Re: [MBZ] 722.4 / 1991 300D 2.5 Transmission Question
1/2 way through the can the sound changed so much that I thought something was wrong. It was dramatic. But my diesel was clogged. I don't think I run it hot enough.

I'll keep people posted. I did the diesel purge last week on the 2.5, and WOW, it sounds like a swiss watch. During the purge process the nailing went away about 1/2 way through the bottle of purge. It was amazing- like now you hear it now you don't. I'm getting better gas mileage too. I keep thinking I just need to beat it up a bit more when driving- pedal to the floor etc. But the $10 can of magic liquid has it sounding like a gas engine- and has more power etc. too. I was over Lister Dwight Giles' house today and we checked the transmission fluid in my 300D and it was a bit low so we added a couple of ounces. This might have been part of the slow 1-2 shift.

Re: [MBZ] hijacked to certainty
the generally invoked standard for super accuracy in a quartz watch is 10 seconds per year, so you did very well here. better quartz watches will do that right out of the box. the great irony is that those interested in quality timepieces have pretty much rejected quartz. this is curious given the obvious assumption that the main practical function of a watch is to keep time. i never wear a quartz watch today and haven't ever worn one on a regular basis. while i own some fancy swiss watches, my main watch is a relatively inexpensive chinese seiko automatic with malaysian movement. so, you see, i don't make any sense to anyone on the watch front.

I didn't go into court personally, but my nav logs did. We were flying fishery patrols and occasionally found someone catching the wrong species of fish or in the wrong fishing area. I had to certify that my fixes were taken at the time noted (zulu) in the paperwork.

[MBZ] Slightly Wandering Posterior
I'm having the control arms changed out in the front of my 124, BUT what can I do about the slightly wandering rear end? I get a slight side to side wandering above 40mph Is this the rear end or could it be related to my spoiled control arms? If it is the rear, which bushing do I need to change out. I might do them at the same time. Thanks friends! John Peterson 1991 300D 2.5 81k Kingston RI

I get a slight side to side wandering above 40mph The multi-link rear suspension of the 201/124 (and probably everything later) is prone to this. You need to replace the links and bushings back there. Not that expensive, IIRC. -- Jim

Re: [MBZ] MBZ] hijacked to certainty
the reason is that the shock resistance is greater than any automatic watch movement ever made and the service requirements are lesser than any ever made (they will generally run a minimum of 10 years before needing attention and some have been known to run much longer. try that with a fine swiss watch) it is examplary, yet cheap. it is a unique proprietary design in an age where such designs start at 4 figures. its status is as an anti status symbol. i would argue that it is a better watch than a rolex at 5% of the cost.

Probably most of us old diesel drivers are more interested in the portable clock function. And a wrist clock can be bought relatively cheaply and provide almost any accuracy you desire. But a piece of jewelry is a whole 'nuther realm, where the price is never cheap and the clock accuracy is of little importance.

Re: [MBZ] hijacked to certainty
If I recall correctly the last time I had a watch person check it out, about $4k. That is 66. times what I paid for it. Turns out it is one of the 'collectable' sort.
