web site (per MSFT request!) so I found it on 
the tubes, downloaded WinXPMCE, burned it to a disk, and installed it, 
and used the key on the laptop -- it phoned home and is happy now.


I would not pay for a disk, you can find them on the tubes and download, 
then use your valid key to activate it.  I would not bother with the 
"keys" you find on the tubes, MSFT still trolls for them and kills them 
occasionally.  Oh, and I think all the XP versions are on the disk, it 
all gets installed then when you activate a key it activates whatever 
version/features are associated with that particular key.


Short answer:  yes.

However, I've (luckily?) never had to install XP from scratch---always
used machines that have come with it from the factory.

Hence a dumb question: Am I right in thinking that the point of buying
a key-less XP disk, say this one:
http://tinyurl.com/8ynpv4g
would be to install it on a VM using a license key from another
computer that originally came with XP installed?  I have at least one
broken Thinkpad I bought for parts which  came with XP Professional.
Do I need an XP Home key for an XP Home disk, or will the XP Pro key
from the bottom of the Thinkpad work?  What's the difference between
Home and Pro, anyway?

(Thanks for sending out the compilation email, Loren, BTW.)

A 30" Apple Cinema LCD, I presume?

I have a 128 Mb Radeon 9800 Pro card in my Sawtooth G4 which does
dual-link DVI.  Got it to run a 26" Doublesight monitor at 1920x1200
which the previous card I had couldn't.  (That was a Radeon 8500,
itself an upgrade from the stock ATI card, slow and low-res by modern
standards.)

Not all the Radeon 9800 Pros are dual-link DVI capable, and not all
have Mac-compatible BIOSs, so caveat emptor.  IIRC I paid about $50
for mine a couple of years ago on fleaBay.

Re: [MBZ] 1985 300SD factory servi e manual

I have the MB service manuals on CD if you want a copy.  I think they 
exist somewhere to download or access too.  You can also benefit from 
searching the forums for a particular procedure, lots of people do 
detailed documentation of their repairs.  Or just ask here!


The best source is the intertubes!

It seems to be a simple question with no consensus of opinion:  What

Perhaps the answer is that no such source exists.  Comments, please.

I've had good luck with that too.  Can't even remember my reasons for

Re: [MBZ] Fwd: Re: M103 Lifter tick

[Dan Penoff]

Just got back from looking at it.

Nothing obvious going on, he uses the local Pennzoil oil change place, so 
there's no telling what sort of garbage they're putting in it (the sticker said 
10W-30). Ouch!

I gave him a spare Mann filter I had on the shelf and a shopping list.  He's 
going to go pick up some Mobil 15W-50 today and we'll probably change it this 
afternoon or tomorrow.

Any opinions on how long it will be before this stops (it didn't do it when I 
was there.) 10,000 miles? Less?

He works close by, so he doesn't put a lot of miles on the car.  I suggested 
after we get the oil changed that he take a road trip on I-75 for 20-30 miles 
to get it worked up.

Thanks, everyone.

[MBZ] Useful computer stuff this week

[Dieselhead]

I compiled a listing of the computer tips from this week.  I thought 
this week was particularly fruitful.  It is mostly penguin or 
penguin/winders interaction.  Mac content is the FreeNAS, a penguin 
that can sport AFS.


FREENAS Fileserver
http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/01/how-to-set-up-a-home-file-server-using-freenas/

I've started using OpenBSD at work.  I like it.  Simple, stable, and 
tweaking is NOT encouraged unlike many Linux distros.  It just works 
and otherwise stays out of your way.  Allan


If you want a *real* command line on Windows, install cygwin.  First 
thing I do on any new Windows workstation.AllanYou can run 
UNIX programs, with UNIX real shells


http://www.libreoffice.org/

And you can get a better command line back again!  A bash shell 
running in MS Win.  I have it installed on the virtual machines 
running XP.   Better than DOS, but will still run the DOS commands.  
http://www.mingw.org/Or if all you really want is an alternative 
to command.com, use minGW.  It gives you a bash shell it 
tab-completion, emacs-type movement (ctrl-a, ctrl-e, alt-d, alt-b, 
alt-f, etc).


WUBI  Google for "wubi", it allows you to install Ubuntu linux on a 
Windows machine, and dual-boot. No permanent changes are made, and 
windows stays available.  If the penguin isn't the thing for you, you 
can remove it via the add/remove programs menu in control panel. It 
uses the windows file system, and runs bare metal on the hardware.


Install Ubuntu, install VirtualBox, install XP on a VirtualBox VM. By 
running Samba on my host, XP can use a directory on my host as a 
network drive so all my data is on the host.

I have Akebono pads, installed with new rotors on my 300D less than two
years ago and they are pulsating.  This will be the second set of rotors
gone bad.  May try to have them turned if they are not rotted out.  I
seem to have trouble with rotors rusting...

Re: [MBZ] OT: G3 and G4 monitors

[Jim Cathey]

That leaves G5 and some G4s.


Part of my 'upgrade' plan was to buy the G5 I now have,
then keep an eye out for a fast quad at the right price.
This one would then become the backup.  I do also need to
find the right video card for this one, the one it came
with can't run the 30" display at full resolution.

SWMBA's future laptop will be the first Intel crap in
the house.  (I count not the Grid with the plasma screen,
or the cheap $20 Presario that has Linux on it.)

Re: [MBZ] M103 Lifter tick

[Hendrik & Fay]

Weel, you can use M1, however..I have had the tick on 
various M102/3 engines, tried M1..tick tick tick, stick Diesel 
engine oil in the M103 and after a while we have no tick tick tick.

Diesel engine oil = more detergent.

Re: [MBZ] OT: G3 and G4 monitors

[Dieselhead]

Most weeks they have 2-4 Imacs available.  nothing of the intel 
vintage has showed up yet.  That leaves G5 and some G4s.  Don't know 
about a power supply alone.  Probably won't see that.




Do they have any of the flat screen iMac machines? Or any PSU's for the
same?

Friend has a ppc iMac (G5?) with a boffed PSU, caps keep popin even when
replaced, otherwise was running ok. Have yet to check logic board...
