Re: [MBZ] ahh the 1000SEL
Ever heard of a 240CD? I had one! It's a 300CD running on only 4 cylinders. If I'd had just a few more of the parts, I've long toyed with the idea of putting the 95D motor in one of my generators.

Re: [MBZ] ahh the 1000SEL
A complete 190D 2.2 puts out 72HP, so half would GENERATE 36HP. I would think that would run a sizeable genset (not as big as Big Bertha though).

Re: [MBZ] Hey Look! A bunch of junky cars for sale - P1800
The P1800 is most definitely a car that tended to the 'so ugly it is cute' side of things, unless it was properly cared for and had the appropriate accessories - think of it as an average looking girl.

If there is no voltage and it doesn't run jumpered, time to check ou the KLIMA relay, it's not switching on. You should also watch the compressor when first starting the ACC up -- if the compressor runs a few seconds and kicks out, you are not getting a good speed signal from the compressor to the KLIMA relay, and it will shut of the compressor until you do a power cycle. This can be quite annoying. Finally, you need to jumper the #5 and #7 (I think, will check tonight) sockets in the KLIMA relay socket with a large wire -- this directly engages the compressor. If it then runs and cools properly, you have a problem with the KLIMA relay.

Re: [MBZ] What would you do if diesel/gas cost $10/g
Far too likely to have to vacate from the smell of dead varmint with that stuff. I had the soffit vents covered with wire mesh all the way around the house and ended up trapping a few in the attic. Got most of them out by leaving a corner open for a few hours, but one or two would not leave. I heard them climbing down inside the walls to get to the water in the sump pump that drains the AC air handler, then they went down inside the outside walls [cinder block with cocina] and tunneled out by the AC units. A bag of cement discouraged reentry that way, and we have been varmint free for a couple of months. Mom came out yesterday and told me she was getting an awful racket out of her chimney [also covered with wire mesh], so I assume they are trying another assault on the attic. Good recipes for squirrel? A few hundred $$ later I have had it with those pests.

Re: [MBZ] ahh the 1000SEL
Hi all, Here is a reply from John Olson, SL Market Letter editor to my query concerning a purported 1000SEL on eBay. Take care, Chuck ~~ Daimler-Benz never built or sold a car called a 1000 SEL. In my opinion this offering should be pulled from E-bay, by E-bay, for gross errors in presentation. There was a car called a 1000 SEL marketed in Germany by a aftermarket modifier, I believe it was called Styling Garage. Their 1000 SEL was extrapolated from a long wheel base S-Class sedan -- I have an elaborate mid-1980s sales brochure from the Styling Garage in my archives featuring a 1000 SEL with widened body, conspicuous spoilers and side skirts, and elaborate interior, TV in the front and back seats, leather dash and headliner, and totally unique upholstery pattern. The Styling Garage prospered for a bout five years selling cars to Middle-Eastern oil sheiks after the first oil shortage/crisis. It was possible to get faster motors but the Styling Garage and other similar companies were infamous for extreme interiors and controversial fiberglass body appendages. Some of them wore this exact sale 1000 SEL nomenclature on their trunks. The only part of this E-bay offerings that I can see that appears to be a genuine aftermarket part is the 1000 SEL trunk label. The car may be an early 1986 model (first titled in 1985) with 1986 side-moldings and allow wheels. Everything else about it looks like a normal, 1985 gray-market short wheelbase 500SE. The seller claims the the car has a 5.6 liter V8 but offers a 126-036 chassis number indicating a short wheel base (SE) 5.0 liter V8. A 560 SEL would have a 126-039 VIN. The 560 SE would be 126-038. You are welcome to forward this e-mail to anyone in the club asking about this E-bay car. // John // John R. Olson, Editor, THE SL MARKET LETTERS .

Re: [MBZ] '86 SDL no a/c
Only way I know to tell if the pressure switch is working is to measure its continuity while measuring the pressure. It's standard procedure to check it after adding refrigerant. All the ones I've seen are closed (zero ohms) with pressure in the system. If one of the wires falls of its better to shut off the system rather than risk running the compressor without oil flowing through the pipes. It's not something you want to bypass long term. Getting metal fragments out of the system from a blown compressor is a real PITA - not to mention the pain of buying a new compressor. The switch should close at ~ 30 psi, and then open again at ~ 400PSI. The high pressure open protects against a system freeze up - I've never tested it. It depends on temperature, but you should see something like 200-250psi on the high side and 40-50psi on the low side once the system has been operating for a few minutes - assuming you use R134a. Here is a chart if you want to be more precise: http://www.ackits.com/aacf/ptchart.cfm As you are adding vapor to the low side, you will see a sweet spot where the low pressure climbs and the high pressure remains the same. That usually means I'm close to optimal. -Dave Walton On Wed, Jun 18, 2008 at 10:55 AM, Luther [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Low pressure switch was already bypassed by the po.

Absorbent desiccants cannot be reused. Adsorbent ones can. Most use XH-5, XH-7 or XH-9, all of which can be at least partially restored by pulling a vacuum on the system.

I used to fish off the keys with my FIL. Best fisherman I ever saw, and was the man came up with the idea for the fighting chair and some other stuff. He was the exclusive furniture supplier for Chris-Craft for many years. He had the fish cleaning job down to a science, and any attempt to help was just a bother. Fun to watch him, though.

Re: [MBZ] Was gas cost $10/g- Now Air guns
I have had a bit of luck with the electronic varmint annoyers, and a bit of luck with mothballs. Other than that the only success I ever had was with a .22 when I was young. Don't recommend that as it seems you are not out in the wide open spaces. Others have reported luck with a cat, or even putting cat fur around where they hang out. Seems they do not like the smell.

Hmmm,. you might be better classified as a geezer in that situation?

Re: [MBZ] Air guns
Dad and I were at the range one time and a couple old fellers were there with their .45s. One of the guys had Parkinsons so bad he had to put the pistol and the magazine on the table and slowly slide them together... We all backed away when he brought that pistol up to shoot but it was amazing, as he brought the gun up all sign of the tremor ceased and he was just as steady as a rock. He then proceeded to shoot different handloads through a chronograph. This was a window chrono so he had to keep all his shots to about a 4 window or he'd have blown his chrono apart. When he first went for a mag change I offered to help which he greatly appreciated. I spent most of a day with him, changing mags and refilling them. He shot about 300 rounds all of which would have taken up no more space than the bottom of a soda can... -Curt Date: Wed, 18 Jun 2008 15:20:20 -0400 From: Wilton Strickland [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [MBZ] Air guns To: mercedes mercedes@okiebenz.com Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Content-Type: text/plain; charset=Windows-1252 I have a Crossman pump pellet gun I use occasionally on pigeons way up on top of my Georgian Revival slate roof (nearly 3 floors up) - usually hit 'em fairly easily so far.

CB caps are even quieter as they're subsonic. Shorts are not always subsonic. Dad buys Super Calibri brand (made in Spain) CB caps which I dispatched many a squirrel with.

Re: [MBZ] '86 SDL no a/c
Luther - Like Kaleb said, I would be certain that you have a source of medical insurance and retirement. You are into fairly high risk activity, so even a disability policy would be a good idea. Get back to me if you think you are going to need it. I fought with my disability company for three years prior to a settlement. There are some things you will need to know. SSD is pretty poor also. Had I not had a private pension [very safe - all funds already in the bank for my full lifetime pension] I would be in bad shape now. I didn't worry too much about healthcare when I was younger, now we would be spending about $1,200 - $2,000/month for MD's, cardiac procedures and Rx if I didn't have very good insurance. We will have out of pocket of about $1,500 this year instead. If you can make huge $$$ doing home repair and can put enough away for retirement and will not ever get sick or injured, then insurance won't matter too much. Seems to me you said you were single. You could always do what I did and marry someone who has great family insurance through her work. BillR -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kaleb C.

Re: [MBZ] '86 SDL no a/c
The pusbutton unit provides the ground for the signal -- it must have 12V on it with the ignition on. If not, you have a wiring problem, usually a broken wire at the socket. That's why I suggested testing voltage to ground at the pressure cut- out switch. To jump a few posts, check the wires on the temperature sensor (may be in the upper radiator hose fitting OR lower down mid-block, it was moved at some point). The wires break, and the PBCU will think the coolant is about -50F with infinite resistance! One wire was busted on mine. Also check the resistance of the temperature sensors for the cabin, evaporator, and heat exchanger. An open sensor at any one of them will likely keep the compressor off, as no cooling is required OR the evaporator is too cold.
