Re: [MBZ] euro sec
She is getting a bit more rusty than I had wanted, so figure I should just strip her and haul her off for a coat of paint. Lot of little things, like changing out the front and rear window (seals, chrome glass), as well as getting new door seals, fresh side view mirror, silver vent cover instead of the painted one, real antenna instead of the hanger and bunged up fender hole. The pitted front and stone chipped hood want loving too. Might as well fix the hole in rockers before paint. At some previous date there was clear coat put on some panels, that needs to be dealt with. I figure I get all the shiny bits off, I do not need the maaco boys to waste time with masking tape, just paint it all, and I can put the goodies back. I am sort of peeved that a little mutant snot kid ripped the driver door trim back. Now I need to source some. On Tuesday, November 22, 2005, at 04:35 PM, Kaleb C.

Chris Peter Frederick [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:Since we do not have anything resembling good data from the climate prior to the last ice ages it would be pure speculation to say we are on the edge of a new ice age, but there is more evidence than that. I suspect that during the first millenium after Christ, there was in fact an open Arctic ocean. Remember, Greenland was famable in those days (instead of having glaciers down to the water in all those souther valleys) and was heavily colonized by the Danes. There was much more rainfall in the Mediteranean, especially on the southern side, and the Sahara desert was much smaller. Arabia also had much more rainfall. During Roman times, the middle east was completely deforested, and aquired the climate it has today (semidesert to desert). How much of that was human activity and how much was changing climate is impossible to tell, but I would bet deforestation had something to do with it. Ditto for global warming -- no one seems to want to discuss deforestation, but it has huge effects on rainfall and lower level storm activity. Anyway, there was a distinct little ice age in Europe in the 1500-1800 period -- Boston harbor froze shut, the Thames froze solid some years running in the winter (remember, southern England is semi-tropical today -- Plymouth within half a mile of the coast is frost-free, palm trees and all). I have wondered what would happen if the Arctic and Antarctic oceans warmed up. Typically, the very cold water from the ice sheets drops below the warmer salt ocean water and forms the deep return stream for the Gulf Stream in the Atlantic. In recent years, the meltwater is warm enough that it is less dense than the saline ocean water, and there is more of it, and it does not sink, rather remaining on the surface. This cold slug of mineral depeleted water has had a large impact on the cod fishery, compounding the serious overfishing that was going on. The combination resulted in the collapse of the cod fishery. I have a feeling that loss of icecap may very well result in a re-arrangment of the ocean currents in the Altantic (and probably Pacific as well) -- I wonder what Europe will look like if the Gulf Stream goes across the Atlantic and down Africa instead of up the US coast and over to England? As I tried to point out to my Ecology classes, climate is a metastable system. It will always be be a closed system. but the actuall flows of water and wind can take any number of self-reenforcing patterns. Land climates will be quite different if the water patterns are different.

And it didn't seem blue-ish like burning oil, nor was there a burnt-oil smell, or any oil collected in the tailpipe. The smoke is normal Remember, this thing is shrowded in mystery because the breakdwon occurred while I was not around and someone else put a bunch of miles on it - possibly someone was allowed to drive it who had little sense (girlfried, drinking buddy? - the truth is hard to come by someitmes). Or it could be that there was a problem with the engine when be bought it. The kid we got it from claimed his dad replaced the engine before his death. But with 120k on the clock, I don't see why. Maybe he put in a crap engine? Or did improper repairs? I don't have much faith in the previous owner. The other scenario would be its being run out of oil and driven dry of oil. The thing was using oil shockingly fast when I drove it around, but I have since been told that if the car sits for a long period (it sat for around a year), it often consumes oil for a while when it is first driven again. Also, I was told that if one fills the oil up to the full mark (which I did repeatedly), it will burn it down fast. It was almost certain to have been run out of oil. These things will use/leak some oil and whoever was driving it without permission probably didnt check it. A small bit of evidence in favor of the blown head gasket is the coolant level being significantlly low (it wasn't when I was using it). I know, inconclusive, but still evidence. Thats not very good evidence. So, Marshall/others, what would be the indicators of a blown head gasket? What would be the indicators of siezing due to lack of oil? If the engine is really siezed it would only because by A: Ran out of oil and it locked up B: Threw a rod and got stuck C: Timing chain broke and it got stuck. You could pull the oil pan and tell real quick whats going on if it was run out of oil or if it threw a rod. Pull the valve cover to see if the timing chain is broke. My money is still on they ran it out of oil. Seen it many times. Some have suggested a broken timing chain. Wouldn't this be a sudden seizing? This siezing wasn't sudden.

A blown head gasket (relatively rare) is almost always replaced with the engine in the car. Usually/often the timing chain is replaced as well (unless it's relatively new). Why do you think the head gasket is blown??? A blown head gasket WON'T usually cause an engine to seize unless you allow it to run until the engine to overheat excessively - and if you do that, a LOT more than the head gasket will need to be replaced before the engine will run again.

[MBZ] Storing for Winter
I bet there are lots of good opinions on this one- but here goes. What is the best procedure for storing a diesel? Will the tires develop flat spots if I leave it parked 3 months in the garage this winter? Should I take the battery into the warm house or leave it in the cold garage with a trickle charger. I bought a $130 Noah fabric MB cover at the dealer- considering the beautiful fit and the fabric used, it is a real bargain. I will cover the car in the garage because I always seem to hit the car with something. Thanks for the advice- this is my first storage of a car.

Re: [MBZ] Short term storage
If you are worried about flat spots you can also lift your car up a few inches and put blocks under it to take the weight off the tires and wheel bearings. Or you can completely remove the tires and store them. Since its not really long term storage it won't hurt to just park it and keep it covered. This is what I do, so its suggestion only. Of course a oil change is recommended as well as a full gas tank and a additive to keep moisture out of your fuel system. 69 280 SEL 120,000 Miles 72 350SL 108,000 Miles 2004 VW Passat 4 Motion 1999 Mazda Miata -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wed, 23 Nov 2005 21:40:01 EST Subject: [MBZ] Short term storage What is the best procedure for storing a diesel?

Should I take the battery into the warm house or leave it in the cold garage with a trickle charger. Not a trickle charger unless you want to kill the battery. Use a battery maintainer.

[MBZ] odometer skipping
This evening as I drove off in my 82 240D, I heard for the first time a periodic clicking type sound coming from the instrument cluster. In checking, I found that the trip odometer wasn't turning. I'm guessing some gear wheel is not engaged properly with whatever it is supposed to turn. What is the action to take to correct this? Am I further damaging it by continuing to drive? Should I disconnect the speedometer cable to avoid further damage? I cut short my trip and went directly back home, so I don't know if this is affecting the main odometer. Looking for a solution. Thanks in advance. Jerry 82 240D Beginning to fall apart

Tom, Expect a ridiculously low-ball number from the adjuster.

She offered me $750 and I could keep the car. I always insist that I keep the car. I laughed at her offer and told her to start with $1,500 and we would have a serious conversation. She immediately said If you will settle for $1,500 we can settle today. I picked up my check an hour later. This was a year ago...I'm still driving the car. Ken If I can't fix it, it don't get fixed MB's up to year 1976...too many to list. (Well...also one big boat 126 1982 300SD)

[MBZ] Thanks and an OT insurance question
I also say Thanks to everyone on the list. And I have an insurance question (boat not car). I've never made an insurance claim in my life. But my sailboat (in storage at a boatyard for the winter) blew over in a windstorm 10 days ago and sustained considerable damage. My insurance company and the boatyard's insurance are currently arguing over who's responsible. I'm expecting to get an offer from one of them for damages. I'm pretty sure it won't be totalled. I'm estimating that the damage will cost about $15K to fix and the boat is worth maybe $25K to $30K. My feeling is that I would prefer NOT to repair it, since I probably wouldn't trust the boat in harsh conditions and we've been thinking of changing boats anyway.

Re: [MBZ] odometer skipping
Push the reset button in and let it snap back out, this usually clears it. This happens once in a while on my 300D, doesn't seem to cause any trouble other than that the trip odometer doesn't record. If the odometer starts to slip (not record milage) but doesn't make any noises, it's time to glue the zinc drive gear back on -- this will eventually happen, I believe, to all VDO odometers someday. Easy fix, seems permanent. Do NOT reset the odometer while the car is moving, this will evetually cause the zinc gear to start slipping. Peter

Re: [MBZ] Painting Cars WAS - euro sec
Kaleb said:one of these days Im going to learn and attempt a paint job
here at
home. surely cant be that hard.
Hi Kaleb,
I had the same idea. Take a look at my 1st paint job -
http://members.rennlist.com/my_911/Index.htm to see what I went thru.
Mostly it's a matter of sanding - and sanding - and more sanding. lol
The actual paint spraying is relatively quick - but as you no doubt suspect,
the preparation is the part that paint shops charge the big $$'s for. I
ended up spending almost 18 months doing this - but I'm disabled and could
only work on low-pain-level days - probably 2 or 3 per week. And I didn't
always want to play with the 911 on those days.. If I were to work at it 3
or 4 hours per day, 4 or 5 days per week, I could finish it in 3-4 months.
And BTW, putting all that stuff *back* on the car was time consuming because
I'd see a flaw on a part and decide it needed work or replacement.
If you get to the point that you want to take a whack at it feel free to ask
any questions you might have --
and I'm sure there are many others on the list with much more experience
than I who could be more helpful.
Sincerely,

Re: [MBZ] Thanks and an OT insurance question
#1: Don't let them get the idea that you don't want the boat. #2: Don't settle for an estimate and attempt to take the money and do the repairs with it under your direction. There can be a lot of hidden issues. Best way is to have the insurance people contract a boat yard to fix it to your satisfaction and pay them. I did it the #2 Don't way when my motorboat got run into at the dock and got screwed big time. On 11/24/05, Ron Dwelle [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I also say Thanks to everyone on the list. And I have an insurance question (boat not car). I've never made an insurance claim in my life.

My insurance company and the boatyard's insurance are currently arguing over who's responsible. I'm expecting to get an offer from one of them for damages. I'm pretty sure it won't be totalled. I'm estimating that the damage will cost about $15K to fix and the boat is worth maybe $25K to $30K. My feeling is that I would prefer NOT to repair it, since I probably wouldn't trust the boat in harsh conditions and we've been thinking of changing boats anyway.

Re: [MBZ] 280SE resto cost
you are absolutely correct. I helped a guy thru a restoration of a 280SE
cabr. and it was $60k almost 20 years ago! Course that was when classic car
prices were going crazy and he thought he'd get his money back. Shortly
after he finished the prices started to slide -
Making money (or just breaking even) on the restoration of old cars is a
tricky situation --and is often a losing proposition.

Thanks again, Ron Dwelle Ron - I only know what my experience has been with attempting not to fix on an insurance claim - others on the list are no doubt more knowledgeable of such things. The company will assume that you are fixing the boat, and want to make sure you use 'their money' to make the boat valuable once more. Thus some [all?] companies make the check out to the repair shop that is approved to do the work. Being in a similar situation with a car I no longer wanted I worked out a deal with a friend who had a relationship with a repair shop so that he took the vehicle 'as is' [to repair it himself] and the shop endorsed the check with me paying the tax on the shop charge. Friend go a repairable car for a cheap price [subtracting the insurance amount from the price, the insurance company was no longer insuring the car so it's insurability did not matter, and other than the tax bill I got the repair $ and the rest of the price of the car. Not certain if it followed the letter of the law, but it cost no one more than they would have paid. A most happy thanksgiving to all, and for the assistance when needed. I can not do the work any longer, but I know what the situation is a whole lot better when I talk to the mechanics.

I had my share of blown headgaskets. Since Brian does not know when and how whatever happened, one sure way to tell if it is the gasket is to look at the oil and the coolant.

[MBZ] HAppy Thanksgiving
Menu:
An appropriate serving of Rebel Yeal for the Boys. I'll consume
Gentleman Jack. They can wait for the Jack until their later years.
Prime Rib. A good Vet could bring it back to life. Turkey? Why
would I consume something that eats with it's pecker?
Homemade Mince Pie. I cheat here, make the mincemeat with beef. My
receipt calls for 1 qt. of brandy, I put some in the pie too!
Best to you all.

Re: [MBZ] Head gasket blown?
Why not do a blow down test? One at a time, put each cylinder at TDC, feed in some compressed air and see what happens. Is there a reason this should not be done on a diesel? Harry Watkins Newton, MS 86 SDL Silver 85 300D Euro 86 SDL Gold 81 240D manual trans

Re: [MBZ] Head gasket blown?
As I recall, the original post reported a seized engine. Best to take a look before trying to force the engine to rotate. I'd still like to see more info on what to look for and how to interpret the results of a blow down test - if anyone has a link or document they could forward.

Not forgetting the canines, a walk is in order (Minnesota vodka warming veins). No, the dogs just get water. What can I say - super premium dog food is expensive.

Re: [MBZ] Head gasket blown?
How about removing the glowplugs and then attempt to rotate the crank. That will tell you instantly if it is truly a hydrostatic lock situation. Also it should then turn quite easily, no need to apply a lot of turning force and compound any damage.
