Not sure would have to price it out, but just checked and KY will 
require a broker, so not going to mess with it.

Not doing that on a brand new battery and no serpentine belt.
50 miles with no headlights maybe.
11 miles would be easy, assuming you could get the coolant moving.
I know from experience a M112 only goes up 5-10 degrees when it loses a 
belt in winter, but that was on an engine that already had the coolant 
warm and circulating.
Warm water continued to rise in the engine, and drop as it cooled

That is pretty common and cheap to replace.  I always check them before

The 05E320 wagon munched the tensioner pulley the day after I got it, 
late at night.  Had to call a friend to come collect me, I was about 
100yd from another friend's farm so pulled into a field and left it 
there.  I should have dealt with it as I heard it screaming on the way 
home from Hilton Head, surprised it did not fail on the trip, out in the 
middle of the ACE Basin with gators around.

I lust after the S63.  The S500 looks OK too.  Problem here in SC is 
that you need a dealer or salvager license to buy auction cars, you can 
find a broker but then that adds lots of $$ to the final price.  It's a 
racket.  NC and GA the public can buy cars, but a lot of them aren't 
available for the public to buy for reasons unclear.  But yeah, it might 
be worth looking at some wrecked hulk to haul home and dismantle then 
scrap the rest.

Re: [MBZ] Stupid E320

[dan penoff.com via Mercedes]

Pretty common source of failure on these engines/cars and fortunately an 
easy/cheap one to fix. Sorry you had a failure while on the road, especially in 
inclement weather. That’s never fun, but at least you weren’t stranded out in 
the Styx somewhere.

For what it’s worth, this is a maintenance item I always check on an M112 
engine as they’re easy to spot if worn and equally easy to swap out.

That's the problem.  Pass conditions are generally terrible, and _towing_ heavy
could well be quite dangerous.  The trailer doesn't have brakes.  Getting car on
the trailer could be difficult.

All in all, fix-and-drive will be best, IF it works.

Modern vehicles are a pain in so many ways.
How far from home is the car?
I know you have the big Dodge. Do you have a car hauler trailer?
Can you borrow one? Might be better to go prepared to drag it home on 
the trailer.

Good Luck.

I have one.  Still on the door!  (Easier to get the entire door than
to try to dismount the mirror, and was likely the same price.)  I
never installed it on the car, which has now rusted to scrap.

No, more likely elementary school education redneck with a severe 
rectal-cranial inversion.

“Why did you do this?”

“Because I can.”

Same mentality that does the hood stacks on W123/W126 cars.

Not surprising they’re in Starke. That’s about as redneck as you can get in FL, 
not to mention the state prison with the electric chair is there, too.

Sad what they did to that car. Bedliner?

I wanted the right side mirror for my W115 300D and got one for a

It came carefully packaged and was in perfect condition.

Re: [MBZ] 221 Pahtz

I came to the conclusion that these yards are mostly dealing with shops and/or 
walk-ins and they don't see it as worth their time to respond to an 
individual/DIY inquiry from the internet. I kind of get that, but it's 
frustrating when you're seriously looking for a part.

Re: [MBZ] 221 Pahtz

[mitch--- via Mercedes]

I wonder if they respond to requests from Joe's Body Shop but not from 
peons?
Anybody I've called, including a ramshackle place that looked like I'd 
stepped 50 years into the past, has looked at the computer and said 
'yep, it's pulled, or yep, it's still on the car'. OTOH, when I found a 
truck grille about five miles away and gave my neighbor their phone 
number, they didn't have the part they listed on car-part, and they 
ordered him the wrong new one for too much money when he went there to 
pick up the used one.

I did OK with chat at Airport Auto in Jackson Michigan, and never had 
problems getting someone to talk to me by calling the phone numbers 
associated with the listings.
Did occasionally have trouble with the end result, like a place in 
Oregon selling me a left knee airbag for a price more appropriate for a 
right knee airbag (score!), and then shipping me a right bag I didn't 
need or want. Oh, sorry about that. Keep the right bag and we'll send 
you a left bag the next time we get one in. (never heard back from them, 
surprise)

Agreed.

I tried (unsuccessfully) to find a replacement rear bumper for my 1998 S210 
wagon this way and could never get a response. The ones I called rarely knew 
what they had, and even then would often just tell me to “come by and we’ll 
look for one” which I wasn’t about to do when they were 100 miles away.

Search car-part.com for the main pieces you need, sort by distance and 
write down who has what. Then call somebody who seems to have most of 
it.


Or just buy this and some painting supplies.

Subject: [MBZ] 221 Pahtz

So I’m starting to look for pahtz for this 221. The 2 big yards near here have 
online searchable car inventory. LKQ is one, they have other yards in the 
larger area. But actually finding other yards that have these cars (and LKQ 
don’t appear to) is nigh impossible. There are searches from other yards for 
specific parts but not entire cars. Frustrating. I would love to find one that 
has been smashed in the side or rear and go pull all the front parts I need but 
not easy to find any cars.  I guess I could call around but that’s terribly 
inefficient.

Annoying. If anyone knows of any yards around them that might have a good donor 
car let me know. I’ll keep looking on FB and CL too for someone parting one 
out. If anyone sees one…

it at higher or lower speeds overall.  There are also lots of external
sensors and triggers you can configure.  I have mine setup with a pressure
switch on the compressor tank.  It does draw a lot of power on a single

Re: [MBZ] Lathes?

[Jaime Kopchinski via Mercedes]

I'm running a variable frequency drive to power an old 3 phase compressor I
got for next to nothing.  Pretty cool device.  Not only does it output 3
phase power, but you can completely configure it.  For example, you can
ramp up with frequency on startup or shutdown for smoother starts, or run
it at higher or lower speeds overall.  There are also lots of external
sensors and triggers you can configure.  I have mine setup with a pressure
switch on the compressor tank.  It does draw a lot of power on a single
phase line, but that's to be expected.
