Re: [MBZ] Where can a guy find a hex key?
if you can't find the hex socket set at Autozone, I have an extra set. 14mm should fit. Sunil Hari -Original Message- From: Zoltan Finks [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subj: [MBZ] Where can a guy find a hex key? Date: Mon Apr 17, 2006 1:22 pm Size: 649 bytes To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] This is nuts. All I need is one hex key to change out my starter (83 240D) and all sets that I can find in stores only go up to 10mm. We don't have Harbor Freight around here, but we have Northern Tool. No luck. Same deal at Sears. And they all come in sets, not individual. Do I have to chase down a tool truck and pull it over? Is it a 13 mm?

Re: [MBZ] Seat Belt Problem
it's called a buckle, or the male end. Buy a new assembly; there's no way to get a new buckle on (that I can think of). Sunil Hari -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subj: [MBZ] Seat Belt Problem Date: Wed Apr 26, 2006 3:59 pm Size: 1020 bytes To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Howdy - On my '91 300D 2.5 W124 the thing that plugs into the female thing when I connect the seat belts together (don't you love all these technical terms I use??) is broken. It still snaps into place but the edges are shop and I usually end up cutting my hand on the sharp edges as I buckle up - Is it possible to replace just the 'male' buckle part or should I replace the whole assembly? Next question - where can I finds the parts I'll need?

[MBZ] W124 200D 5sp?
I saw a w124 200D with 5 speed manual euro lights. Not for sale (I asked) but how rare are these?

I love that woman. Curt, Yo surely have every reason to keep the woman and leave the house! She sounds great! Would you consider paying up for an Arizona rust free sun yellow 116 diesel that looks great, runs great, and has had many, many things rebuilt or replaced over the 20 years that I have had it. It should travel well with no additional work but who knows! I think it is worth $4500. The engine has about 20,000 miles on a serious rebuild that should run for a long time. I have receipts for new parts and machine work totaling over $2700, I did all the labor. Same with the AC, the driveshaft, motor mounts, etc., etc, etc. The palomino gold interior looks really good and the seats have been removed and renovated, with new horsehair pads in back. Front and back bumper skins and rubber replaced, new headlight surrounds (with spare Euro headlights. The 100 watt US headlights may be the best you will have ever seen and I can't justify changing to the Euros). No trailer hitch though! And it is not clear if you were thinking diesel power. I am getting past the point where I can keep maintaining my fleet, and must consider parting with my baby. You would be first in line.
