Magazines are what guns use to hold bullets..

Re: [MBZ] W210 Ignition

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

One of the reasons I bailed from my W220. If any part of the DAS fails, you're 
pretty much screwed, as the fix requires replacing everything in the system 
unless you have access to a Xentry system, and in some cases not even that.  
Pretty much a $tealership only repair.

Gawd I love my W126 more every day. This kind of stuff reinforces my choice to 
revert back to simple stuff.

~~~
The nightclub gaurd, an off-duty police officer, did engage the killer in gun 
fire before the police arrived.
The police engaged the killer in gunfire after they arrived and one officer got 
shot in the head, but his Kevlar helmet save him.
Then the killer holed up in a bathroom with five hostages and began talking to 
police on his cellphone. 
After long conversations, he made comments that sounded like he was going to 
kill the hostages, so the police used some sort of vehicle and punched holes 
through the outside walls into the restrooms.
At some point they ignited a noise bomb to cause confusion and the hostages 
escaped through the punched hole. Up to 30 escaped from another bathroom 
through another hole that had been punched in the wall.
Then the killer came out through the hole and exchanged gunfire with the police 
and was killed.
This was the NYT version of the events from last night. It may be changed after 
hostages have been interviewed and/or some sell their story to the media. If 
this version is true, then the police did ignore their own safety and go after 
the killer, and probably prevented more hostage deaths.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Sadly, you can't read the number on it no

stamped in the block somewhere?  Weren't they on a pad right next to the

Re: [MBZ] 1990 300D - SOLD!

[Donald Snook via Mercedes]

Even if it is not a crate motor, it could have been repaired at the dealer 
under warranty.  Low five figures?  Did they ever replace the rods with the 
better updated rods?  Or were the newer rods available in 93?

Donald,

I have a 1990 350SDL to be exact.  It was purchased not all that far from you 
in northern Arkansas.  It currently has 261,000 miles on the clock and runs 
wonderfully.  I have been unable to substantiate any major service to the car 
or engine other than something that shows up in the VMI with Mercedes around 
1993 that cost into the low five figures.  I can’t imagine anything that 
expensive other than an engine replacement, but I can’t tell from the service 
codes in the VMI, and they’re too old for Mercedes to identify.

On that note, would anyone know if the OM603 has a serial number nameplate on 
the top of the flywheel housing?  I ask because mine does, but I can’t read it 
to tell if it’s the original engine serial number or not.

Dan

Re: [MBZ] 1990 300D - SOLD!

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

Don't know. The repair codes listed on VMIs can be unique, and my dealer parts 
guy said it would take some time and effort to research it. Rather than impose 
on him with something that is not revenue generating, I left it at that.

I can only surmise that something was done to the car in the past, as in the 
ownership of the PO and myself it hasn't developed any of the symptoms of the 
failed rods/engines, lending credence to the assumption something was done in 
the past to alleviate the issue. We know the original owner was pretty 
aggressive about maintaining car, even though there are no records. The shop 
where they took it in Austin, TX recalled both them and the car and their 
efforts to take good care of it.

Re: [MBZ] W210 Ignition

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

This is what I like about driving the people's car. When the security stuff 
like that fails the aftermarket figures out a way to defeat it. If you buy a 
tune for your car the immobilizer defeat is usually thrown in for free. Since 
the TDI engines get transplanted into a lot of things defeating the electronic 
nannys is kind of important.

Drive authorization system.  Computers have to be replaced and recoded 
by the dealer.
Great idea!  Lets replace a $2 key with a $2000 computer that the 
stealer will charge $2000 or $3000 to install and program.


So the real question is: is it possible to replace the "Das ripoff" with 
a key switch?Or, is it set up so it has to give some thing other 
than a powered wire to the ign computer so you can't get the car to run 
without it?  (Square wave, variable pulse etc.)

Nope. The DAS system incorporates the operation of a bunch of 
different modules in the car, including the engine, transmission and 
security, if I recall. There are three or four involved with this, so 
if one craps out ou have to buy a new one and have the $tealer install

Re: [MBZ] 1990 300D - SOLD!

[Donald Snook via Mercedes]

From what I remember, the conventional wisdom (most of which came from the good 
Dr. Booth (RIP)) was that they will ALL bend the rods if the engine and/or the 
rods were not replaced.  If it was just the rods, they would presumably be the 
newer updated rods and they must have been replaced before the engine was 
damaged beyond repair.  As you said, the fact that it is doing well at 261,000 
miles must mean something was done.  There was one of these on ebay a while 
back.  The seller had a LONG list of things he had done to the car to make it 
perfect.  He had spent a fortune on it.  He also wanted A LOT for the car.  I 
never saw whether it sold.

do these fobik systems have a real ignition switch behind them like a

maybe turn the switch with a screwdriver like on a 124. (after you take

Re: [MBZ] W210 Ignition

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

I don't believe there are any "cheats" to get around this system. It's pretty 
much baked in to a number of different things.

Jaime might have some insight into this, as his stuff has to play nice with it, 
I believe.

Again, roll out the W123/W126 and earlier. Maybe the W124s, too. Nothing you 
can't get around in these

Nope. The DAS system incorporates the operation of a bunch of different modules 
in the car, including the engine, transmission and security, if I recall. There 
are three or four involved with this, so if one craps out ou have to buy a new 
one and have the $tealer install and code it, or go to the knackers and get all 
of the modules out of one car so they're matched.

I believe so, yes.  I just know that this was the available approaches for the 
W220 with similar issues.

If he digs around in the BenzWorld forum for this model he should be able to 
identify his options.

Re: [MBZ] W210 Ignition

[Curley McLain via Mercedes]

Now you're singin' my song!

I had to take in the dogde van in for a recall to replace the fobik.  I 
figgered that was a cheep way to get a couple new fobik "keys"  The new 
fobik screwed up several other things.  So while I got "keys" with 0 on 
the counters, there were tradeoffs that were negative.


I will probably keep a newish fobik van, but I am keeping everything 
else in the 123,124, 126 classes.  If it gets to where I can't get 
enough parts to keep em running for reasonable prices, then the next 
best thing is to move to a small town or neighborhood where you can walk 
to get what you need, or drive an antique tractor to the store.  I am 
looking for a magneto for the tractor for further independence.


They are now braggin that the new stuff will record your location, speed 
and actions for all time.  SO the popos will be doing data mining to 
turn up ways to give you more "revenue enhancement" options AFTER the 
fact.  As soon as they tie the clock to stoplight functions, they will 
no longer "need" red light cameras to send you after the fact tickets.  
They will simply let the computers match your location to the red lights 
and ship off to you an opportunity to enhance their revenue.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Next question

[Joel Cairo via Mercedes]

Now it is being reported that the whackjob was gay, had been drunk at 
the bar several times over the last 3 years.  I had wondered this when I 
heard it, a very conflicted gay muslim taking out his issues in this 
way.  Father (Taliban supporter) called him gay, his former wife, whom 
he beat, said he was gay but that the American authorities told her not 
to say that.


And NPR reporting he used "an automatic-style rifle" and making it all 
out to be about the "automatic-style rifle."

The lack of information should have made them cautious. Somewhere inside there

~~~
The nightclub gaurd, an off-duty police officer, did engage the killer in gun 
fire before the police arrived.
The police engaged the killer in gunfire after they arrived and one officer got 
shot in the head, but his Kevlar helmet save him.
Then the killer holed up in a bathroom with five hostages and began talking to 
police on his cellphone.
After long conversations, he made comments that sounded like he was going to 
kill the hostages, so the police used some sort of vehicle and punched holes 
through the outside walls into the restrooms.
At some point they ignited a noise bomb to cause confusion and the hostages 
escaped through the punched hole. Up to 30 escaped from another bathroom 
through another hole that had been punched in the wall.
Then the killer came out through the hole and exchanged gunfire with the police 
and was killed.
This was the NYT version of the events from last night. It may be changed after 
hostages have been interviewed and/or some sell their story to the media. If 
this version is true, then the police did ignore their own safety and go after 
the killer, and probably prevented more hostage deaths.

Re: [MBZ] W210 Ignition

The dealer said they empirically,  85% of the time it's the key, 12% of the
time it's the coil in the ignition switch, and 3% of the time is a gross
DAS failure. New key is $308 from said dealer. I reckon that is where I
will start.

[MBZ] OT this might impress someone

[Joel Cairo via Mercedes]

I went and voted in the primary this afternoon, and I voted a Dem 
ballot!  Because I kinda like our current state rep, and the D guy 
running against him is a self-promoting slick-talking preacher.  A D 
will win no matter which R runs against him (and one of the R candidates 
is a drunk and acts like Foghorn Leghorn and always calls me by whatever 
name was last in his memory stack).


Good news is that I was in and out while Rush was still at the top of 
the hour commercial break! WOOWOO!

Re: [MBZ] James May new show

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

Yup.I bought a Vapalux lantern from a guy in Israel some years back. To save on 
shipping he took it down to its component parts so it fit in a very small box. 
The problem was I'd never even SEEN a Vapalux before and they're almost nothing 
like a Coleman...It took me a long time to get it back together and working 
correctly. At that point there wasn't anybody selling the correct mantles in 
the US so I had to modify a mantle from another lantern to work. Interestingly 
that mantle is still working good ~5 years later.

Re: [MBZ] W210 Ignition

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

And the process begins... The draining of the wallet.

So how do they troubleshoot the issue? Start with making you buy a new key?

What would it cost to have them toss it on a Xentry system to confirm where the 
problem is before throwing (your) money at it?

Re: [MBZ] OT: Next question

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

That sucks, Maine has had instant check for years. The worst part is at like a 
gun show, theres usually no internet or good cell service (although it is 
improving) and you'll have to go outside with the dealer to complete that step 
of the transaction.
Theres no reason we can't have nationwide instant check. It should work similar 
to credit reporting where you can check up on yourself and make sure the record 
is accurate.

This is "breaking" and unconfirmed.

MB Stealer in Gboro?  I'd go to the nearest one and make it a point to 
get a note in the service records so if there was any engine damage you 
would be covered.


My understanding is that overfilling causes the oil to foam up by 
getting beat by the crank and conrods and can affect proper lubrication, 
but I'm not sure how it would be on your engine, might depend on how 
much it was overfilled.

Boatloads of them, all Chinee knockoffs, readily available.

You can get complete systems with a laptop for $500-$600, and with just a USB 
hard drive and the cables and mux for around $300, I think.

You can't do squat on later model cars without one.

Re: [MBZ] W210 Ignition

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

I can't comment on your car specifically, as I'm not familiar with the 
capabilities of the Xentry system relative to your model, but I would expect 
that any stored faults will show up, and in doing so, will point at the source 
of the issue.

The Xentry system does a good job of getting into the weeds on the later 
models, and just running a full set of diagnostics can yield lots of good 
information.

Kaleb has more experience with the system on pre-2000 MY cars than I do, so 
maybe he'll pop in and offer his insight.

Or he will offer you $500 to take the car off your hands since it's now junk.

How many ex-wives are there?  Just heard on Flush that one of the ex-wives
was with him when he purchased the ammo for the attack.

Seems rather foolish to me to alert media about a pending arrest, name the
suspect, and give them some time to either (a) leave or (b) conduct their
own attack or (c) prepare the suicide bomb to take a few police out when
they come to get you.  Just sayin.

I wish people in general, and new people is specific, would not talk about
things they have no knowledge of (written by someone who just confused
clips with magazines). I had to cringe several times when watching Longmire

JULY 5, 2015
THE FEDS ARE GOING TO BURNING MAN, TOO — IN A $1 MILLION COMPOUND COMPLETE WITH 
AIR CONDITIONING AND ICE CREAM

Sex, drugs, and techno dubstep in the desert. The feds are coming to Burning 
Man too, but they’ll be relaxing in an air-conditioned compound with soft serve 
ice cream.

The Bureau of Land Management is refusing to grant a permit for the Burning Man 
music and culture festival unless organizers pay more than $1 million for a 
lavish compound, complete with portable showers, washers and dryers, air 
conditioning, refrigerators, and flush toilets.

The BLM’s district manager, Gene Seidlitz, told the San Francisco Chronicle his 
agents need the amenities to oversee the Burning Man festival.

“A lot of folks think we’re like participants in that we are out there to enjoy 
the event and party. But my staff and I have to be rested, well-nourished and 
accommodated to the bare minimum so we can ensure health, security and safety 
at the event.”

Re: [MBZ] '07 RE320 CDI

[Donald Snook via Mercedes]

I doubt it will make much difference unless it was routinely and consistently 
overfilled.   

By the way, I didn't know you had an R Class!  I moved my office a couple years 
ago and discovered an independent shop down the street.  I have gotten to know 
the guy and he knows what he is doing and done great work on every car I have 
brought him.   The other day when I stopped in he was a little frustrated.  I 
noticed he was working on an R Class diesel and he had almost the whole dash 
apart.  The car had a bad evaporator!   What a job.

[MBZ] OT: Jetta is done

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

Today I went and bought another bolt that was too short but in a flash of 
inspiration I realized the original bolt I'd bought would work if I just used 
it upside down... DUH! So the bolt runs up to the nut instead of the other way.
Pentosin should get an award for poor packaging. Theres no instructions and I 
spilled about an ounce of the stuff just opening the cap which is a pull and 
then twist, not just a twist. It also pours really slowly and it took most of a 
liter to refill the PS reservoir.
I'd pulled the horn on Sunday, its dead, I ordered another which should be here 
tomorrow, fixmyvw.com with a real, made to fit for the same price as a generic.
While I was at it I checked the oil (low), tires (3 high, one low, its warm 
today) and spent some quality time with Houdini lock lube and the trunk lock. I 
got some brown crud out on the key, I kept spraying the lock and wiping the key 
until the crud quit coming out. I should probably repeat in a week or two and 
see if it stays working.
Anyway, back on the road, actual price of repair is around $30 for the $23/l of 
Pentosin and a bolt/nut/lockwasher. I used stainless so hopefully it'll be easy 
to remove if needed.

The Xentry system does a good job of getting into the weeds on the later

information.

Kaleb has more experience with the system on pre-2000 MY cars than I do, so

Re: [MBZ] OT: Next question

[Curley McLain via Mercedes]

Good info.  I have never actually seen the insides of an M1.  After he 
kicked the bucket, I found out my very quiet neighbor was known far and 
wide for refinishing and repairing the M1 wood.   Only once did he ever 
talk much, and that was not long before he kicked off.  He was only in 
his 50s.  Had I found out, I might have been able to handle one.


When I was a kid, I remember the monkey ward sale papers have several 
typed of rif les  for sale  for around $20 and they also were selling mi 
car bines.  That all ended in 1963.  I've wished many times I had 
ordered a few.



Scott Ritchey via Mercedes 
June 14, 2016 at 10:21 PMvia Postbox 


The M-1 rifle had an unusual arrangement.  The en-bloc clip (which held 8
cartridges) was actually inserted into the top of the rifle.  An internal
magazine fed cartridges  into the chamber while the clip remained in the
rifle.  The clip ejected from the bottom of the rifle after the last round
was fired.  This hybrid design may have contributed to the confusion between
clips and magazines.  Many older rifles used a stripper clip that  attached
above an internal magazine such that the rifleman manually pushed the stack
of cartridges down the clip and into the magazine.  The awful, hated black
rifle (aka Armalite 15/16 pattern) normally uses a 20 or 30 round detachable
magazine.  Military cartridges come in 10-round stripper clips with an
adapter called a "spoon".  You can attach the loaded clip to the top of the
magazine (with the spoon) and load all 10 rounds with one authoritative
push.

As a point of information, in many states you cannot hunt deer with an AR-15
or other rifle using the military 5.56 (aka .223) cartridge because it is
not considered sufficiently powerful for large game.  The .223 cartridge
started like as a varmint load.

Not to argue, as I am sure you are technically correct, and I believe the
military does use that nomenclature.  Out here in the sticks, I always

heard

the M1 type as a "stripper clip" while the replaceable magazine was called

a

clip.  The origin of magazine was where (black) powder was stored.

The correct term is magazine. A clip only holds cartridges, normally 
outside the gun, until they are loaded in a magazine. A magazine may 
be integral to a gun (like the M-1) or removable (like the M-14 or 
M-16) and preloaded before being inserted into the gun.

What you really mean is clips that hold large amounts of ammunition. Any
gun except my single shot shotgun can kill lots of people quickly. So, no,
a ban on any one particular type of gun is not going to have any effect.
What you need is a ban on radical fundamentalists of nay stripe - they
should be fair game open season all year long.

Seems like they might want to re-think diesel trucks, buses, 
construction equipment etc.

Those engines tend to be bigger and dirtier than most cars.
I think a lot of the newer big diesel trucks are better than they used 
to be but there still seems to be a fair amount of black smoke coming 
out of trucks, buses, trains etc.

That's what makes the 85 the best year, the converter locked in at a lower rpm 
which makes the more peppy off the line.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Next question

[Scott Ritchey via Mercedes]

The M-1 rifle had an unusual arrangement.  The en-bloc clip (which held 8
cartridges) was actually inserted into the top of the rifle.  An internal
magazine fed cartridges  into the chamber while the clip remained in the
rifle.  The clip ejected from the bottom of the rifle after the last round
was fired.  This hybrid design may have contributed to the confusion between
clips and magazines.  Many older rifles used a stripper clip that  attached
above an internal magazine such that the rifleman manually pushed the stack
of cartridges down the clip and into the magazine.  The awful, hated black
rifle (aka Armalite 15/16 pattern) normally uses a 20 or 30 round detachable
magazine.  Military cartridges come in 10-round stripper clips with an
adapter called a "spoon".  You can attach the loaded clip to the top of the
magazine (with the spoon) and load all 10 rounds with one authoritative
push.  

As a point of information, in many states you cannot hunt deer with an AR-15
or other rifle using the military 5.56 (aka .223) cartridge because it is
not considered sufficiently powerful for large game.  The .223 cartridge
started like as a varmint load.

military does use that nomenclature.  Out here in the sticks, I always 
heard the M1 type as a "stripper clip" while the replaceable magazine 
was called a clip.


It's not.  The M1 Garand uses a clip to hold the 8 rounds together
which are inserted into the empty magazine en masse.  (You can also
use the clip to load only 2 rounds.)  The SKS uses a stripper clip,
which you 'strip' the rounds off of as you push them into the
magazine with your thumb.

[MBZ] Hood ornament repair Pix

[Max Dillon via Mercedes]

https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0Bxk8a928B3RxZW9hTGZqSkJiRGM

My project from this weekend.  SWMBO took the '95 E300 through an automatic car 
wash several months ago, and the hood ornament was broken internally, so it 
came free of the spring.

I use a dremel tool to grind out the hole big enough to accept a pin, glued 
that in place with JB Weld, got to get that angle just right.  Pin diameter is 
also key, just small enough to fit in the hole that as occupied by the spring.  
Wedged a piece of fuel hose on the underside, so the friction fit of the pin in 
the hose will keep the ornament in place.  It can be easily removed, if she 
remembers, before the next pass through the car wash...

What about if that is what he was ordered to do in order to execute his 
mission?There is some deal that lying to an infidel is not a lie.  
So maybe going to a bar and acting like a queer is ok if it part of the 
plan?   All I know is that you  can't trust anything they say.


It is safe to assume everything BO sez is a lie.  So far that assumption 
has been borne out.

Now it is being reported that the whackjob was gay, had been drunk at 
the bar several times over the last 3 years.  I had wondered this when 
I heard it, a very conflicted gay muslim taking out his issues in this 
way.  Father (Taliban supporter) called him gay, his former wife, whom 
he beat, said he was gay but that the American authorities told her 
not to say that.


And NPR reporting he used "an automatic-style rifle" and making it all 
out to be about the "automatic-style rifle."

~~~
The nightclub gaurd, an off-duty police officer, did engage the killer in gun 
fire before the police arrived.
The police engaged the killer in gunfire after they arrived and one officer got 
shot in the head, but his Kevlar helmet save him.
Then the killer holed up in a bathroom with five hostages and began talking to 
police on his cellphone.
After long conversations, he made comments that sounded like he was going to 
kill the hostages, so the police used some sort of vehicle and punched holes 
through the outside walls into the restrooms.
At some point they ignited a noise bomb to cause confusion and the hostages 
escaped through the punched hole. Up to 30 escaped from another bathroom 
through another hole that had been punched in the wall.
Then the killer came out through the hole and exchanged gunfire with the police 
and was killed.
This was the NYT version of the events from last night. It may be changed after 
hostages have been interviewed and/or some sell their story to the media. If 
this version is true, then the police did ignore their own safety and go after 
the killer, and probably prevented more hostage deaths.

Good point.. that is called "Al Taqqyia"  [tak` ie a] which means.. the lie
blessed by allah.. which is any lie you need to tell to further the cause
of islam..

So.. perhaps.. Certainly he did not act alone.. behind the shooter was an
entire support network that convinced him to "die for islam" , armed him,
kept him wound up tight.. etc etc..

Quote from a British Army Officer from 200 years ago in what is now
Pakistan [then "India"] : "If a muslim tells you the sun rises in the East,
put your back to the wall, face West, draw your knife, and wait for his
attack."

Pretty much sums it nicely..
