Re: [MBZ] OT - FLACs and CUE files

[Walt Zarnoch]

I'd try using Audacity to do the conversion, it should obey the CUE file
when converting.

Re: [MBZ] Car breakin

[Dieselhead]

Wilton,

Sorry to hear about the lowlife ruining both cars.  Too bad you 
didn't greet him/them with Mr C olt's  Model 19 11.


Swift justice tends to decrease such activity.


Some sorry SOB broke into both of my cars last night probably about 
10 to 10:30pm.  About that time, I heard three muffled bumps. 
'Thought it was "neighbor" activity at some condominiums to my west. 
SWMBO went out to cars at 1PM today and found the damages to both. 
Black 91 350SDL has broken rear "windshield," broken left rear 
window, broken center console sliding door (it wasn't even locked), 
and severely bent/distorted trunk lid; interior of car ransacked. 
White 87 300D has broken right rear little triangular window, three 
pry marks along lower edge of trunk; lower panel at rear of trunk 
lid slightly distorted; interior ransacked.  'Don't think the SOB 
gained entry to the trunks - their interiors appear untouched. 
'Don't think anything of value was taken from either car.  Other 
than my mobility scooter in 300D trunk, I try not to leave anything 
of value in the cars.  The stupid SOB did not seem to realize that 
after he had unlocked either of the front doors on both cars, all he 
needed to do to enter trunks was to punch the trunk buttons.
SOB also broke into outbuilding/shop; 'took several hand tools and 
tried to take John Deere lawn tractor - probably left it because of 
2 flat tires and a locking cable with master lock on it.

[MBZ] E320 oil change

[Mitch Haley]

Finally got around to changing out the 5w30 Valvoline synthetic that the PO had 
in my 4matic.


Removed the oil filter cap with a 76mm 14 point socket (fit a bit loose but did 
the job, and that plastic lid was tight) Boy, that's the longest stem I've ever 
seen. Took four of the five o-rings that came with my fleece filter from Q.


Hooked up the super sucker to the dipstick tube, and it started slurping air/oil 
mix with only about a gallon of oil in the bucket. I thought that every engine 
designed since the 1970s had a dipstick tube that went to the bottom of the pan?


Had to crawl under and remove the drain bolt from the SIDE of the pan (probably 
leaving a cup or a pint of dirty oil in the pan) to get the other gallon out.
Torqued the drain bolt to 30nm. Too bad I didn't have a new crush washer, but I 
wasn't planning on pulling the drain plug. Job was made easier by whoever was 
kind enough to remove and throw away my belly pans before I bought the car.


Dumped my last two 4qt jugs of 5w40 M1 turbo diesel truck down the huge hole the 
oil filter came out of. Easy target, no spills. Installed the filter and torqued 
the plastic filter stem to 25nm. Oil level is closer to full than to add, either 
because I left some oil in the pan or because you don't really need 8 liters.


Reset the FSS (flexible service system) and the job was done.

Mitch.

Re: [MBZ] Brakes

[Dieselhead]

May just be that one has ATE and the other has Giring.  If you swap 
the calipers, and possibly the hoses, they should interchange.  Pads, 
of course are related to the caliper Mfgr.  So if you have new 
calipers, hoses and pads, the whole shebang may swap out.




Clay  -
I don't believe that you told us what year 380SL you bought the set for. I
checked the main parts between my '81 380SL and my '81 300SD and found that
the rotors were the same, the pads were the same and the rear calipers were
the same. The front calipers were different. So at least in '81 the brakes
on the 107 and the 126 were very similar.

[MBZ] OT - FLACs and CUE files

Anyone here know anything about FLACs and CUE files?

I just got a FLAC of something from a friend, and while it has a CUE file and 
all the related items, when I attempt to convert it to another format, it 
converts as one big file and not individual tracks.

I guess you have USAA for your Home Owners Policy. Check with them

In early 92 my Grand Voyager was broken into thru the sliding door.
No Comp on vech. but HO policy covered the repairs.

When I lived in Italy, I learned to leave my car unlocked, nothing of value 
inside.  It took two car break-in episodes to learn that.

What really bugs me is that I heard the muffled sounds of the impacts or the 
windows breaking, and I did nothing about it - 'thought it was neighbor

Re: [MBZ] Car breakin

[Hendrik & Fay]

Sorry to hear about this Wilton, unfortunately I am not able to use the 
language on this list to properly describe the lowlifes responsible for 
this crime. Bit of a kick in the guts, you spend most of your life 
protecting your country and some slack arse druggie does this.
Sometimes I think a get tough approach should be used, none of this good 
behaviour bonds, suspended sentence or whatever. Straight to the army 
for a 3 year stint. Jail only seems to teach them how to be better 
criminals and connect with other lowlifes.
Makes you wonder what they where expecting to find in your cars? Spose 
they thought that Merc owners leave a few hundred dollars in the glove 
box, just in case. Gold bars in the boot?

Re: [MBZ] Fwd: Save this Antique Mercedes Diesel

[Curt Raymond]

I was actually pleased to note the other day that in normal commuting my '78 
240D pulled 30.5mpg. The highest I've ever gotten in a 240D was 32mpg which was 
in my '83. I think with new tires on the alloy rims from the '84 the '78 will 
nudge past that mark at the cost of a bit of power...

Its a sad affair. Seems more like a $400 car to me. I'm tempted, but not that 
much. Rather enjoying my '78 240D just lately.

Re: [MBZ] More Oil Line Silliness

[Curt Raymond]

On the subject of the teflon providing some danger without any advantage I see 
your point but the potential for danger here is relatively minor. When I use 
teflon tape I don't go all the way to the end of the threaded portion, in the 
case of a flare fitting you'd pretty much have to wrap all the way to the end 
of the threads and beyond...

Only sloppy enough to inject a gob of teflon into an oil passage and seize
your engine... I suppose.

Teflon doesn't really "protect" threads from seizure like anti-seize does,
so my strong preference is anti-seize. In the case of a flare fitting
teflon provides no benefit for sealing the pipe joint, so why not use what
will let you take it apart later with the least problem.

Your personal choice dictates which method you live with.

Re: [MBZ] Brakes

[Dave in SoCal]

A backwards method I have used in the past is to log in to the EPC with the VIN 
you want to put parts on and run a 'part' search with the the part number you 
have. If applicable, a diagram will pop up, if not, a 'no part found' message 
appears. 

Did this for some 380SL rotors I had - my memory is faded but I believe the 
rears worked on a W123 but the fronts did not. Could be completely wrong, 
though — it was a good while back.

Re: [MBZ] Brakes

IIRC, for the 450SL, the rear pads will work, and probably the hoses. Not
sure about the disks. I don't know, but suspect that the 560SL has new
parts.

Re: [MBZ] Diesel Smelling Laundry

[G Mann]

Your local $1 store. They will have a product that comes in a spray bottle
and has Orange oil as the main ingredient. It cleans up grease and oil like
nothing else I have ever used and leaves a nice citrus smell.

It also removes blood stains, in case SWMBO really goes off the deep end
over using her washer.. ;)).

Dump in a bunch [it's bio degradable ] and wash away. Might want to run it
a couple of cycles with the Orange cleaner each time.

The Orange cleaner is sold under a bunch of different labels but the main
ingredient in all of them is orange oil, a by product of the orange juice
industry [they have to dispose of the orange peels somehow and found use
for them].

Re: [MBZ] Diesel Smelling Laundry

[Michael Canfield]

Just hand wash them in a bucket of hot water with dishsoap and throw them
in your own washer for a final cleaning.

Gotta love it when ya go to the laundromat to get your clothes clean and
the whole place stinks of diesel fuel and the machines are greasy from not
prewashing crap like that.

Everyone says "F it, it is not my machine, I will put all sorts of nasty
shit in it and to hell with the next guy.". Real nice.

Happens all the time around here.

Great!

In fact, I am typing this reply on it right now.

I have been loading the nightly tenderloins on it for about a week and it just 
keeps getting better.
