You get a warning from the display to change the battery.  My local dealers
will replace it gratis.  It might hurt sales if there were a proliferation
of fancy Mercedes littering the interstates due to dead keyfobs.

With the GM version, the pocket transponder is continuously transmitting 
(making it easy for a cruiser with a good dish antenna to harvest and 
spoof). When the batteries (a pair of 2032s IIRC) die from the continual 
RF transmission, you slide out the physical key, use it to pop the lid 
off the door handle, and enter the car manually. Then you stick the fob 
in the designated cupholder where a chipreader identifies it like a 
proximity chip credit card.


And up through 2016, if a valet has a blank fob, he can use the original 
fob and the cupholder to pair it to your car.
2017 and later you need two linked fobs in the cupholder to quickly link 
another fob. If you only have one fob, you have to start the process, 
hit the OK button after ten minutes, hit the OK button after ten more 
minutes, and pair the new fob after ten more minutes. The idea being 
it's difficult for a valet to hit the appropriate button at the right 
times over a half hour period.

Re: [MBZ] New Addition to Dan's Acres

[Karl Wittnebel via Mercedes]

It looked like part of the front bumper was gone under the right corner. I
had the same thing happen reversing across a pavement edge.

I think the headliner is such a big item in terms of the value of the car.

These are really good machines. The m119 is just great, electronics aside.
My mechanic had a 400e in with the motor out recently. Loss of oil pressure
caused the timing chain to skip. The owner was having them rebuild the
motor. Mind you it had over 250k on the clock. The guy had no intention of
getting rid of the car.

Re: [MBZ] New Addition to Dan's Acres

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

Front bumper is OE but may need to be freshened up. According to the car’s 
history, it’s been pranged in the front twice and stolen once. All with the 
original owner. The first front end wreck was within a few hundred miles of 
delivery! Dealer appears to have done the work on both instances. No stickers 
on the radiator support = giveaway there’s been front end damage in it’s past.

Not only has factory CD changer but original Becker and they both work. This 
setup is easily modified for an auxiliary input as well.

With only 113k on the clock the back end might not be that bad. We’ll see.

Engine harness was replaced by Mercedes some years ago. Lower harness and ETA 
not that I know of, but they’re probably OK.

Yes, it has ASR.

Headliner will need replacement. My headliner guy will do it for under $200 as 
a carry in. I need the headliner on the SL500 redone, too, so I’ll take both in 
at the same time.

Yeah, I’ll be doing that. Saves the lenses if they’re not in bad shape to start 
with.

Should be a fun project. I’m looking forward to it.

Re: [MBZ] New Addition to Dan's Acres

[Karl Wittnebel via Mercedes]

That is a good deal. Congrats.

The front bumper cover is about 700 from mercedes. I have one of the cheap
ones from Latvia sitting around if I would sell cheap.

Dont back into anything. The rear impact strip is nla and no aftermarket
parts here that I could find.

Factory CD changer is mint! I may need to find one. I wonder if it only
works with a Becker head unit.

They all need the fcp euro rear suspension overhaul.

Did they do the harnesses, or are you going to make one?

16" SL wheels are a nice upgrade.

160mph on 275hp?

Does it have ASR?

How is the headliner?

Amazon clear film on the headlights looks super.

Giving more thought to this it makes sense. It was the same way (and engine) 
with the W140s, too. This was about the time MB started messing with badging, 
too.

Cool. Then my 400E was a sleeper. I never paid attention to the engine numbers. 
They’re probably both 112.974.

Re: [MBZ] New Addition to Dan's Acres

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

In comparison, the 275k 1993 400E I had would do 130 mph before I chickened 
out, with some pedal still left. This one will probably go just as fast, or up 
to 160 mph if it’s got the later brain box in it. The last of these they raised 
the limiter to 160 mph from something like 135 mph or thereabouts.

Slightly better. 4.2 liters of displacement versus 4.0. Facelift model, (94-95) 
so the last and best of the design and enhancements to the W124 chassis.

Just loaded on the truck about 30 minutes ago. Should be here on Sunday or 
Monday.

[MBZ] New Addition to Dan's Acres

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

Bought a 1995 E420 from a guy in Columbus, OH today. Shipper is picking it up 
this afternoon/evening, should be here by Sunday or Monday.

Here are the details:

113k on the clock

Delivery (1995) to 2015 lived in South Florida
Seller bought it in 2015, took it to Columbus, OH
Kept in a heated garage, washed whenever there was snow or ice on the roads
Everything works, all original such as Becker radio, etc.
Has issue with brake booster according to owner, sounds more like a vacuum issue
Has intermittent ASR/ABS fault
Needs driver’s seat bottom cover (tears)
Owner says the paint on the roof is checkered, but I got some close up photos 
from him and if it is, I can barely see it. Might be a Martha thing.
Two sets of wheels (snows and summer)

$1500 sale price

This deal came together so quickly it was scary. We were frantically trying to 
find a way to transfer money around this afternoon after finding out the 
shipper was on their way already. I wasn’t sure I was going to be able to get a 
Hagerty policy issued before it got on the road, but that’s done, too.

More upon arrival. I’ll get it on the SDS and see what’s up with the ASR/ABS. 
I’m convinced the brake booster issue he’s described is a cracked vacuum line.

My youngest is wasting his mother’s retirement funds at a liberal private 
college.  Thinks his degree will be in computers.  He knows nothing about the 
hardware and less about software.  He does play computer games.

The level of difficulty his 200 level comp sci class achieves does not rival 
the ASCII dot matrix picture code the children in 1979 were conjuring up.  I am 
fairly certain the current textbook is meant for coloring and coding is to be 
done in crayons.

Re: [MBZ] New Addition

[Meade Dillon via Mercedes]

I had an ER visit years ago that was not covered by health insurance, ended
up with a few stitches in my thumb after I ripped off the thumbnail with a
sawz-all.  The doctor's cost was about $800 and the ER / hospital charge
was another $1000 or so.  Most painful event of my life, but the thumbnail
grew back beautifully.

Yeah, underemployed opera singer. Great baritone voice. Perfect for radio
and tv.

I love his story about the septic tank guy. They are putting one in a hole
or pumping it and Mike says what's the secret to your success and the guy,
who owns his business and is a multimillionaire, thinks for a minute and
says "everything I have is because I looked around at what everyone else
was doing, and did something else".

I think there is a hustle factor in all those successful entrepreneur guys
though, and some good people skills and street smarts. That is tough to
teach.

Be interested to compare notes on the 648. Mine is all factory ecu in a
123. Figure the rest of the car is easier to maintain, but who knows.

Some kids are college material and some aren't.  IMO, it's criminal to conn a 
kid into running up tens of thousands of student loans to "study" useless stuff 
that will not make them employable.  

I think there are two systemic failures in the current US educational 
establishment: the kids never learn to deal with failure and they never learn 
to think.

No, no shame at all. I was the same way when I was his age. This is a kid who 
was never college bound and we never forced it. He will do well and probably be 
making more than his younger brother, who has a college degree but is 
underemployed. That being said, younger brother loves what he does and is doing 
well, which I can’t fault him for. Not a lot of people out there who love their 
work.

Re: [MBZ] New Addition

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

Thanks, Kevin! That’s pretty much what I figured based on the maintenance 
records. The VMI was 12 pages long - that’s huge and a contender for the 
longest one I’ve ever seen, and the first time I’ve ever seen a reference to an 
“F” service. The owner has a file folder about an inch and a half thick with 
receipts from previous owners, too.

My upholstery guy in CA that has always come through for me is already on the 
hunt for a “reconditioned” cover. If he can’t find one he can recondition the 
one that’s on the car.

Congrats on the new acquisition! With the rather high miles, it has most likely 
had great care to get it there!

Re: [MBZ] New Addition to the Driveway

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

I don’t know if the OBDII thing had anything do do with the facelift in 1996, 
as all of the information was already there - they just weren’t making it 
accessible via the OBDII standards.

We haven’t topped off from the drive back from Mobile, but should be in the 
next day or two.  I’m interested to see what kind of mileage we got.  I don’t 
think 25 MPG is realistic, as I drove the 1998 S420 back from St. Louis and 
only got around 23 MPG.  It’s got to be better than the coupe, as it only got 
around 16-17 MPG on a mixed driving cycle.

I’ll report back as soon as I know.

Re: [MBZ] New Addition to the Driveway

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

Given the choice I wanted 96 or later, but this was a really good deal and a 
super nice car, so I compromised. The likelihood of finding something as nice 
with a well documented past in a reasonable period of time was pretty slim 
based on my earlier searches this year, so I went for it.

There are some tradeoffs, such as purely mechanical transmission (good) versus 
distributor type ignition (not as good) for example.

Life is full of compromises.

Re: [MBZ] New Addition to the Driveway

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

Wherever I can part it.

I had considered trying to sell it on CL “as-is”, but between the need for work 
and the salvage title, I doubt that I’ll get any takers.  I would expect to 
have to price it around $1000 or less or he bottom feeders wouldn’t be 
interested.  LKQ, the only recycler here in town, offered me $250 for it driven 
to their doorstep. I don’t think so.  Right now I’ve got commitments for about 
$400 worth of parts I don’t need, and I haven’t even started to eBay anything.  
Stuff like the rear parcel shelf and door cards are pretty much unobtainium for 
these cars, so I expect those items to go pretty quick when I put them up.

I’ll sell the stuff I’ve got immediate commitments for, put other stuff on 
eBay, and within a week the remains will go to a scrap dealer.  I’ve got a 
small storage unit I can put some things in for a little while while I wait for 
them to sell.  If they don’t go after a month or two, I’ll dump them.

A lot of the hard parts will fit the “new” S420, so I’ll hang on to some of 
them.  The coupe has a lot of things unique to the coupe, and those are the 
things that are going on the various forums and possibly eBay.

Tires are nearly new and are getting swapped over to the 1997 S420, as it could 
use new skins.

If there is anyone here who needs W140 parts, let me know.  I would expect to 
give dibs to anyone here for anything I’m not keeping.

those maybe. What color is the interior? I would probably take the sun visors 
also.

 Wherever I can part it.
 
 I had considered trying to sell it on CL “as-is”, but between the need for 
 work and the salvage title, I doubt that I’ll get any takers.  I would expect 
 to have to price it around $1000 or less or he bottom feeders wouldn’t be 
 interested.  LKQ, the only recycler here in town, offered me $250 for it 
 driven to their doorstep. I don’t think so.  Right now I’ve got commitments 
 for about $400 worth of parts I don’t need, and I haven’t even started to 
 eBay anything.  Stuff like the rear parcel shelf and door cards are pretty 
 much unobtainium for these cars, so I expect those items to go pretty quick 
 when I put them up.
 
 I’ll sell the stuff I’ve got immediate commitments for, put other stuff on 
 eBay, and within a week the remains will go to a scrap dealer.  I’ve got a 
 small storage unit I can put some things in for a little while while I wait 
 for them to sell.  If they don’t go after a month or two, I’ll dump them.
 
 A lot of the hard parts will fit the “new” S420, so I’ll hang on to some of 
 them.  The coupe has a lot of things unique to the coupe, and those are the 
 things that are going on the various forums and possibly eBay.
 
 Tires are nearly new and are getting swapped over to the 1997 S420, as it 
 could use new skins.
 
 If there is anyone here who needs W140 parts, let me know.  I would expect to 
 give dibs to anyone here for anything I’m not keeping.

It does.

The interior is black.

You’re talking about a lot of speakers, as this has a factory Bose system.  All 
of the Becker 1492s I have are rebuilts and have the aux input option, too.

Drop me a PM with an offer.

Re: [MBZ] New Addition

Working on the engine compartment right now.  Dirty, but solid.  The owner was 
not a “car guy” so places where I would normally pay attention are a little 
grungy.

It did pass the back seat test with flying colors, however.  A total of $0.36 
in change and nothing else!  Not even the lone Cheeto.  And I understand the 
owner has at least one and possibly two boys.  That’s a testament to 
cleanliness, as I believe the soul of every car lives under the back seat.  If 
that’s clean, the car has been well cared for.

Otherwise, the interior is nice.  He had the car detailed before I picked it 
up, and it was pretty clean.  There is a split in the seat back on the driver’s 
seat, but I’m amazed there weren’t more with the perforated leather.  It’s 
almost as if it’s designed to tear.

I just clay barred the outside and will be putting some wax to it a little 
later this afternoon.  I’m jumping around as I do things to keep it interesting.

I just programmed all the convenience features, which don’t appear to ever have 
been used.  That’s where the seat and steering wheel move back when you shut 
off the car, move into position based on the key being used, mirrors folding in 
when locked, courtesy lights staying lit, etc. They were all at the default 
settings.

 Nope, just need to move some crap out of the garage, like the old set of
 wheels from the R129.  No Craigslist takers, so I’ll probably sell them for
 scrap this week.  Probably get $75-$80 out of them.  Or I might clean the
 goop off of them and toss them in the storage locker.  Not sure.

 Now that we've got the tree out of the side yard I’m going to have a
 concrete guy come in and pour a pad next to our existing driveway to widen
 it 8’-9’.  That will give us more parking places and allow whoever the
 latecomer is every night to park in the driveway and not on the street.

Not sure it would be worth the shipping.  However, I think they would add a 
great deal to the decor of the original Okie Acres, especially if they were 
just tossed sort of haphazardly onto the existing piles of crap there.  Make a 
nice design statement, almost as good as one of those little hispanic guys

 Time to take a shower and finish some laundry, then start it all over
 again tomorrow at 5:00 am….

 Nope, just need to move some crap out of the garage, like the old set of 
 wheels from the R129.  No Craigslist takers, so I’ll probably sell them for 
 scrap this week.  Probably get $75-$80 out of them.  Or I might clean the 
 goop off of them and toss them in the storage locker.  Not sure.
 
 Now that we've got the tree out of the side yard I’m going to have a concrete 
 guy come in and pour a pad next to our existing driveway to widen it 8’-9’.  
 That will give us more parking places and allow whoever the latecomer is 
 every night to park in the driveway and not on the street.

Do like those guys do, weld some legs on them and make a grill to cook stuff on

Exterior is done.  Got the nasty front license plate bracket off, buffed 
out the headlight lenses, cleaned any and all grease/oil/tar off the 
rockers and lower panels, and gave it a good coat of Collinite Insulator 
Wax #845.  Cleaned the windows, took the mats out of the trunk where the 
former owner’s detail person left them, put them in the car and placed my 
standard boars hair brush in the center console for a quick brush of the 
instrument panel while sitting at a stop light.


Pulled it into the garage (it fits! - barely!) and called it a day.

Not a lot to do at this point until I get the maintenance items in.  I 
need to pick up some Mobil1 tomorrow so I’m ready.

My experience too in a few different engines, both MB diesels and
lesser gassers.

If you don't want a new addition ON your driveway as well as TO the
driveway, avoid 0 weight anything.


Have you ever had an older (more than 15 years or so) MB diesel that did
NOT mark its territory at all?

My 300D has always dripped a little bit, not enough to noticeably affect
levels between changes, but a single drop will leave a mark on the
driveway.

My '77 does not drip.  However, I was at work a while back and noticed
that there were small puddles of oil on many of my usual parking
spots.  The next day I chalked the car, and found a small puddle was
under the battery, but saw no evidence of leaking.  Puzzled over that
one for a couple days; tried to see if there was a cross-member, etc.

Turns out my coworker's relatively new ('02?) Saab was weeping badly.
I hadn't even considered that any of the this-millenium models might
be the cause... :)

[Dillon, Meade M CIV SPAWARSYSCEN-ATLANTIC, 53310]

'Tis possible to replace the bottom plate seal in situ, just not very
easy unless you're good at working via mirror.  Did that job on my '87
wagon, now the only leaks are from the front seal of the power steering
pump and oily black goo from the intake manifold.

Mine neither.   The only leak on the engine is, I believe, from the
seal around the bottom plate on the injection pump.  Since that seal
isn't replaceable in situ, and I'm not going to undertake RRing the
pump just for that, it's going to stay leaking.  But what little oil
comes out doesn't make it to the ground that I've noticed (and, no, I
don't have the plastic skid plates on my engine to catch
drips---someone threw them away a long time ago, as usual).
