The alt-129 on the number pad works within Notepad, if it won't in Outlook
(I use the web client, not the fat client). You could then copy the
character and paste it into the email?

Depending on the OS version on a Mac it’s just a matter of holding down the

It's option-u-u on a Mac.  You can put an umlaut on anything (that has one)
using the alt-u prefix.  All the common accents are prefixes on the letters
most commonly associated with them.  Simple, easy to remember, easy to type.

Here, it is most often called the "middle finger display hatch"... Since
the sun shines 360 days of the year, and a "sun roof" is only good for
raising the car interior temperature another 45 degrees above 120, they are
always kept covered and for practical purposes, worthless.

Re: [MBZ] I May Buy This...

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

Not common on these, but I wouldn’t say they’re rare.  Maybe 25% of them had 
sticks.  Seems like they were more common in the later years based on what I’ve 
seen so far.  Not a lot of people can drive a stick these days.

Dang, I love that yellow one. Too bad it’s got a slushbox.

Especially since they still used wood chassis in the 1960s and this one sat 
outside with missing glass for 20 years. 
At least the Volvo engined GTs from the 1970s had steel frames under them.

I live in Bloomingdale, near the top left center of the map.  He’s looking down 
in the Fort Lonesome/Duette area (lower center of the map.)  Nothing out there 
but abandoned fish and tree farms and cattle.  Got a good friend who is a third 
generation cattle rancher in the Wimauma area (just west of Ft. Lonesome) who 
has about 600 acres of grazing land they would probably sell a small parcel 
from because they just love my boy.  Just dropped them a note to see.

Re: [MBZ] more shed building

[Randy Bennell via Mercedes]

Maybe. Part of my reasoning was that I did not really want to put any 
supports right in the middle. It is just sitting on patio blocks which 
are on somewhat compacted crushed limestone. The way it is, if it ends 
up needing better footings I could just jack it up a bit and put some 
heavier concrete blocks under the ends of the 6X6's and hopefully that 
would be sufficient to support it without too much sag in the middle. It 
is full of things like lawnmower, rototiller, snowblower, generator etc 
so there is some weight. I try to keep things around the outer edge and 
leave the middle empty but right now it is pretty full and the 
snowblower is in the middle. It does not weigh a ton but it weighs 
enough to be a bit of a handful for 2 men to lift.


Not structural, but another thing that I did was to staple hardware 
cloth over the whole bottom to prevent critters from moving in under the 
shed.

quite as elegant as what would be needed for the shed but cheaper and 
should be just as strong.

 They have recently (within the last year or two) done a full suspension 
 rebuild with shocks, struts and bushings using MB parts.  Brakes were done 
 as well. Full service records for their ownership, which began prior to 
 2010 - I’m not sure of the exact year, something like 08/09 or 
 thereabouts.  All work was done by the local dealer or a now retired MB 
 indie in the area.

Re: [MBZ] The price of ennui continues to climb

Boring, low mile, near perfect example of the model.  Price is spot on based on 
all factors and the care given over the past five years.  Not bad for an iconic 
car.

http://penoff.com/Penoff.com/PhotoDump.html

He had listed this on Benzworld a while back starting at $2k or thereabouts 
with no takers. It’s had all the requisite 1993 vintage/M119 stuff done to it, 
but needs a lower engine harness rebuild (easy for someone with basic soldering 
and mechanical skills) and the ASR sorted out - also a fairly easy fix once 
some troubleshooting can be done. Heck! if someone bought this and shipped me 
the harness, I would rebuilt it for the cost of shipping.  It’s easy if you’ve 
got the stuff.

I’m out at this point. As stated by the time I have the purchase price and 
shipping ($450) into it I’ll be upside down trying to get everything sorted, as 
it has a bunch of minor things like rear window regulator and wonky antenna, to 
name a few, that need to be addressed.  My Martha tendencies would require that 
I address it all, which would not make good fiscal sense in the long term.

This is a bad*ss car with a 4 liter M119 in it, and besides being surprisingly 
frugal on fuel for a V8, it will blow the doors off of about anything else on 
the street today.

I would bet if you walked up with $750/$800 right now he would take it.  For 
that and not having to pay to ship it somewhere you could have a real race car 
for minimal $$$.

That is, I would Martha the p*ss out of it for more than its worth.

If anyone is interested, I think it would be a great project car that you could

anyone wants the contact info for the seller, let me know. CL has beaten him up 
pretty badly, so I suspect if you were ready to walk up with cash in hand you 
could even get it for less than the current $995 asking price.

Re: [MBZ] Thoughts on 2000 C230 Kompressor

those things are small and tinny looking.  I had a neighbor in Houston 
had one maybe 05 vintage, MB finally bought it back (or credited her on 
a new one) as the car spent more time in the shop for electrical 
problems than she was driving it.  I think the newer one she got was OK.

Re: [MBZ] more shed building

[Floyd Thursby via Mercedes]

Could you just not have made the base of 2x6s with 2x6 rim joists?  I 
like building strong too, but that looks like nuclear-grade 
construction.  I'm actually about half through a firewood shed using 
that technique with 2x8s with the corners on concrete blocks.  Not quite 
as elegant as what would be needed for the shed but cheaper and should 
be just as strong.

very rare failures, and I've never heard of failed diff speed sensors.

I went to a Jiffy Lube in Albuquerque for an oil change for the BRV (I had
no place to do one). They said it took 4.5 quarts and filled it so. I
looked in the manual and found it really took 5 quarts. I went back and
complained. They were very agreeable and put the extra 0.5 quart in. They
asked if there was anything else they could do. I had them check the level
of differerential gear oil, which they did not charge for.

But shorting each customer 0.5 quart would be a rip-off.

[Karl Wittnebel via Mercedes]

The 94 e420 continues to impress. Seriously quick with the 2.82 diff swap.
A real sleeper.

It has a faint knock once every 4 sec coming from somewhere poorly defined
under the body somewhere, and it did need a new throttle body and harness
when I got it, but other than that it is a great car.

The seats from these e420 and e400 cars are fantastic. You could get a
grand for them in good shape.

They have recently (within the last year or two) done a full suspension rebuild 
with shocks, struts and bushings using MB parts.  Brakes were done as well. 
Full service records for their ownership, which began prior to 2010 - I’m not 
sure of the exact year, something like 08/09 or thereabouts.  All work was done 
by the local dealer or a now retired MB indie in the area.

It’s a great foundation for someone who wants a cheap entry into the 400E 
platform, as they’ve done all the requisite W124/M119 stuff that would be 
necessary in a car of this age and vintage. This even includes timing chain and 
guides, which I’ve never done on an M119 before 300k.

The piddly stuff are things you could easily ignore or put off, like the rear 
window regulator and antenna, for example.  Left rear fender has peeling 
clearcoat, but it’s that panel and that panel on,y, something that could easily 
be masked off and dealt with to make the exterior 100%.

You should reach out to the guy if you’re interested. I will gladly rebuild the 
lower harness gratis if you get it to/from my abode.  It’s not a big deal to 
R

Re: [MBZ] 400E in Greenville, SC -$995.00

[Floyd Thursby via Mercedes]

Man that is really tempting.  I'm wondering if a Kleb price would do it, 
or if he would not want to go lower than like $750 (which is still a 
good price I would think, the car looks pretty nice though I'm not 
really into white).


So you think the ASR is the culprit?  Is that something 
straightforward?  Would it be something that could be done easily to get 
it running or would it need some bench work? Knacker parts from any old 
124?  or is it more than that?


The wiring harness I could easily deal with I suppose, sounds more like 
a bit of a pain than anything else.  Is that also putting it into limp 
mode? What would YOU do to get it running right?


I bought a regulator for the 210 for like $40, that is no big deal, or 
just grab one at the knackers.


damn you you are talking me into this.

Max, feel like an upstate road trip?

He had listed this on Benzworld a while back starting at $2k or thereabouts 
with no takers. It’s had all the requisite 1993 vintage/M119 stuff done to it, 
but needs a lower engine harness rebuild (easy for someone with basic soldering 
and mechanical skills) and the ASR sorted out - also a fairly easy fix once 
some troubleshooting can be done. Heck! if someone bought this and shipped me 
the harness, I would rebuilt it for the cost of shipping.  It’s easy if you’ve 
got the stuff.

I’m out at this point. As stated by the time I have the purchase price and 
shipping ($450) into it I’ll be upside down trying to get everything sorted, as 
it has a bunch of minor things like rear window regulator and wonky antenna, to 
name a few, that need to be addressed.  My Martha tendencies would require that 
I address it all, which would not make good fiscal sense in the long term.

This is a bad*ss car with a 4 liter M119 in it, and besides being surprisingly 
frugal on fuel for a V8, it will blow the doors off of about anything else on 
the street today.

I would bet if you walked up with $750/$800 right now he would take it.  For 
that and not having to pay to ship it somewhere you could have a real race car 
for minimal $$$.

[MBZ] 400E in Greenville, SC -$995.00

[Dan--- via Mercedes]

I’m going to pass on this car.  While I’m confident the ASR issues would be 
easily resolved after researching them in detail, there are a lot of other 
little niggly bit to be addressed that I fear would just add up to the point 
where I would have too much money sunk into it for my satisfaction, especially 
because I’m going to have nearly $1500 into it before I even crack the hood 
with having to ship it home.

That is, I would Martha the p*ss out of it for more than its worth.

If anyone is interested, I think it would be a great project car that you could 
get going for minimal $$$ if you’re not worried about it being perfect.  If 
anyone wants the contact info for the seller, let me know. CL has beaten him up 
pretty badly, so I suspect if you were ready to walk up with cash in hand you 
could even get it for less than the current $995 asking price.

Re: [MBZ] Wow

[G Mann via Mercedes]

What amazes me, is I see NO indication of air bag deployment Usually,
post wreck, there are air bags hanging everywhere, evidence of deployment.

What ever hit the right rear quarter did so with serious energy.

Re: [MBZ] crazy prices for service at the stealer

Speaking of check lists and rip offs.  I saw this recent report on Jiffy Lube.  
 This doesn't look good for them!

That is why we call them stealers.   Oh, and they will give the customer 
a XXX (fill in the xs with numbers) point checklist that they claim to to, but 
as long as it has wiper blades and some juice in the washer tanks, all those 
XXX points are "just fine" unless the stealer or shop monkey needs to make a 
payment on his newer. bigger boat.  Then several other things will be "done" 
(in theory) to rack up the bill.  Scam city.

Re: [MBZ] How much for a 560 SEL?

[Donald Snook via Mercedes]

Wow. That is NICE!  I had an 82 280 It was a Euro car.  I liked the power of 
the M110 but it seemed to really like GAS.  I thought it got lousy mileage.   
But, this is a great looking car!
