Re: [MBZ] W126 Instrument Panel pulling.
I haven't looked at my W126, but I assumed that it was similar to the W123. I could remove the lower dash panel, reach up from the bottom and push the cluster out with my fingers. I'm going to need to troubleshoot and repair the dash lights.

The U-Pull had in a 190E 2.3, so I dropped by, even though the weather was miserable, with heavy cold rain. It had both of the rear taillights in excellent condition, so they are now mine, at $6 each. I also got both exterior heated mirror glasses, for $7 each. I also got the Klima and Kickdown relays to go into the junkbox, or perhaps onto eBay. They had a 280SE (116) that I grabbed the spare tire holddown from. Maybe it'll fit, it looks vaguely like what I might need. They also had in a 300SE (126). It had one rear taillight lens in excellent condition, now mine for $6. (SDL spare.) I also got its auxiliary trunk latch tongue, which the SDL has been missing for some time, and the two rear reading lamps (with the expensive bulbs) for $1 each. I also got one exterior heated mirror, for $7. They also had a 280SE (116) and it had its complete toolkit, though very rusty and the roll was rotted. That was free. Both the 190E and the 300SE still had the EHA valve I was looking for for my 560 SL. Perhaps at least one of them is still good and will work?

[MBZ] 240D brake sensors
Spent some time staring at the brake sensor yesterday and couldn't figure out how the heck the thing worked. Today looking at the DIY on MercedesShop I realize its because the sensors are actually missing. The plastic junction block whatsis is there but the sensor wires are not. They $1.50 from Rusty so I figure I'll pick 'em up.

Re: [MBZ] 240D brake sensors
The sensor system is quite simple -- the sensor is a plastic coated wire. When the pads wear down enough, the plastic rubs off on the tip of the wire and the wire contacts the disk. On the other end of the wire is a lamp and 12V, so when the wire contacts the disk, the lamp comes on. Yes, it's normal for there to be no lamp with no sensors. Reminds me to check my mother's TE as I've not put brakes on the front yet after 7 years or so -- she only drives a couple thousand miles a year these days.

Re: [MBZ] 401K confiscation discussion
The Patriot Act violates the Constitution in many ways MORE than a 401k confiscation. Please do NOT get me on my soap box about this Daddy got his ass kicked and I want revenge war. I said it was stupid and simply about revenge to MANY college friends the moment it was announced by this failed administration. Why call it a confiscation? If you don't like that idea, then lets call it a new tax. They do not say anything about removing the current 14% (7% employee 7% employer) Social Security taxes. They only speak of creating a required 5% TAX in addition to the current SS tax. This additional TAX will be managed by the current failing government system, SS. This effectively increases the amount of money I unwillingly give to the government; first by loosing tax breaks, and second by the additional 5% TAX. I do not want the government managing my money. I personally accept ALL risk involved with investing my retirement in the stock market and do not expect the government to bail me out.

[MBZ] Blower control: How should it work?
We're talking about an '85 300D, California model. A few days ago, I noticed that the blower was working intermittently, and mostly not at all. So, I removed it, cleaned it, removed and resoldered its amp, and put it back together. Now it works well enough that I have heat and defrost and maybe it is working as it should be. I really never paid all that much attention to it before and the manual is not so detailed as the convoluted mind of Benz's engineers. Now, the trouble is, I don't know whether what I am observing is correct operation or an anomoly. On defrost and high, the blower starts immediately, which is what I would expect. On low, automatic, and with the heat on any setting other than defrost, there is a delay between my pushing the button and the fan coming on. This delay, which seems quite regular, really confused my diagnostics. Does anyone among you know the logic behind the blower motor controls?

Re: [MBZ] Blower control: How should it work?
Typically the blower will come on at the lowest speed only except on defrost of if you have the high speed button pushed. It will then adjust to the correct speed for the required conditioning, usually after 10 or 15 seconds. I think this is supposed to do two things -- prevent a blast of icy cold air in the winter and to clear the damp air in the heater box before it all ends up on the inside of the windows as condensation. I know that on the W124 there is just such a delay, but that's a different system. Also, it will only run on lowest speed until the heater core warms up, and on my current 300D that's a mile or so.

Re: [MBZ] Blower control: How should it work?
For settings other than defrost and high, a temp sensor determines how much air is needed to satisfy what you're asking for, then it turns the fan on very low or higher depending on how close the temp in the car is to what you're asking for. Usually, if there's a wide difference between temp in the car and what you're calling for, the fan will run faster; as the difference gets smaller, the fan slows down. I seldom change the settings in my 124 and 126; with the fan in AUTO, and the temp setting where I want it, the fan just comes on slow or fast as the system needs it. Wife, however, can't seem to understand, though she's been driving MB's for 29 years, wants the fan blowing the instant she releases the key after starting, so she fiddles with the AC controls trying to get the fan on immediately. I've been telling her, Leave it alone; it'll come on after it has determined how much is needed. If starting cold in winter, for example, fan will not start 'til some heat from engine coolant is available.

Re: [MBZ] U-Pullery
The Pick-n-Pull/U-Pick-It prices here (Kansas City) are about 300% higher. Where the hell do you live? Spokane, WA. I like to check out with one of the girls, the total bill generally seems to be less with them. The guys write down everything, whereas the girls pass over a lot of the fiddly small stuff, and tend to eyeball guess the size of lights (which are sold by the inch). Perhaps their eyeball calibration is all screwed up due to the dimensional lies they've been told for years? The 126 light was broken, but it's odd as only the black plastic forwards part was messed up. The PMMA lens part was completely intact, and that's the part one generally needs in a minor fender-bender. Jim, all an excellent buy. When do you go next? Next time I need something! I did leave a rock-pipped 116 fog light there, and the 116's Bilstein jack. Both items I'm vaguely wondering if I shouldn't get. (I've been collecting the fog lights for eventual upgrades to the 123's. Convert the existing fogs to driving lights and hang offical MB fogs under the bumper.) Even with bad glass they're OK, as you can glue over pips. So long as the reflector is still good. This is a place where you actually need fog lights, some years. It's very weird that they had not one, but _two_ cars there that both seem to have the exact EHA valve my SL needs. (I stole mine to put on my wife's car, since hers was leaking and we weren't driving mine.) I've been looking for one since June 9 of 2007. Also odd was that their online inventory only showed the 190E, neither the 300 SE nor 280 SE were on the list. I just recognized their profiles in the sea of cars as I walked out to the 190E. In the rain. The 116 toolkit was fairly rusty, I may use the electric rust-removal trick on it to see what happens. If so I'll try to take some good before/after pictures.

Busting loose the nuts that hold the hub to the rotor. The only 10mm driver I could find was 3/8 drive and strangely using a 1/2 to 3/8 adapter seems to rob me of torque.

Re: [MBZ] OT Small home generators
I got one for a friend at Meijer supermarket last spring. Regularly $150, paid $90. Two stroke, runs on premix, Rated 1000W instantaneous, 850 continuous. Harder to start than I expected. Weighs 40-45lb, if you just pull the starter rope you yank it right off the ground, so you have to hold it down like a chain saw. Reasonably quiet, but you're limited in what you can do with it. It could run a refrigerator, but I bet it can't start one. Anything larger than this you should definitely go for a 4 stroke.

my 2 cents here is to get new ones or have someone you know and trust do a quality rebuild. no one likes this advise as it costs like 400 bucks to get new ones. i would not mess with advance for this sort of part.

Gary Hurst wrote: Guillain-Barré Syndrome The people who came up with that theory seem less sure of themselves than you do. http://www.cnn.com/2003/HEALTH/10/31/roosevelt.polio.reut/index.html I've had it (very minor) as long as I can remember, but I'm starting to lean away from the polio theory and more towards something else, like CP. There's no way to tell for sure. When I was two, I got an early sample of the Sabin live culture polio vaccine. I got stomach flu and had some paralysis (mostly left leg) about a week later. I wasn't the only one who got sick after being immunized that day, but the neighbor's daughter (several years older than me) only had flu symptoms. OTOH, I'd already been vaccinated with the Salk stuff, so to get polio from the vaccine I'd have had to pick up no immunity from the Salk vaccine and then had the bad luck to get polio from the Sabin vaccine. I'm still very much against continued use of the Sabin vaccine, especially since even the CDC admits that the majority of the polio cases in the last 30 years are vaccine induced. There's not much natural poliomyelitis in the world today, and virtually none in the USA. I can't believe Thunderbird has 'poliomyelitis' in its spelling dictionary, but not 'Obama' or even 'Osama'.

[MBZ] I just returned from a car deal gone sour
So there is this car in OKC on craigslist. I email the guy a few times, then tell him I can come Saturday (today) to pick it up. He first wants to meet me before 8am. I tell him that is too early since I have a 2 hour drive. He then wants me to meet him at 6pm. I didnt really want to be loading a car in the dark but OK. So he wants me to meet him at the mcdonalds right off the turnpike. He shows up about 15 minutes late and I follow him over to a nearby RV park where the car is. So he give me the title, I give him the cash. He asks if I need his help loading the car and I say no, I dont. So he takes off. Ok, so I get the car loaded and about the time Im getting ready to leave this pickup truck full of rednecks comes flying up. They guy gets out yelling that I am stealing the car etc. I try to explain to him that I have the car on my trailer, keys to the car, and a clear title signed off by the owner. He says the guy(who I bought it off of) owes him 3k and he has a lien on the car. I tell him to produce said lien. He cant. Turns out he is the owner of the RV park. Anyway, so I call the cops and they finally show up. I explain the situation to the officer and show him the title etc. He starts to give me some crap saying I dont own the car because its not in my name. I tell him that is correct because I just bought the car and I have the title right here. I would not have had time to get a title. Anyway, the cop says hes going to have to call into his supervisor to see what to do. The rv park guy asks the cop something and the cop tells him I have a title so I am the owner unless he can come up with a lien or something. By this time the guy knows he cant do anything to he starts backing down and asks me if he could make a copy of the title so he can try and go after the guy. I told him I would help him out anyway I could and he even had a couple of MB's he needs parts for. So turned out OK. I would have been screwed if it was one of those deals where there was no title for the car. Never again will I meet somebody after dark like that, then let them leave before I do. -- Kaleb C.
