[MBZ] UAE Vehicle-age

For the scant five days I was in Abu Dhabi I noticed the following: Etihad Airways has a huge fleet of black e200 wagons. Awesome wagon. I noticed immediately that each Mercedes had the odd factory badging, “EMC” on the right. I was unfamiliar with that so I asked and found out that EMC is

Is anyone around Woodstock, Georgia that could look at a 300D for me. The engine is out and I just want to ensure it is as rust free as the seller claims. I am thinking of having it shipped to Michigan or driving down and hauling it back on a tow dolly. I will get the address if anyone is

Can the side bearings and seals be replaced without a special jig or other special tools? I will have to check the FSM. I've got a nice differential that I can swap in, probably less hassle. -- Max Dillon Charleston SC '87 300TD '95 E300 On October 10, 2018 1:17:50 PM EDT, Karl Wittnebel

Thanks. Should be in interesting watching how Michael plays out. Forecasting models are more and more accurate, so I don't expect there will be any huge surprise. Their biggest difficulty is in predicting how much a storm will strengthen, or weaken as it passes over tropical waters.. On Oct 10,

Just looked at the wind graphics, I think the winds will diminish quite rapidly over land.  Looks like it is also going to be a bit further inland so the coastal areas won't get much, maybe some where it heads offshore again up around OBX.  I'm sure the vast estate will get some blow and a bit

Yes they are both 2.65. I will also have an extra 185mm 2.65 diff shortly, as I am swapping to the 210mm stuff with LSD. Worn clips wont cause the knock. Changing those bearings and seals is easy. You can also do the pinion seal. On Mon, Oct 8, 2018, 9:20 PM Craig via Mercedes wrote: >

Parts of it. There are some pretty heavily populated parts where it’s moving through. We’re getting rain bands from the hurricane, but it’s an otherwise typical day around here. Just glad this went to the west and left us alone. -D > On Oct 10, 2018, at 11:27 AM, Andrew Strasfogel via
