Re: [MBZ] We are selling the car because we have decided to join the tiny house movement and have sold everything we own to live in a school bus

[Allan Streib via Mercedes]

Hmm... the ad copy has changed a little. Has gone from "We are selling the car 
because we have decided" to "I am selling the car because I have decided"

Sounds like at least one person has bailed on the idea of living in a school 
bus.

I’ve done this on cars I wasn’t interested in. That is, I went to look at one 
and decided I didn’t want it. I’ll usually offer advice to address issues, 
deficiencies or offer marketing ideas if the owner seems interested. It’s the 
right thing to do in my mind. Of course, there have been some I wouldn’t give 
the time of day to if they were asses, even if there was a simple fix.

Exactly.  Even considered selfishly, assery makes it less likely that you
can buy other such vehicles in the future.

Good.  (Literally!)

My bet is that it's the CPS, and if it isn't it probably needs one soon anyway.
That and the can of WD-40, and maybe you're golden.

Our suddenly cantankerous and strand-ey E320 has behaved flawlessly since
the CPS was replaced.  Good thing it had only ever done it to me, else the wife
probably would not drive it.

Nah, you're right, no reason to be an ass about it.  I have actually

I was raised to not do this kind of thing.  Part of maintaining civilization is 
not rubbing peoples'
faces in their 'mistakes' of this sort.  The art of the deal is that _both_ 
parties feel like they got
the advantage.

Tow it around the corner, and _then_ fix it and drive it home.

I was raised to not do this kind of thing.  Part of maintaining civilization is 
not rubbing peoples'
faces in their 'mistakes' of this sort.  The art of the deal is that _both_

That's exactly what I was thinking, or some connector got knocked 
loose.  Get the CPS, show up, do the deal for less, pop the CPS on in 
the street or driveway in 15min and drive the thing home and they will 
feel screwed but think you're some kind of genius.  Or then say they can 
have it back for $500 more which is what the stealer or a shop would

four-cylinder pumps were an added benefit.

As Jim said, you could use his test refrigerant to check the system out
before committing to R-12. I think, though, it will work only during your
"cool" seasons.

IIRC, the test refrigerant has a upper temperature limit above which it
does not cool effectively. Grant being in Arizona would most certainly
hit that limit frequently.

Re: [MBZ] We Gone and DUN it!

[Curley McLain via Mercedes]

From the description, I think the sprinter dimension is saying it could 
run circles inside a 50' square or circle, (OD) while the hondog gives 
turning radius, which is half the inside front tyre to inside front tyre 
circle.   (Tyre ID)   so we really don't know which turns tighter.


My H beats both, as it has a turning radius of about 6" depending on 
traction and tires.



Randy Bennell via Mercedes 
December 6, 2019 at 3:41 PM
Google search suggests the Sprinter needs 47'6" and the Odyssey needs 
33' 2".

I might be comparing apples to oranges as the descriptions are different.
For the Sprinter the data says 47'6" wall to wall turn and for the 
Odyssey it says 6.05 M turning radius so I assumed the turning circle 
was double the radius.
However, I wonder if the Sprinter includes the overhanging bits front 
and back and if the Odyssey numbers are just at the wheels. I would 
think, however that the Sprinter has much more overhang, especially on 
the back and thus would likely take more room to turn.

6.05Mx2 = 39'9". Was that the longest model Honda?
Which is still surprisingly good if curb-to-curb (a smaller number than wall to 
wall). 
My Chevy Citation was 39' something curb-to-curb.

This Sprinter has every possible safety assistance technology including blind 
spot monitoring with audible and visual alert, 360 degree camera, front and 
rear parking sensors  and rear cross traffic alert. It also has attention 
assist that will alert the driver if he or she becomes drowsy. If it could 
drive itself, we would be set! It is 29” longer than the Odyssey with a nearly 
2’ longer wheelbase, and it’s 114” tall!

Re: [MBZ] We Gone and DUN it!

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

 Randy,
With a larger vehicle its often easier to back into a parking space than it is 
to back out. I've found in some cases with our Dodge 1500 that sometimes I've 
easily pulled into a space that is now a bugger to back out of.This is a case 
where you backup camera will be really helpful because its in the confined 
space rather than out where you can already see with the mirrors.
The trick of course is to practice, practice, practice. Angie and I went to a 
restaurant the other day where I had to parallel park. I hadn't parallel parked 
in probably 3 years and it took me 3 infuriating tries. I used to be really 
good at parallel parking but a skill not used will atrophy.

I guess Kevin does not have to worry about it, but my first thought was 
about the difficulty in parking a vehicle with a 12 foot wheelbase. I 
sometimes struggle to find parking with my F150. Parking lots are 
tighter than they used to be and the parking spaces are smaller as are 
the lanes between them. I generally look for spots that I can pull 
through because one takes ones life in ones hands when one tries to back 
out of a spot these days. Everyone is in a big hurry and no one wants to 
wait for 30 seconds while one gets out of their way. I am thankful that 
my truck has the back up camera and the sonar doo-dads in the back

Re: [MBZ] We Have Seen the Harness and it Is Us

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

Harness is done.  Pig of a job, but definitely easier than the W140 lower 
harness which is far more complex.

Started right up and idled quite smooth.  Didn’t drive it but I still have an 
ASR light.  Grr.

Tomorrow it gets the hood pad and I start on the paint recovery.  I’m going to 
put the C3 to it again and see if anything new is going on with codes.

Harness is rebuilt.  Took about an hour of work while listening to Terry Gross. 
 I will rest my bones then head back out to reinstall in a few minutes.

[MBZ] We Have Seen the Harness and it Is Us

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

Was planning on rebuilding the lower engine harness on the 400E this morning 
until youngest son sticks his head in my office and says, “Hey Dad, want to go 
to the range at 11:00?”

Yup.

So after a couple hours of range time on an absolutely beautiful Florida winter 
day (80F, 30% humidity, no clouds) we grabbed some lunch and then I started in.

It took me a little under an hour to extricate the harness while listening to 
George Gershwin and Rhapsody in Blue among other things..  You can see a 
picture of the remains here:

http://penoff.com/photodump.html

Far simpler than the W140 lower harness.  Only four small wires and one BIG 
one.  The convoluted tubing that was on it totally shattered and has formed a 
large pile under the car.   I’ve got everything on hand to rebuild it, so after 
I get a cold beverage I’ll head back out to the garage and have at it.

Re: [MBZ] We grow and smoke our own ditchweed in the rural areas

Air cleaner is purposefully black so whoever stripped it is an idiot.
Shiny valve cover is harmless, although it will probably tarnish fairly
quickly.

You should buy it and flip it on BAT.  Max and I could go get it for you

Subject: [MBZ] We like the easy fixes


Oldest son comes home last night and says that Tommy’s S420 is showing 
ABS/BAS/ASR lights and he has no cruise.  Hmm.


I’m thinking maybe a dirty speed sensor on one of the wheels.

Put the Chinee DAS system on the car, let it run a full set of 
diagnostics.  Five minutes later, we have a diagnosis - brake light 
switch.  Notes in the DAS suggest checking the third brake light for 
shorts/grounds.


Look at third brake light - doesn’t work.  Housing is forward 203 inches 
off the base, for some reason (oldest son offers no reasons.)  Check 
lamp - OK.  Put housing back on base, make sure wires ren’t touching 
anything, reinstall cover.


Brake light works, no more error codes.  ABS/BAS/ASR lights are now out 
after clearing codes.


Nice.
