Re: [MBZ] 240D Starter

[archer75--- via Mercedes]

There are components that are more expensive than batteries which could send a 
Prius to the junkyard. The batteries are rebuildable since they are composed of 
many separate cells that can be replaced for roughly $45 each and then 
carefully balanced. The usual life expectancy of the cars is probably 250,000 
up, but I'm just guessing. One of the best information sources is 
Priuschat.com, and there are also useful sites in Canada and other foreign 
countries.
I don't remember what kind of batteries the version ones had, but the version 
two's like mine had nicads, the same type rechargeable batteries that you can 
buy at the drugstore. Some or all later versions have NiMH I think. 
These are finicky little cars with a lot of gotchas. Put the wrong fluid in 
something under the hood and you've just made a several thousand dollar mistake.

Re: [MBZ] 103 v 104

[Curley McLain via Mercedes]

I've heard that the M104 is based on the M103 block.  I have no first 
hand experience.  If that IS the case, it is possible the M103 head 
gasket might work with a M104 head.   Hawever the smaller parts int eh 
103 set likely won't fit the dual cam M104 head/exhaust/intake etc.


Best bet is to sell the M103 kit and use the proceeds toward a M104 kit.


Similarly, I think a OM616 head could be used on an OM621 or OM615, but 
I have NO proof.

Checking PnP yards and the Priii are showing up in numbers.  Mostly the 
original series.  I am trying to figure out if the battery packs could be used 
to make an electric SLC.

Re: [MBZ] 103 v 104

#1 boy’s 92 SE that he failed to winterize last year.  IT ate coolant hoses and 
broke rad neck.  Has been leaking oil from the head for years.

I am gathering replacement parts so he can make it road worthy once more.  
Maybe he sells, maybe I take it off his hands for $500

Re: [MBZ] Scraping...

The M1 is a superb rifle, looks good, shoots decent. Sadly the M16 is a more 
accurate rifle but from a "reliability in the field when serviced by hamfisted 
grunts" standpoint the M1 is a much better device.

Count your blessings...
I have said for at least the last 20 years "Boring is good". 

Meaning, no emergency visits to the hospital, no caring for sick kids, no 
fixing crashed cars, no arguing with SWMBO, no doctor visits, no lawyer visits, 
no undertaker visits, no chaos, no drama...

That’s pretty cool.  So the metal is solid enough that it’s still functional?  
Like no pitting or anything?

I took my oldest son (“dead eye”) out to the range today.  His third time out 
and he was making 4” groupings on a target 20 yards out with my 1911.  

Amazing.

Even the RSO, a retired Special Forces guy who taught pistol and rifle in the 
military, was amazed at his skill.

I'm thinking my birthday present to myself is going to be a Brown Bess musket 
kit. You get an original 200+ year old barrel and lock with new partially 
inletted wood. You have to clean up and derust the metal, then finish the wood.

Re: [MBZ] Scraping...

Yeah, I was thinking about going and checking it out just to see where the 
owner was coming from as far as price and motivation to sell.

That and I’ve never driven a W110 diesel, much less a stick. I might do it just 
for the experience.

Hmm.

Agreed.  However, I’m the sort of person who “needs something to do” all of the

That will be scary.

I would love to get my hands on that finny diesel over in Pinellas County but I

You can take a socket from a brake light and add it to the inner sections of 
the taillight assemblies, as in where the fog amp is on the left side only do 
the same on the right side as well.  Tap into the existing brake light in the 
assembly and add a bulb, and now you have SUPER brake lights.

Re: [MBZ] Scraping...

[Curley McLain via Mercedes]

Since you are bored, buy that  clapped out ML and refurb it back to 
Martha standards!   That will keep you scrounging for interior parts for 
a while!!!



Or better yet, buy that 110.110 and bring it back to glory!  It appears 
to be a very good basis to start with.

Put a new O ring on the oil dipstick on the E320 wagon. Did the same 
on the SL500, as it was leaking a little and not fitting tightly in 
the tube. Had a 250,000 km high mileage badge from one of the previous 
cars I owned. Put it on the wagon, since it’s got 173k. Gotta fill out 
the form and have the dealer verify it for the wagon so I can get another.


Still bored. Taking oldest son to range to shoot pistols for lack of 
anything else to do. Nice day for it, going to be close to 80F.

I have said for at least the last 20 years

"Boring is good".

Meaning, no emergency visits to the hospital, no caring for sick kids, 
no fixing crashed cars, no arguing with SWMBO, no doctor visits, no 
lawyer visits, no undertaker visits, no chaos, no drama...

I guess you can still buy a Mercedes at the wholesale auction for $200.
That's where my 300SD with the missing window came from, but it was titled to 
the individual who sold it to me on eBay, he said he'd been driving it for 
about a month. 
Obviously if it's still got a floor paper in it, the only thing the seller did 
was buy it and stick it on CL.
