There is a nice adjunct business idea to go with the genset
manufacturers. Get some cheap microcontrollers and watt meters and temp
sensors and whatever, network them together, and have them figure out
what needs power when, do some scheduling and management, and tell the
genset what to do.

Not really necessary, as the coolant will disappear when you drain the

Whilst the block and radiator are draining, change the thermostat.
The M103 motor is a pain to change the coolant in, as it traps air up
the top and there is a special plug at the top of the head to let the
air out.

Having just bought a new battery for our '95 E320, I was very frustrated
to come out to a dead car this morning. I had the charging system checked
when I bought the battery and it passed.

what! :-)
I have it on a 6 Amp

Fuse blew repeatably (blue - 18A). I upgraded to a red one (25A). All
good
for a month, but than it blew.
Blue is 24A, Red is 16A. (White is 8A, and I think Yellow is 5A.)
They do not make larger ones. One major cause of fuse death is
overheating due to bad electrical contact in the fuse
Just came across a par of DCM Time Frame 500s.
For you DCM fans out there, are these worth looking into?
Absolutely. I wish I had another set myself. (Already
have one set.) The HT system is using TF400's, would
like them to be TF500's like the stereo, move the 400's
