Possible he is listening to the tow shop that quoted him a huge repair bill to "fix the damages" and he is not mechanical enough himself to understand the "Upsell" that just happened.. I'm betting the quote came to over $2,000 for "transmission repairs and damage done by the belt".. The non mechanical customer only heard bad noises and sees transmission fluid scattered everywhere.

Yeah more or less the same thing. I believe there were just minor timing and carburetion differences. That engine was also used in the bus. That might be an interesting car to get. I have a 6 cyl 911 engine with 5 speed transmission in an 82 bus that would fit into there right easy and probably make it go just a bit better.

I don't know and I'm too tired/sore (cut up a scrap snowmobile trailer today) to go find my "For the Complet idiot" book. I think that sounds vaugely right.

Re: [MBZ] goform tires
My last tire problem was in 1971; none since buying my first Michelin then; 10+ cars/vans and well over a million miles since. Uh-oh! 'Hope I didn't just jinx it.

Re: [MBZ] 240D Cabriolet Motors, Raleigh
You know what I just remembered, I never did get around to putting in an auto antenna lock out. Back when I had a car with a working auto antenna I found that if it was very cold out or we'd had sleet or freezing rain the dang thing would get frozen down. No amount of siliconcarne spray would help it. I figured the best solution would be to put a toggle switch at the antenna that would leave it up for the winter... -Curt From: Curly McLain via MercedesTo: Mercedes Discussion List Cc: Curly McLain <126die...@gmail.com> Sent: Friday, December 18, 2015 6:13 PM Subject: Re: [MBZ] 240D Cabriolet Motors, Raleigh No ACC That is a WAY POSITIVE Crank Windows That is a positive for many folks Broken Auto antenna So what?

[MBZ] HID Bulb replacement
Bought a pair of 4300k D2R bulbs off eBay for my 1997 S420. I believe it was Mr Cathey who said that the stock bulbs were 4300K. http://www.ebay.com/itm/351550303300 Last summer, I could plainly see that there was a wire bail holding the bulbs in, but could not figure out how to unclip it. Finally today I put on my reading glasses and could see that the right side of the bail had to move in and down to unclip. Pulled the dead OSRAM out, put in the new Chinese POS, and to my eye the old Phillips on one side looks identical to the new Chinese. $8 a pair is a lot cheaper than $40 each. One interesting thing that happened was I could see smoke rolling around in the headlight when I first turned it on, and it smelled like toasted electronics. The 2nd time I turned it on, no smoke. Seems like there should be no oil or other smoke producing residue on a brand new bulb. The halogen high beams sure look yellow next to the HID low beams.

Re: [MBZ] HID Bulb replacement
Seems like there should be no oil or other smoke producing residue on a brand new bulb. Exactly. Because you _ensured_ that by cleaning the bulb first with a paper towel and alcohol! At least, that's what I did. How well trained in white-glove production do you think the $6 Chinese factory bulb worker was? -- Jim ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

Re: [MBZ] 240D Cabriolet Motors, Raleigh
You know what I just remembered, I never did get around to putting in an auto antenna lock out. Back when I had a car with a working auto antenna I found that if it was very cold out or we'd had sleet or freezing rain the dang thing would get frozen down. No amount of siliconcarne spray would help it. I figured the best solution would be to put a toggle switch at the antenna that would leave it up for the winter... -Curt Easy. Put it up and pull the plug in the trunk. It stays up. In the spring, IF you feel llke it, you can plug it in again...or not.

[MBZ] Merry Holiday, just divested myself of used MB parts
SWMBA arrived the other day from the Great White North of America. I had taken over much of the abode with a myriad of MB bits and bobs. An unhappiness ensued which led to the dismissal of most of my car parts. I just got done loading a gentleman's F150 long bed with the bulk of parts for cars of the W110-W140 era. I made out like a bandit! About $4k worth of parts all for $500. This should make the next ten days bearable for me.

Re: [MBZ] The sky is falling!
Gotta throw the b.s. flag on that, relative is an engineer "in the business" and explained how the oil is sent in measured slugs, water between slugs, and the size of each slug is known and transmitted to the receiving end. When somebody's slug is short, they immediately know they have a problem, usually even before receiving the slug they would see a pressure drop. The valve timing at the receiving end has to be very precise to separate the slugs. "This is Joey's oil, goes into that tank. Next is Bob's oil, goes into this tank" 24 / 7 operation, somebody (usually many somebody's) are there ALL the time, making sure the oil goes to the right place. -- Max Dillon Charleston SC '87 300TD '95 E300 On December 18, 2015 11:53:39 PM EST, Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedeswrote: There have been quite a few pipeline ruptures lately. Problem is, once >they break no one is awake or on call to shut off the flow. +1 that is true. In my limited experience with a propane pipeline, the operators immediately saw the drop in pressure, but instead of calling out crews to shut off the valves, they decided at 2 am it was easier to blame the pressure drop on instrumentation than to call out 2 guys to shut off 2 valves. The result was 3-4 dead. Neighbors had to find the valves, cut the chains and shut off the valves The resultant explosion was heard 80 to 100 miles away. Any surviving wildlife cleared out for a mile or two around, and it was 20 years before much but sparrows came around again. Propane pipelines are ticking timebombs, but still MUCH safer than warrens railroads. ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
