Mitchell Marmel School of Improvisational Mercedes Repair will recall that Rommel has been operating since the spring with a horn button hoseclamped to the turn signal stalk, as well as said stalk being somewhat wonky in the wiper control department. Things came to a head last night, when the wipers, already limited to high speed only, began cutting out entirely when I signalled for a right turn. Time for me to apply the replacement stalk, steering wheel and horn contacts I got from a late, lamented '70 250C at Lou's U-Pull-It. This morning dawned clear and chilly, so, after the cable guy had come and gone (I have finally broken down and gotten cable in my bedroom), I commenced working: 1) Remove screws holding left kick panel in place. 2) Remove bungee cord holding left kick panel in place. (The phrase jerry rigged was coined with Rommel in mind.) 3) Disconnect old stalk plug. Before pulling, check replacement stalk by plugging in. Huzzah! It works! 4) Undo center nut in steering wheel. 5) Lose nut and socket in steering wheel bowl. 5a) Curse Daimler-Benz engineers. 6) Pull steering wheel with gentle tug. 7) Pull steering wheel with firm tug. 8) Give big honking yank. Steering wheel pops free. 9) See 5a) 10) Examine horn slip rings and contacts. Yick. The shift column has, true to its nature, shifted a bit and the tip is digging into the outer ring. Brass shavings everywhere. 11) See 5a) 12) Unscrew stalk, attempt to pull out. Fumble with plug until I get it to pass through the steering column cover. 13) See 5a) 14) Install replacement horn contacts. 15) Try to thread replacement stalk cable through column cover. Plug doesn't want to get with the program. 16) See 5a) 17) Get plug threaded, stalk screwed in and horn contact wires connected. 18) Go to plug stalk cable in. 19) Discover that cable is three inches too short to reach the socket. 20) See 5a), grand slam redoubled in spades. Vow to make hefty contribution to the Track Down 114/115 Engineers and Slap Them Silly fund. Consider that, given some of the design features of the 114/115, this may be redundant, as the engineers were obviously more than adequately silly. 21) Unbolt socket bracket. 22) Discover that socket slides into bracket. 23) See 5a) 24) Detach socket, connect to plug. 25) Carefully positioning replacement steering wheel, place on splines. 26) Give gentle push. 27) Give strong shove. 28) Whack the hub with a large socket and 1/2 extender. 29) See 5a) 30) Using mystic finger contortions, retrieve socket and nut from original steering wheel. 31) Bolt steering wheel down firmly. 32) Turn on ignition key. 33) Horn sounds continuously. 34) Turn off ignition key. 35) See 5a) 36) Unbolt steering wheel from hub to see if ring is the problem. 37) Ring ain't the problem. 38) Rebolt steering wheel to hub, unbolt hub nut and gently yank at steering wheel. 39) See 8) and 5a). 40) Glare hatefully at the tip of the shift lever column. Wonder if Phil is finished with Iltis yet. 41) Spend fifteen minutes or so fiddling with bits of wood, plastic and so forth to make an insulating cap for the shaft. 42) Finally strike on a bit of plastic pipe left over from an 80's vintage Erector set. 43) Slice a 2.5 mm chunk off. 44) Eureka! It fits. 45) Reinstall steering wheel as above. 46) Lose socket in bowl again. 47) See 5a) 48) Unbolt wheel from hub; retrieve socket. 49) Reassembly of wheel and kick panel in reverse of above. 50) Turn on ignition switch. Everything works flawlessly. Damn, I'm good. And so, Rommel has a working horn ring, uncracked steering wheel, fully working wipers and a good turn stalk.

Re: [MBZ] OT, equalizer V bass/treble
At 6:08 PM -0600 2/1/09, Kaleb C. Striplin wrote: OK, I assume that a equalizer is better than just bass and treble adjustments. I have never been able to quite figure out how to adjust an equalizer though. Seems I always have to play with it the whole time a song is going, then the next song seems it needs another adjustment. I was just sitting here listening to some songs on the computer and playing with its equalizer and thought of this question that I have often wondered about. In fact, on my home stereo surround sound, I dont even have the equalizer hooked up anymore for regular non-surround stuff. Any tips, pointers, thoughts etc. Basic idea with an EQ is to tailor the sound to a particular room, speaker set, etc.Quick and dirty method: Find a reference recording of some sort (say, in your case, a Bert Kaempfert CD). Start it going with the EQ flat and listen to the sound. If it sounds muddy, boost the higher frequency sliders. If it sounds tinny, boost the lower frequency sliders. If it sounds flat, boost the midrange a bit. Once you've found the sweet spot, leave it there; that'll be about as good as you're likely to get. -MMM- ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

[MBZ] Insurance Big Brother Widget?
Had a fender-bender in late February, and my insurance rate shot up sharply now that it's time to renew. I have an opportunity to cut my insurance rates in half by having one of those Big Brother widgets attached to the OBD-II in the E420 for a few months. Opinions?

[MBZ] Somebody needs this Jeep!
Here's the deal, kids: This is a Jeep Cherokee. This is not a luxury SUV, or a maintenance-free disposable import. It has solid front axles, wind noise, and character. It's a Jeep. It rides like a Jeep. It drives like a Jeep. All of these are GOOD things. It is not new, it is not pristine, it is used. This will be apparent in the pictures. If you do not own a toolbox, have never changed your own oil, and are scared of firearms: THIS VEHICLE IS NOT FOR YOU. If you have been posting on facebook all about how excited you are for pumpkin latte season: THIS VEHICLE IS NOT FOR YOU. If you get offended easy and often, whine to your co-workers, and bitch a lot: THIS VEHICLE IS NOT FOR YOU. If you feel you are owed anything in the world have a bullshit job where you fail to produce: THIS VEHICLE IS NOT FOR YOU. If you own a bieber album, white oakleys, affliction t-shirts, or those candy-assed stitched-pocket jeans: THIS VEHICLE IS NOT FOR YOU. If you consider the 2nd Amendment an anachronistic relic and have never owned a firearm: THIS VEHICLE IS NOT FOR YOU. If, however, you have BALLS OF STEEL and consider adverse weather an excuse to do stupid shit: THIS IS YOUR JEEP. Do you laugh at danger, and tempt fate? Have you ever uttered the words, Hold my beer and watch this ...? While bored at work do you pick targets at random and think, I could hit that from here with the .22 ...? Have any of your friends quit hanging out because you were too much fun? Do you have the number of a friend with cash memorized for bail? When you pass an abandoned flatbed farm truck along a fenceline do you consider taking on another project? Is your ol' lady really sick of the random piles of parts, greasy footprints, and empty beer bottles in the garage? -could you not care less? Do you have Jalopnik saved on your laptop AND smartphone? Do you own a service manual for every vehicle you ever owned? Do you still miss your first ride? Can you carry on a two hour conversation discussing tools, scars, and hi-lift jacks? Remember when tool companies had the balls to put half-naked beauty queens on their calendars? Do you consider the Prius an abominable affront to the Gods of displacement, torque, and All Mighty Internal Combustion?
