Re: [MBZ] Ice vs X5

We each have several pairs of studded rubber things you put on your shoes. Work a treat for walking in icy conditions. Last year we were putting out signs on the snowmobile trails and it was super icy. I had no issues with my cleats on, everybody else was sliding all over.I lost a pair a couple

Dewalt? They're making some good press with that 60v stuff. They've even got a tablesaw thats supposed to be pretty good. Good job bargaining it, to get it for less than have of MSRP is very impressive! -Curt On Friday, January 5, 2018, 11:42:39 PM EST, WILTON via Mercedes

Re: [MBZ] Alternator rack and pinion mounting bracket pic

IIRC my (Dwights, Dimitri's) '78 240D had the same issue. I used a bar to tension it a couple times. I *think* when we did the head gasket I took the conflagration off, welded the teeth and cut them back to shape with a grinder. I do remember I had to adjust that belt a lot... -Curt On

Re: [MBZ] Someone Critique This For Me

I own an 84 xj6 for a few years. If the interior has been kept up, it's like driving a Rolls at one-tenth the price. We had some issues with it, but since the mileage was so low the dealer usually took care of the problems. The newer models are if anything more attractive, so if he can get it for
