Or, “How much do you want to pay to make it worth our while?”

They’re still harassing me about bringing my 2008 ML550 in for the brake 
booster recall check. Thing is, if they check it and find that it is affected 
(I’m pretty sure it’s not) they won’t let you drive the car off the lot. Or so 
I’ve been told.

I do have to sort of chuckle, as their “dead cart” offer (when you put

Re: [MBZ] Parts cleaner

Have a look on Youtube as well for videos on upgrading your HF parts 
washer. Mostly a  matter of moving the pump into a 5 gallon pail under 
the tank and putting a filter inline to clean the solvent.

Re: [MBZ] Parts cleaner

[Allan Streib via Mercedes]

I have not built one but I agree there's nothing to them but a box and a pump.

I bought a cheap HF one years ago. Used it a few times, then it ended up 
sitting for a long time. Don't even know if it still works.  But it worked fine 
at the time and I'd guess it's as cheap as anything you'd make yourself from 
comparable parts.

I used a strong solution of simple green as the cleaner, IIRC. Didn't want it 
to be anything flammable.

If you make one out of plastic I'd be cautious about using any flammable 
solvent. Plastic will melt quickly in a fire and then you've got a big problem 
on your hands.

Re: [MBZ] Parts cleaner

[OK Don via Mercedes]

I've been thinking of making one using an old stainless darkroom sink when
I get around to rebuilding an aircraft engine. A 5 gallon can of solvent
(mineral spirits, paint thinner, etc.) and pump and a filter of some kind
and some hose.
I was buying parts cleaner solvent in a 5 gallon can from Tractor Supply,
but I can't find it on their website now.  I use it with a siphon sprayer
and air hose to wash down the Cessna engine and belly each year.

[MBZ] Parts cleaner

[Buggered Benzmail via Mercedes]

I was thinking that a small parts cleaner would be useful. I see this one and 
it seems to be basically a box with a tray and some sort of submersible pump to 
circulate cleaning solvent. Nothing exotic about that. A comment says the pump 
is akin to a HF pump.

Anyone ever put something like this together?  Plastic storage bin, pump, 
screen tray… not much engineering to that. Diesel fuel as cleaner solvent?  Or

Re: [MBZ] Parts Runner for Jaime?

[Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes]

With a generous handful of annoying issues:

*Original Car radio does not work and sometimes the window switches will
not roll down the windows. SRS light is on. Center ac vent is stuck closed.
*
*These are Common W124 problems that are easily fixable if you have the
time.*
* Interior is near perfect! *

Hi Dan. It would help to know if you need the om606.962 or .961
(non-turbo). They are different. I have an extra non-turbo one. There is a
depression where the charge pipe goes over the cover.

[MBZ] Parts Request

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

I’ve already run this by Clay, our “parts du jour” member, but I figured I 
would put this out to the general population just in case…

I’m looking for the top cover on the OM 606 engine, a black plastic cover that 
is on top of the valve cover and under the crossover pipe. Mercedes part number 
606 010 0 067.

If you’ve got one of these or come across one, let me know.  I would want the 
hardware that holds it ons as well, which consists of a number of socket head 
cap screws as well.  I have most of them but it would be good insurance to have 
extras…

For what it’s worth I can get a new one for a little under $100.  I figure a 
decent used one that’s not in poor shape is probably worth $50 shipped to me.

Well maybe if you keep losing parts, you'll get better mileage as the car

Re: [MBZ] Parts

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

The W124 clutches don't typically leak out like the later W140 ones. The 
bimetallic spring gets ‘tired” and fails to engage at the proper temperature, 
if at all.  You can bend the bracket the holds the spring to change the point 
of engagement, but after a while even that won’t get it to work.  Someone has 
bent the crap out of the bracket on mine, so I’m not even going to consider 
reusing it - I want to install a new one.

And mine doesn’t appear to engage at all, which is really noticeable at idle in 
traffic on a hot day.

The Self Leveling Suspension is generally unique to the wagon.

* I like the wagons, and like the SLS.  

* I have a few wagons, none with good engines.  One just worn out. 

* I had SLS pump trouble on one of the wagons and gather parts and
  got new seals and managed to get one non-leaking pump.  But it's
  not really in good shape.

* Every wagon _I_ have looked at has an abused SLS system.  The
  best have had old, cruddy oil.  The worst are dry so the pump
  runs without lube!

* I have a few sedans with viable engines - but no SLS pump drive

* To retain SLS, I need to put a SLS head on.  Or machine the
  sedan head.  Or figure out a way to use some other pump, maybe
  electric.  Or buy a "new" pump for about the same - or more -
  than a parts car.

* Therefore, I would like to improve my wagon situation and so am
  on the lookout for good cars, parts cars, or engines.

[MBZ] Parts

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

I was doing some cleaning of the storage locker today and came across a nice 
W140 grille and a set of front lower control arms for a W140.  Pretty sure this 
stuff came with the Tommiemobile.

If any of this is something you can use,. drop me a note and we can work 
something out. Understand that the lower control arms are pretty heavy.

If anyone has a parts wagon in their area that is worth looking at, let me

Essentially that is the drill here in WA, or was when I procured the

The registered letter was returned
No-Such-Person-Here-No-Forwarding-Address.
The unopened letter was all I needed to get the car titled in my name,

[MG via Mercedes]

Make sure you get it all notarized. Even with that I would still 
have him get a title and then transfer it to you. I think there 
is a penalty to be paid because it wasn't titled in Fl right 
away. Offer him $500 as is with the title the way it is or $2000 
with a good Fl title.

Check with your local sheriffs office or municipal police, they may even

[Kaleb C. Striplin via Mercedes]

Did they write in the current owners name in the title as the buyer to transfer 
it to? If so he needs to get the title in his name. If the person is named on 
the title now just signed it and the buyers space is blank, then all you have 
to do is put your name in as the buyer.

get him to spend the bucks tomorrow to get the title in his name.  Then
he can sell it.Then you can buy it.   Maybe even offer to pay the
title fee for him as part of the sale.

If you "skip a generation" then you have to be sure the title does not
have his name as the buyer and does have the seller signed off.  then
with the bill of sale, you might be ok, unless you need to show a bill
of sale for tax purposes, in which case the bill of sale seller needs to
match the title seller.

Re: [MBZ] Parts car for Kyle!

[Kyle Arola via Mercedes]

That was a whole load of butthurtedness.

Emailed Jerry and told him no with Florida title I was not interested
anymore and if he got the title to let me know as I am interested in the
car.

Easy for me. I will get a parts car soon enough.

Re: [MBZ] Parts car for Kyle!

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

I had a similar issue with my 1962 300SE that came out of California.  And all 
I can say is that if you haven’t ever dealt with the CA DMV, you’re a very, 
very lucky person.

I walked into the Florida tax collector’s office with a bill of sale and a 
letter from the attorney who probated the estate the car came out of stating 
that the car was a part of an estate they had power of attorney for the owner 
and that they were conveying ownership to me.  The folks in FL couldn’t have 
cared less.  No CA title - no title in Florida.  Went back to the attorney who 
told me “tough beans” and ultimately the State of CA.  Essentially they said 
that the only way I would get a clear title was to pay the 5-6 years worth of 
non-operation fees and penalties (in person!) That was about $1800 at the time. 
 Yeah.

I ended up paying about $500 to a company in Alabama that washed the title and 
sent me a clean AL title in my name.  Walked into the FL tax collectors office 
the next week and walked out with a FL title and registration.

Yeah, this has all sorts of butthurt all over it.  Florida isn’t going to let 
him off the hook on this because they want their pound of flesh.  You can do 
“pass through” titles in Florida but only by dealers that I know of.  Otherwise 
you’ve got to title and register the car within the statutory time frame (30 
days?) or the owner has to pay big penalties.

I don’t see how this guy thinks he’s going to unload the car without a valid 
Florida title.  Florida is a lot like CA in the way that it gets its claws into 
the transaction whether you like it or not.

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

In some states if theres a significant delay between when the title was signed 
and when the sale went through you might be charged a fee. I had to pay an 
extra $50 on the Jetta because the previous owner had signed and dated the 
title when they donated it...

You need to tell him he has to do it or he can't even sell it for 
scrap.  The junkyards need a clean title in the current owner's name.
