Re: [MBZ] W211 Nanny Mania

Believe it or not, there’s not a W210 to be found around here right now. Not sure what that’s about, but they’re slim pickings for some reason. Might go look a this Buick Lucerne: https://sarasota.craigslist.org/cto/d/bradenton-2007-buick-lucerne-cxl-dads/7149308260.html

Re: [MBZ] W211 Nanny Mania

I woud consider putting him in a W210 sedan if I could find a decent one. I’m just so frazzled over this W211, a part of which is my own fault because of the miles (337k) that are now on it and that it was less than perfect when I got it. he won’t maintain or repair the car, he’ll just drive it

Re: [MBZ] OT - Mini Split AC Units

So do you have to flare the line set no matter what? In other words, is the line set not already flared with the fittings in place for the provided length? Presuming that if it was and you wanted it shorter you would cut it down to length and move the fittings while doing so. -D > On Jun 28, 2

Worked on the oldest boy’s E320 CDI today. He said the left front brake has been making noise, but it works and the pads aren’t worn down. Hmm. Put the car on the DAS and ran a full set of diagnostics. A few bangs, some we expected, like EGR which is disabled, but a couple for the SBC. Ran the S

Re: [MBZ] OT - Mini Split AC Units

The Pioneer unit I was looking at had a 16’ line set included with it. I’ll see if I can find the docs for it and determine if there’s a minimum length. I’m guessing the actual length I’l need will be maybe 10-12 feet at the most. This is one that I was considering if you can see the image - if

Re: [MBZ] OT - Mini Split AC Units

In my case this won’t be used a great deal, that is, maybe one day a week for 6-8 hours, worst case scenario. I’m not sure that dropping $1000 on even an LG makes sense in my case. I notice that you’ve also got to buy a lot of additonal stuff, too, like a line set, cover for the lines, mounting
