[MBZ] New Radio for my MB (no swimming fish)

[Meade Dillon via Mercedes]

I ordered one of these today:

http://www.continental-automotive.com/www/automotive_de_en/themes/commercial_vehicles/ch_interior_en/audio_products/fm_am_radio_bluetooth_en.html

Looks like a nice "modern" replacement for our beloved Beckers, but at a
far more reasonable price and with bluetooth, front USB input, front AUX
input.

I love the fact that the design is simple and similar to the Beckers (matte
black finish, yellow LCD display).  One button/knob to turn it on/off and
control the volume, six preset stations buttons.

KISS - it works for a reason!

Re: [MBZ] New Radio for my MB (no swimming fish)

[Max Dillon via Mercedes]

I find it curious this radio is marketed to truck drivers, don't know if that 
bodes well for performance but it makes sense from an ease of operation stand 
point.

I could not find any review info either, other than a couple of posts on 
Porsche forums, and they seemed to like it for the reasons I'm getting it.

Will let you all know.  If my phone pairs up to the Bluetooth and I can stream 
podcasts and phone calls, I'll be thrilled.

That reminds me, I think I need to order a remote microphone

I have not used any Mac hardware newer than about 2004.  But
prior to that, running System 7, OS8, OS9 and OSX I would
often seem them fix themselves.

And not just me.  It was a sort of a legend among Mac users.
Maybe there is still a little bit of the magic left...

[MBZ] 2002 Honda Civic AC compressor.

[Michael Esh via Mercedes]

My son's Honda Civic's AC compressor developed a very loud drumming noise 
today. Historically this vehicle has had loads of trouble with AC compressor. 
The last time the AC failed I had my mechanic install  3 different NAPA store 
compressors and none of them lasted more than a month each.  This a trusted 
certified mechanic.  We finally bought a compressor directly from a Honda 
dealership. This one has lasted almost 3 years and now is making this noise.  
Does anyone have any experience with these compressors or can anyone recommend 
a supplier to purchase a new high quality compressor from. 
Thanks,
Mike

[MBZ] BBA Reman

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

Just got an email from BBA about my convertible top controller coming back to 
me today.

I called to see exactly what they had done to it.  They reprogrammed the EEPROM 
and calibrated the roll bar circuits.  All should be working 100% now.

Looking forward to getting it back early next week and having the SL500 full 
operational.

Yes.

The HHT (hand held tester) emulation in the DAS system has the ability to 
“fool” the controller into thinking the car has been tipped beyond 7 degrees in 
any plane.  I’ll run the tests when I get it installed.  If she hits a bump or 
gets rowdy while driving it can deploy as well.

It will happen, believe me.  It borders on violent when the roll bar deploys.  
There will be laundry to do afterwards as well.

I second that. I used Thunderbird for quite a while but finally got tired of it 
dumping megabytes of ??? on the OS every time I removed them with Ccleaner. 
Some of the stuff Thunderbird and Microsoft continually dumped on the OS would 
slow down the computer and cause weird problems.

Re: [MBZ] Shipping parts

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

The only thing I've found wonky about FedEx is that once the collective size of 
the package goes above a certain length the cost goes up significantly.

I found this out when I was parting the S500. Some of the flat big stuff like 
door cards were really expensive.

I like FedEx Ground because it's the least expensive and you still get tracking 
and relatively cheap insurance.

Re: [MBZ] New Radio for my MB (no swimming fish)

[Max Dillon via Mercedes]

Caraudio24.de, shipped to a friend in Germany who will then ship it to me.  I 
think my final cost will be about $120, which isn't much cheaper than the two 
sources you mentioned, maybe $30 or so.

Even $150 would be a great price for this radio, I think.  Won't really know 
until I get it.

7 degrees isn't very much -- you could get that pulling off on the

Re: [MBZ] BBA Reman

I remember all the cautions in the 124 manual for convertibles, sounded like 
jacking up a rear wheel with the key in the ignition might cause the roll bar 
to deploy.

Re: [MBZ] BBA Reman

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

I’m working from memory, I think it was 7 degrees.  That’s coupled with input 
from the accelerometer, too.

If the roll bar deploys, you use the manual operation rocker switch to lower 
and raise it again, and that should reset the system.  There is a very, very 
powerful set of springs inside the hydraulic cylinder that release if this 
occurs, deploying the roll bar in milliseconds.

Re: [MBZ] 2002 Honda Civic AC compressor.

[Mitch Haley via Mercedes]

I'm unaware of any great problems with that compressor in the 1995-2000 Chrysler
cloud cars. 
I'm no expert on the subject, but if it were me, I'd drop a couple hundred on a
new Nissens or Denso, flush the system as best as I could, replace the filter
dryer, and install a suction line filter.

Re: [MBZ] 2002 Honda Civic AC compressor.

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

Interesting that you should mention this.

I researched Honda CRVs of that vintage quite heavily for a friend who is not a 
car person but was looking for something along those lines.  There were all 
sorts of stories about exploding AC compressors and how they would fail 
catastrophically, taking out the whole system with the shrapnel.

Being that AC is a critical system in this part of the world, I steered him 
away from them.  I got him into a Jetta TDI five speed instead, and he still 
has it today.

[MBZ] OT, Death by Stupidity

[Rich Thomas via Mercedes]

There is this, a strong argument for Darwinism:

http://www.thestate.com/news/local/article58604888.html

--R


 Deputies: Lancaster man died playing Russian roulette with revolver

Authorities said a man found dead shot himself while playing Russian 
roulette


Deputies ruled the death accidental

Lancaster County authorities released this photo of Brandon Wheeler 
Reese’s truck. RockHill


Lancaster County authorities believe the man found dead last month in 
his truck was not killed in a homicide, but died accidentally playing 
Russian roulette.


On Jan. 12, deputies were called to the intersection of John Everall 
Road and Sunnybrook Lane where they found Brandon Wheeler Reese, 22, of 
Lancaster, shot dead inside his truck 
. 
Lakendrick Wade


Deputies and the State Law Enforcement Division collected evidence, 
gathered leads and began a homicide investigation.


Friday morning, the sheriff’s office released new details after 
determining his death was accidental.


Deputies spoke with Lakendrick Tayon Wade, 20, of Lancaster, who was 
determined to have been one of three people with Mr. Reese when he was 
shot.


According to Wade, Reese came to his home on McIlwain Road wanting to 
obtain a gun. Reese drove Wade and another person to Palidin Trailer 
Park to the home of the fourth person to obtain the weapon, the 
sheriff’s office reports.


The owner of the revolver stood outside the open front passenger door of 
the truck and handed Reese an S .38 special revolver. He told Reese 
that if he successfully played Russian roulette with the revolver, he 
could take it, a release states.


Reese spun the cylinder once and pulled the trigger with the revolver 
pointed toward the floorboard of the truck. It did not fire. Reese then 
pointed the revolver at the right side of his head and pulled the 
trigger again. The revolver fired, killing Reese at Palidin Trailer 
Park, according to the release.


“The owner of the revolver retrieved it and left the scene. Wade and the 
third person in the truck moved Mr. Reese to the front passenger 
floorboard of his truck, and Wade drove Mr. Reese to Springs Memorial 
Hospital,” the release states. “Wade became fearful when he arrived at 
the hospital and did not stop.”


Wade then drove the truck to the location it was discovered on John 
Everall Road, and he and the third person left walking.


The owner of the revolver assisted investigators in recovering the gun, 
which was determined by a firearms examiner at SLED to be the firearm 
which fired the fatal bullet.


Wade was also questioned by investigators about a shooting incident that 
occurred at 605 East Marion Street, Kershaw, on Jan. 3 and was charged 
with attempted murder in that case.


Sheriff Barry Faile extended sympathy to Reese’s family and friends.

I ordered one of these today:

http://www.continental-automotive.com/www/automotive_de_en/themes/commercial_vehicles/ch_interior_en/audio_products/fm_am_radio_bluetooth_en.html

Looks like a nice "modern" replacement for our beloved Beckers, but at a
far more reasonable price and with bluetooth, front USB input, front AUX
input.

I love the fact that the design is simple and similar to the Beckers (matte
black finish, yellow LCD display).  One button/knob to turn it on/off and
control the volume, six preset stations buttons.

KISS - it works for a reason!

Re: [MBZ] 2002 Honda Civic AC compressor.

[Curly McLain via Mercedes]

There was some kind of riceburner that had the same compressor as the 
SDL, but with a different clutch and other peripherals.   In the 
archives, around 2006 or 7, maybe 5, there is a write up of how I did 
it and what car the compressor came from.  Aren't they sanyos?


Buy a new compressor, not rebuilt.  Or maybe you can adapt one that 
lasts longer to the application with a trip to the you pull yard and 
the old compressor (dimensions)


A few weeks ago we had the name of the company that builds most AC 
parts in the US floating around this list regarding an Evaporator 
(124?)  If they have a new compressor, that would be the way to go.

I especially like the way he increased his probability of death from .167 to
.200 before playing the game.

Re: [MBZ] (no subject)

[Curly McLain via Mercedes]

Ala the Apple III Repair Manual: Did you pick the Mac up from a height of
about 5 inches and drop it soundly on the table to reseat the chips?


In many older computers all the chips were socketed.  They eventually
figured out that this was a reliability nightmare unless one used
sockets that cost near as much as the chips in them, and then
sockets went away.  Except for sometimes the CPU itself, and maybe
the RAM devices, once SIMM came along.

But sometimes a good thump does plenty of good.

That was one of the beauties of the Amiga computers.  You could swap 
out a lot of of the chips for various upgrades.   (another was that 
you could run the Mac OS on them)


But the standard was for the stealer to hold the box waist high and 
drop it to "seat the chips" before unpacking.

Ala the Apple III Repair Manual: Did you pick the Mac up from a height 
of

about 5 inches and drop it soundly on the table to reseat the chips?


In many older computers all the chips were socketed.  They eventually
figured out that this was a reliability nightmare unless one used
sockets that cost near as much as the chips in them, and then
sockets went away.  Except for sometimes the CPU itself, and maybe
the RAM devices, once SIMM came along.

But sometimes a good thump does plenty of good.
