Re: [MBZ] 1983 240D Parts -
Thanks Greg! There are lots of good MB part in thingverse. 4 pages of em, including the CC cable adjuster, it sez for 116, but I'm sure it fits many other models of that era. Now I need to look for or design the Little plastic bippy that goes in the throttle linkage on the 240Ds. I have access to printers in the summer at the Fablab. The 107 visor clips have been ridiculous or unobtanium for years. Someone started making them in the back yard or garage and selling online, so they are only $10-15 per pair now. Still stupid prices for 2 little prastic bits, but far better than unobtainium.

Re: [MBZ] 1983 240D Parts -
OK, here you go: In October of 1996, I walked into the Parts Department at Precision Motorcars, now MB of Tampa. I made sure I was speaking with a wholesale parts guy, to which I said: “I buy between $2,000 and $5,000 worth of parts annually. I would like to spend that money here rather than spread it around between sellers on the Internets. What can you do for me?” He immediately took my personal information and set up an account with a wholesale discount (approximately 25% off list) that I receive on all the parts I buy plus any swag the dealer sells in their little “boutique”. 22 years later and that parts guy retired earlier this year. His “replacement” is a woman who has worked the counter there for longer. There are two other parts people who have been there as long that know who I am as well. They treat me very well, as I respect their efforts and time and make sure the corporate brass get a letter every couple of years expounding on the excellent job they all do for me. The parts people have given me access to a number I can text my parts lists and orders to. This is nice, as it eliminates all the phone chatter and increases accuracy. If I have needs and don’t know numbers, I give them the last 8 of the VIN and a description and I’ll have a response texted back to me usually within an hour. I also make sure all of my parts orders are “stock orders”, meaning that they come in 2-4 business days after ordering. The dealers get a spiff from Mercedes for stock orders that saves them money on shipping and applies to their monthly quota of purchased parts. This is an important metric for the dealers. When I need something “VOR” (next day) they gladly do this for me at no extra charge, as they’re way ahead of the game with the stock orders I place. That’s it. Oh, yeah - in the next week or two I’ll pop in at lunch time with 2-3 large pizzas for the people on the parts counter. Inside the lid of each will be a “thank you” message from me. -D > On Dec 3, 2018, at 3:14 PM, Rick Knoble via Mercedes > wrote: > > Dan P says: > >> Check your parts prices with MB of Naperville IL. > > IIRC, you have a special relationship with your local dealership parts > department.

Try Ecklers performance4benz. I don't recall that their visor clips were that spendy.

Re: [MBZ] 1983 240D Parts -
Meyle used to be pretty good stuff. Now it's just another name you find on generic parts. Up to you to determine whether Mann is worth $7 more than generic. Seems like somebody said Mann only on one of the transmission filters, but I don't remember if that was W123 or W124. Rock Auto has Motorad fuel and oil filler caps for about $2 each. I assume they're 'good enough'. Gates and Stant for a bit more $$$. If you're ordering from Rock you can get Mann oil filters for $7 or Champion Labs for $4.40. And Mann prefilters are $20 for a bag of ten. Seems like Rusty used to charge me about $1.50 for them 15 years ago. I like to keep a couple of prefilters in the glove box of every diesel. ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

Re: [MBZ] 1983 240D Parts -
Check your parts prices with MB of Naperville (IL). Definitely buy the center bearing from Mercedes - it comes in a kit form with a new boot and the retention rings. You won’t get these from an aftermarket supplier, and the price will be almost the same. https://www.mboemparts.com There’s a promo code for free shipping from them, too. I need to look it up. I’lll post it momentarily. Kleb will probably pipe up and say “Importec”, which is fine, but they won’t have the OE bearing kit. I always stick with Mann, as I trust them. Meyle often reboxes Asian garbage. Look for a Mann part number with “/KIT” after the number, which will have all the bits needed to do the complete filter/fluid swap. And yes, you’re going to get boned for visor clips. No good way around that one. -D > On Dec 3, 2018, at 12:38 PM, Mike Esh via Mercedes > wrote: > > Does anyone want to sell any of the following.
