Re: [MBZ] 190D status
I pulled the battery tray out of the derusting bucket and wire-brushed it off. I had to use the Dremel for the crevices. All the rust came off great, the chunks were gone and there was a nice coat of black oxide in many places. I washed it (using washing soda) in the sink and then blew it dry. I put it in the shop oven to finish drying, and to warm up. I put the primer can in there too, and after a few minutes I then primed the battery tray. That dried quickly, so I then put on a coat of black. That took quite a bit longer to dry in the oven, but after an hour or two I put on the second coat. I also wire-brushed the tops of the studs in the car and greased them. ...In the evening I pulled the tray out of the oven. It was still a bit tacky, but I was tired of waiting. I installed the tray, with a bit of grease on the bearing surfaces of the nuts. I then painted the two nut/stud sets that hold the tray down. (The third set is for the battery clamp.) I put back the plastic electronics cover, reclaimed the old battery from the generator, and put it back in the car. (I'm not going to wear out the new battery on the initial crank-fest.) I pulled the control plug off of the glow plug relay and stuck a bare 10ga solid wire loop between pins 1 and 2, the ignition and start terminals in the plug. (Violet [start] and Black/Red [ignition], I'm not sure which is which.) I got out my old manual cranking switch (automotive tool bought at Sears quite some time ago) and clipped it to the loop and to the fuse stud in the GP relay. I then pulled the vacuum shutoff line off of the IP, and put the battery charger on. I made sure the car was in neutral. Crank! I hit the switch and let it crank a lot. A _lot_! I was starting to despair when I noticed that #5 injector was wet. I let the car rest (and the battery charge) for awhile, and hit it again. After a bunch more cranking #4 got wet. The battery is definitely exhibiting signs that it doesn't appreciate this treatment. At this rate I'm may end up killing it entirely, which is no great loss except then I have to buy another battery for the generator. (And at that point I really should buy two, as it's a 24 V system.) I let it rest (and charge) for 20 minutes while I brought this record up to date. Another cranking session didn't last long before the battery started to flag. However, just at the end #3 started to get wet, so it does look like I'm on the right track. 20 minutes is not enough recovery time, I'm going to have to wait more like an hour before the next session. ...I gave it about 3 hours and went out for another cranking session just before bed. I didn't take the battery down as far as before and I got #2 wet, and #1 was just starting to show fuel. Tomorrow I shall try starting it. -- Jim ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

Re: [MBZ] OT Apple iTouch question?
Just buy an unlocked one (CA$749) from Bongo Wireless www.bongowireless.com (or go to Pacific Mall in Markham) and use it with your Fido or Rogers account. There are two important things to BEWARE of with this approach: 1. Unless you have an unlimited data package, you could be asking for TROUBLE 2. An unlocked iPhone is very sensitive to "updates" from Apple that render it inoperable. You have to make sure that no update is applied without checking whether it has been rendered safe through "adjustments" by the developer community. D.

Re: [MBZ] eBay seller threatens to sue me.
Usually there is a disclaimer that states to confirm listed features with the seller, mistakes are made and how many times do you see a bog stock MB with body kit advertised as an AMG product? I wrote to a seller once to let him know that the 86 260E he was selling was not an AMG and got a flippant "whatever" reply but the next time around he listed it, he did change the wording to indicate that it was an AMG lookalike. End of the day it is up to the buyer to inform him/herself about what they are buying. What exactly are you hoping to gain out of this? All you are doing is causing yourself grief over something that is not your problem. Perhaps you should buy yourself a couple of project cars to keep you away from ebay and all the sharks that infest that place. If the seller got abusive with you then perhaps you should inform ebay but if it was just a mind your own business type of reply then I would follow that advice.

Re: [MBZ] eBay seller threatens to sue me.
ignore the big type and pretty pictures; always start with the fine print. (the fact that there's so much of it in this ad is in itself a warning flag,...) the same thing is said a couple of different ways, but for example, this is pretty telling; "The seller shall not be responsible for the correct description, authenticity, genuineness, or defects herein, and makes no warranty in connection therewith." IOW, "i can't be held to anything i say." (that may be the only thing the seller says that you *can* believe!) (as always with eBay or any other used-car venue) Caveat Emptor, indeed! this guy seems to be a crook (and right or wrong, knows it), but if anyone falls or this, it's their own dang fault. cheers! e dave walton wrote: > In my continued pursuit of the perfect vehicle for my wife, I came > across this listing that incorrectly says that car has Stability > Control: > http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280204883837 > > I kicked him off a nice email pointing out the mistake, and all hell > broke loose.

Re: [MBZ] OT Apple iTouch question?
E-mail is already on it, but instant messaging is not, and there has been a real outpouring of negative feedback to Cupertino over this omission. Again, with the SDK coming out in a week, I am sure this will no longer be an issue, since it's one of the major items on the customer wish-list. For that matter, there is a good possibility that one of the developers that is on the SDK team may already have an IM application to launch. Keep an eye on Apple's web site for more details. The differences in storage are due to one being hard drive based (the 160G "classic" iPod) and the other being flash based (iPod Touch.) Right now, SSD or flash memory is still quite expensive, for example an SSD 60G drive running around $1000 retail compared with a similar sized hard drive being below $50. Until the higher capacity flash memory prices come down, it's unlikely you'll see anything much larger than 32G. Recent price drops in the flash memory market are what drove the release of higher capacity iPhones and iPod Touchs' at the same prices as the lower capacity models. This is going to continue to happen as prices fall. Right now you can buy a 32G iPod Touch - unless you're using a lot of video, you would have to have a pretty big library to fill a 32G device. My library has around 5,500 songs, and it's below 20G, I think. Dan --- E M <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Dan, > > Thanks for your help.

Hi Dan, Thanks for your help. I'm not a real computer whiz, but I have watched a few vids on youtube showing how to jailbreak an iPhone, to get it to work more like an iTouch, and other things. I really want it for IMing and mail, so until it can do that, I'll hold off. Nothing knowing what makes up the guts of an iTouch, I do wish they had more storage. Not sure why the classic can have a 160 GB, and the iTouch only 32 GB? Thanks again for your help Dan.

Dave, in all honesty, you would be interfering with a sale as an outsider and Ebay would bounce you off the program. Contacting bidders is a Big No No as far as Ebay is concerned. Your intentions are admirable but interference with a sale on Ebay is similar to me busting into a sales office and telling the buyer that the seller is a crook...I would be trespassing and he would call the cops!

[MBZ] eBay seller threatens to sue me.
In my continued pursuit of the perfect vehicle for my wife, I came across this listing that incorrectly says that car has Stability Control: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280204883837 I kicked him off a nice email pointing out the mistake, and all hell broke loose. I ended up saying that I would be sending our emails to eBay and the high bidder to which he replied that they were "Confidential Communications" and if I sent them to anyone he would sue me and take whatever other actions may be necessary - whatever that means. Don't I have some protection as a whistle blower or something? If I know he intends to commit a crime (misrepresenting the vehicle) am I not required to take action?

Re: [MBZ] MB - re: UK Gas Prices
Speaking of car prices, I came very close to buying a 2001 C220 CDI wagon last year. I like the burgundy exterior with the black interior, nice 5 speed, reasonably comfortable and quietand only $4,000! Mileage wasnt very high either but the car had some rust issues! I couldn't believe it! Every wheel arch had some, the driver's side (right) rear door had it, and around the tailgate too! I passed on it. I found that some MB's over there to be downright cheap! A neighbour had a CL320 for sale in the bright red colour for $8500!

Re: [MBZ] MB - re: UK Gas Prices
And the fuel tax collections that fund all sorts of other things will collapse. Just have to raise other taxes to support them, I'm sure that'll be good for the economy. I have friends who live near London and go to Scotland to visit family, they complain about the 4 or 6 hour drive or whatever it is. That gets you about 1/3 of the way across Texas, or up to Dallas from Houston. I just laugh at them.

Re: [MBZ] OT Apple iTouch question?
Ed, I have an 8G iPod Touch, and while the new application pack that Apple added in January does allow for much more flexibility than it had prior to the update, it still does not have IM or chat capabilities. That being said, you do have access to e-mail accounts (POP, IMAP, etc.) and the Web. It even allows streaming video from some applications, like Elgato's EyeTV (which I have set up in my house.) With the SDK for the iPhone/iPod Touch about to be released, you can expect to see a lot more apps available for both, and I am sure a chat client will be one of them, as it has been a big point of contention for users up to now. If you were willing to jailbreak your iPod Touch, there are already chat apps out there, but again, they require a jailbroken iPod Touch. Not as big of a risk as jailbreaking the iPhone, as you can't "brick" an iPod Touch. MacDan --- E M <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Everyone, > > Wondering if someone can help me with this.

Hi Howard, I'm curious, could you tell me a little about the current market for 560s in the UK? I'm sure they can be found with less miles than examples here, but what are the average bodies like? Do ppl more likely to take them to dealers or shops for work, or are many maintained by the owners themselves?

[MBZ] OT Apple iTouch question?
Hi Everyone, Wondering if someone can help me with this. We don't have iPhones in Canada yet, as they haven't signed on with a carrier or something. I was looking at the iTouch on their site, and it does allow you to check mail and do some surfing via wifi. My question is, I stop off daily for coffee, and most places have wifi here. Using an iPod Touch and wifi, would I be able to use MSN and carry on a live text chat?? I refuse to get locked into any 3 year contracts, and we all have areas where we skimp, mine is with cell phones and pda's. I'll pay to buy the latest toy, but I'll be damned if I'll pay 10 cents to send a few text words across the ocean when land line rates are now 2 cents per minutes to use voice!!

Very often the alternator failure is just worn brushes. Just replace the regulator/brush assy and see if that helps. Before you do that look for badly worn slip rings.

Re: [MBZ] Damage limits (was Re: Inertia reel seatbelts)
A friend of mine used to run a grain elevator. The law is (was?) such that if an elevator buys grain, and some other entity had a legal claim on the value of the grain (loan), the elevator, not the grower, is responsible for satisfying that claim. So lets say Joe takes out a producer loan, and grows a crop. Joe does not have a combine, so John combines the crops and in exchange gets 1000 bu. of grain. John sells his 1000 Bu at the elevator, and there is no claim that shows up in the search, so John is paid. Joe doesn't pay all if his loan, so the lender starts asking questions, and finds out that John was paid in grain. The lender then asks the elevator to pay the balance due, up to the value of the 1000 Bu John sold. Joe has no liability if the elevator pays the lender. The elevator has done nothing wrong but has to pay twice the market value of the grain. Twisted system, aye? My friend's comment was that there should be an open season on lawyers. Kinda a long way around to say the USA has way too many lawyers, and way too many ambulance chasers, like John Edwards.

Re: [MBZ] MB - UK Gas Prices
howie, um, no offense, but it's a different deal here. if you want to go shopping in the "big city", you drive like 6 miles to bristol. a lot of the colonists here have to drive 100 miles to get to the mall. you guys have all kinds of mass transit and we have, outside of big cities, virtually none. we drive real cars and you drive little 3 wheel toy cars. but you don't even drive as you walk anytime it is less than 20 miles. so i would say that using 100 gallons a month at 3 dollars a gallon is worse than using 3 gallons a month at 8 dollars a gallon, no?

The CCD is just sitting there at the right focal length just like the film would be. Just like a film camera, keeping a lens on the body at all times greatly reduces the chance of this happening.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Our Political System
Considering the fact that a form of slavery continued well into the 20th century under the label "share cropping", I suspect that slavery would have continued.
