Re: [MBZ] Cheap rotors

One thing that can cause pedal pulsation is a hard spot in the rotor. Usually happens when you make a panic stop and then hold the pedal down, there is enough carbon in the pads and the rotor is hot enough you add some carbon the the spot under the pads, making it wear less that the rest of

Re: [MBZ] Cheap rotors

I call BS on this as well. Along with the “you can’t turn Mercedes rotors”. As long as the rotor hasn’t exceeded the minimum thickness, there’s no reason why you can’t take metal off of it. OE rotors have a little quarter moon sort of notch in them that is the indicator of minimum thickness.

Having owned all three of those, IMHO, you'd have a great car if you could put the front suspension from the W115 under the W123, but it still would not be as good as the W124 - from a driving/handling perspective. From a maintenance perspective, the W123 beats them all. On Sun, Mar 22, 2020 at

[MBZ] OT: Sausage party

Yesterday was the annual sausage party for the guys I was deer hunting with last fall. We processed all the deer last fall, they keep the backstrap and tenderloin and cut a bunch of the rear quarters for "stew meat" which is the best dammed stew meat you've ever seen. The rest goes into bags

I would never have an Apple watch, but I can sort of see the value for some of the uncommon capabilities it has, like the fall alert for an older person and the health monitoring features. Otherwise it’s a lot of repetitive stuff my phone can do, I think. I like my iPhone’s capability to keep

Re: [MBZ] Hey, here's a noncontroversial Benz idea

I think the Apple watch is horrible, a big old chunk of plastic on the wrist. Makes people that much more self important "Oh wait, I need to check my Dick Tracy wrist indicator." There are so many time pieces around I hardly need a watch. My Marine Star is the only piece of jewelry I own

> I gave up watches when I got the first cell phone. My first cell phone was a bag phone. Not much of a replacement for a watch! But I gave up watches when I started getting Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Haven't worn one since. It's ironic that with the advent of Fitbits and Apple watches, they're

In the lantern collecting world the standard offer for anything is $8. This comes from the old days when lanterns were plentiful in yard sales and you could sometimes get something super rare for cheap. With that in mind, I'll live you $8 each for your watches ;) -Curt On Saturday, March

Re: [MBZ] Hey, here's a noncontroversial Benz idea

I've got a Bulova Marine Star that Angie gave me a few years ago. My favorite watch ever. Sadly at the moment the battery is dead. I should maybe investigate how to get the back off without scratching it... -Curt On Saturday, March 21, 2020, 11:31:39 AM EDT, Floyd Thursby via Mercedes

Re: [MBZ] 124 brakes

Stuck brakes? Could be one of three things, and I've experienced all of them on MB: 1) Stuck caliper 2) Failing hose 3) Failing master cylinder The latter was particularly 'amusing'. Even with the pedal all the way up, the _rear_ brake section wouldn't quite release enough to expose the drain

Re: [MBZ] 124 brakes

I'd replace the hoses too, unless done in the last 5 years or 50,000 miles. Sounds very much like a failed hose lining acting as a one-way valve. Nothing like fun! Peter ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/

Re: [MBZ] 124 brakes

Sounds like a classic case of a swollen brake line? Otherwise a stuck piston/caliper? Beat the dog, not the wife. -D > On Mar 22, 2020, at 12:14 AM, Karl Wittnebel via Mercedes > wrote: > > As I was suiting up to go on some covid room this morning the wife shoots > me a video of the 123
