[MBZ] used as an occasional daily driver

[Allan Streib via Mercedes]

A nice example of a running 1980 240D with a rare 4-spd manual in OSU
scarlett color. It has some rust in its doors otherwise a fully
functional car - used as an occasional daily driver. New battery. Rock
solid 240D Benz.

Re: [MBZ] I was nearly killed today

[Karl Wittnebel via Mercedes]

People get run over by rolling cars all the time. I guess if it is a choice
between your kid or you, go for it. Otherwise it's like Jack Handy said: if
you're walking next to a river of lava, and you drop your car keys into it:
Just forget about it, 'cause man, they're gone.

Dont get me going on all the outpatient opioid stuff. Happy to answer any
questions privately.

Glad you are OK Kaleb.

Re: [MBZ] Artist-owned 280C on BAT

[Jim Cathey via Mercedes]

Never seen "milan brown metallic" before.

Milan brown _is_ metallic, but maybe they amped up the metal flake in it or 
something.
My wife's 450SL was Milan brown.  She called it her 'A' car, as the Bamboo 
interior
was sort of orange-ish.  Somehow I don't think that was a compliment...

Appears to be a cowboy artist whose paintings command $300-3000 price 
tags.

If that was 3 million, not 3 thousand, it might add value to the car.

When I strained my rectus muscle (lower abdomen) due to incessant coughing
fits, it took over a month to be able to run without pain, or to breathe
deeply.  One of the worst.

Re: [MBZ] I was nearly killed today

[ROGER HALE via Mercedes]

Kaleb,
When I had cracked ribs during the 80s, the Dr. gave me some mild pain pills 
and a wrap for my ribs and chest to limit my movement and protect against any 
coughing or heavy breathing.  It took me 3-4 weeks to fully recover.  It hurt 
to breathe deep, it hurt to cough, and it hurt to make any sudden movements, 
especially bending over. 
So, take care and relax.  I don't know if your upcoming travel is a good idea, 
might be worth a Dr. visit for a medical opinion on that.
Best Wishes,
Roger

Re: [MBZ] Problems with the Big Red Van

[Mitch Haley via Mercedes]

If it's requiring daily replenishment, watching the radiator with the 
cap off and engine running or pulling the plugs and testing compression 
might tell you something.


You might be to the point where pulling the plugs after sitting 
overnight and cranking it over would put spray out a plug hole. That was 
how I found out my Subaru (which had made coolant mysteriously disappear 
ever since I bought it) had a bad head gasket. One day after sitting 
parked for an extended period, it wouldn't turn over. Pulled the plugs 
and the starter worked. And a geyser shot out from under the hood. The 
wet cylinder's plug looked pressure washed, the other 3 were sooty.

Re: [MBZ] Problems with the Big Red Van

[G Mann via Mercedes]

Quick and dirty check method for blown head gasket...
With engine cold [be safe] remove radiator cap.
Start and run the engine to operating temperature, while observing what
happens to the coolant at the radiator fill neck.

As temperature comes up and engine runs, if the head gasket is blown, you
will see the coolant surge at the filler neck.
If you accelerate the engine to fast idle... coolant will surge and
overflow... more engine speed will increase the size of the surge.

What is happening with a blown head gasket is that cylinder pressures are
much higher than coolant pressures... ie.. 15 lb radiator cap thus,
combustion gasses are inserted into the coolant system, which overpowers
the "closed system" and pushes coolant out the overflow...

Generally, combustion gas, being much hotter than the cooling system can
shed heat, will cause coolant overheating...
Depending on how "blown the gasket is" ... you usually see coolant loss..
as the gasket degrades further [and it will] more hot combustion gases are
inserted into the coolant and you see a rise in engine temperature at
first, not much, as gasket degrades.. more heat.. until you are well into
the death sequence where coolant is pushed out, thus less coolant, and hot
gasses are pushed in, thus more heat to shed, with less coolant.. until the
engine cooks and seizes..

As you lose coolant, most systems mount the temp gage sending unit high in
the system [ie heat rises] ... as coolant is blown out that sensor may
be left bare of coolant and actually read colder, all while the engine is
committing suicide...

If you don't see a surge at the filler neck, and find no leak points, there
is a cap you can rent at FLAPS with a pressure gage to read coolant
pressure... [Snapon will sell you a set for several hundred dollars, rent
one]

There is a weep hole at the bottom of the water pump... hidden behind the
fan drive pulley... look for it.. if you see any moisture, water pump seal
has failed and you will lose coolant from that.. so worth checking.
Obviously... look for leaks at hose clamps, heater hoses, etc.. look at the
engine block for freeze plug leaks [they get rust holes sometimes and weep.
as engine temp rises.. they weep harder.]

Hope any of this helps. Good luck.
