Re: [MBZ] Insco Update 1995 E300

to tell me the buy-back price. Adjuster was a little flabergasted at the cost of a fender and a bumper, far higher than modern cars. I think I'll end up with about $3k or maybe a little more, then repair on my own dime. - Max Charleston SC On Thu, May 23, 2019 at 8:37 AM Meade Dillon

Re: [MBZ] Insco Update 1995 E300

A used fender would be fine in my book, if original MB steel. Probably more labor on the part of the shop? Signal lights are easy peasy. Fender liner - I'd patch it and forget it. I wonder if they've already tried to get the parts from MB and found them NLA? - Max Charleston SC

I will definitely buy it back. Going to have a salvage title if that happens. I think I can easily drive this car another 50k or 100k miles. - Max Charleston SC On Wed, May 22, 2019 at 9:36 PM Rick Knoble via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > If you don't buy it back,

[MBZ] Insco Update 1995 E300

After a week at the Geico / Repair shop, I called the adjuster to see what's going on. She says they are having a hard time finding a source of parts for my old car. Damage is to the fender, turn signal, front bumper, and the fender liner. Unsure of the availability of parts and what the cost

Re: [MBZ] Plugging Tires

No, leave the pressure in the tire. If it does go low before you get the plug in, you'll have to pump it back up so the tread is stiff enough that you can push the plug in. - Max Charleston SC On Wed, May 22, 2019 at 8:55 AM Dan--- via Mercedes wrote: > > Should I let most of the

Is this valve also in the compressors used on the 124 cars? Wonder if that is the problem with my '87 wagon. - Max Charleston SC On Mon, May 20, 2019 at 2:46 PM Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > Mine does that, there is a valve in the side of the

I've finally assembled all the parts to make a new oil sucker. I've got an empty jug that used to hold 30lbs of R22, a vacuum pump, and a couple of old AC hoses that I can use to vacuum the tank and then suck out the oil. Next oil change I'm going to employ this set-up: Pull a vacuum on the tank,

Re: [MBZ] SL ranking thoughts

Well, at least he put the Gullwing at the top and got that right! The R107 should not be ranked the last, even though he makes some great points. Congrats that your model is #3. - Max Charleston SC On Mon, May 20, 2019 at 8:09 AM Buggered Benzmail via Mercedes <
