Re: [MBZ] 560
I wouldn't call he 560 rare - of curse it all depends on what specific 560 you're talking about. There was the top of the line 560SEL 4 dr sedan typically with all the bells and whistles. Also, we need to know the chassis type of the mod year as it could be a W126 or a W140. Both are incredible cruising machine. Not inexpensive to own maintain but when all is working preperly it is a true experience. Again, depending on the chassis and model, it may have some built in problems. Things like HVAC, dash, wiring, etc can be troublesome on some vehicles. Along with the SEL there's a SL and SLC - the roadster and coupe version of the 2 dr sports car. Also, it was produced over a ~20 year time period You asked about getting the engine/trans? Depends on what you want to use it in. With a SEL or SL you could stuff it right in, but it's a lot of engine.

Yeah you know the type, 16-18 years old, no job, no job training, no diploma, no understanding of why they might any of the above. Planning to get their own place (apparently by magic) but content for now to live at their parent's place and squirt out a kid every year. The kids behave like animals, come in my yard and pick my tomatoes. Upon removal from my yard I become an enemy of everyone except the parents (meaning the little brat's grandparents). I've actually made inroads with the children, they like watching me split wood and enjoy my ability to run mental circles around the older kids of the neigborhood. I had one 13-14 year old convinced I was the mayor of our little town one day. I'm reasonably sure I could have convinced him I was the almighty in the flesh given time and desire.

[MBZ] OT: The hits keep on coming
About a month ago I noticed a little pain in my shoulder from time to time. About a week after that I was out scraping ice off the walk and threw out my back... My back is feeling much better and today I had a followup with my chiropractor. I just happened to mention the shoulder to him and he ran me through a bunch of tests. He thinks I've got a rotator cuff strain which has caused bursitis(sp) which is basically just inflammation of the bursa (sp) sacs. He says its probably not a big deal since we've caught it early. Heck man if his is early I'd hate to hear how long people usually wait for this sort of thing. In the last month its gone from a small twinge now and again to a lingering burning ache with twinges that will levitate me out of bed in the night.

Re: [MBZ] OT: The hits keep on coming
Curt, you can relax: your spelling was perfect. I had major rotator suff surgery back in 3/2002, and have been pain free since, although I now have a permanent weakness in external rotation in that shoulder. The surgeon spent 3.5 hrs. sewing together the shreds of torn rotator cuff, and didn't use a titanium anchor pin. The rehab was lengthy but manageable; I was playing squash again in 5 months. On Mon, Mar 9, 2009 at 2:06 PM, Curt Raymond curtlud...@yahoo.com wrote: About a month ago I noticed a little pain in my shoulder from time to time. About a week after that I was out scraping ice off the walk and threw out my back... My back is feeling much better and today I had a followup with my chiropractor. I just happened to mention the shoulder to him and he ran me through a bunch of tests. He thinks I've got a rotator cuff strain which has caused bursitis(sp) which is basically just inflammation of the bursa (sp) sacs. He says its probably not a big deal since we've caught it early. Heck man if his is early I'd hate to hear how long people usually wait for this sort of thing. In the last month its gone from a small twinge now and again to a lingering burning ache with twinges that will levitate me out of bed in the night.

Re: [MBZ] 560
The short wheel base (560 SE) was produced in small numbers, I think. The usual one here in the US was the 560 SEL, long wheel base.

There was the top of the line 560SEL 4 dr sedan typically with all the bells and whistles. Also, we need to know the chassis type of the mod year as it could be a W126 or a W140. Both are incredible cruising machine. Not inexpensive to own maintain but when all is working preperly it is a true experience. Again, depending on the chassis and model, it may have some built in problems. Things like HVAC, dash, wiring, etc can be troublesome on some vehicles. Along with the SEL there's a SL and SLC - the roadster and coupe version of the 2 dr sports car. Also, it was produced over a ~20 year time period You asked about getting the engine/trans?

Re: [MBZ] Growly and vibrating tandem pump 300TE......fixed
Looks like I owe Peter a cigar, it turned out to be the alternator pulley being off center, genius auto electrician used the old non springy spring washer to fasten the pulley. Came loose and wore an oblong hole in the pulley, the auto sparky re-tightened it but did not check that it was center, me being a trusting fool didn't check it either. Anyway all is fixed now and everything is quiet, for the time being. Hendrik who is feeling both annoyed and a bit silly Peter Frederick wrote: Don't forget the alternator and the water pump too And the fan is not on the water pump, it's on a separate bearing, and that can be bad too. Take the belt off and check everything for play and roughness. If you did replace the belt tensioner roller, it should be good, but this is the 21st century and there is no reason to think it's not bad in the box. Peter On Feb 24, 2009, at 9:23 PM, Hendrik Fay wrote: Right, I gutted the tandem pump and the noise and vibration are still present, time to shoot the bitch. What sort of shot should I use? Anyway this makes me think that the pump is not the culprit, now it's onto the fan belt tensioner, although it is only a few months old, maybe try a new tensioner dampener, as it is pretty old. Ooooh the joys of working on cars. Hendrik who will not be beaten Hendrik Fay wrote: OK so I put a new seal kit in the tandem pump but the noise is still there, new hose from MB is 570 oz beans and they come from Germany. The reason I am talking hose is that I rebuilt the original high pressure expansion hose after it blew a hole in it. Everything was sweet for a while but then this noise started. My plan now is to take the guts out of the tandem pump (the little pistons out of the SLS part and vanes out of the PS part) to see if this eliminates the noise. I have tried to find a SH hose but have not have much luck locally. Does anyone see a problem with removing those parts out of the pump and then running it? Hendrik who is being driven bonkers by this noise Loren Faeth wrote: Both fluids full up? Growling is usually cavitation from lack of fluid. If fluids are full, start looking for a pump, I guess. The pumps can be rebuilt, but getting the new seal in is a bear. I ruined one, so my rebuild cost me $160 for the 2 kits. To get a kit, you have to have all the info off the pump plate as well as the VIN. At 07:47 PM 2/5/2009, you wrote: The tandem pump in my 89 300TE makes a growling noisy and vibrates at 1300rpm, fine at idle and above 1500rpm. Got the missus to turn the steering wheel while I held the motor at 1300rpm but made no difference to the noise. Power steering is fine and ride level control seems to be working OK, fluid is being pumped as I can see it flowing back into the reservoir. Is this noise an indication that the pump is heading south, are there any other tests I can do? I eliminated the AC compressor but it may be the water pump but like I said the tandem pump is vibrating, whilst the water pump is not. Ahh well the good news is that it is not the motor or the gearbox because when the fan belt is removed the noise is gone. Unfortunately I can't run components individually, this is an advantage of the multi belt set up.

[MBZ] Anniversary: 40 Years of the Porsche 917
capacity of the Porsche sports car. To date, the reputation of the 917 is legendary. Therefore, 50 international motor sports experts from the famous British trade magazine “Motor Sport” nominated the 917 as the “greatest racing car in history”. All in all, Porsche built 65 units of the 917: 44 sports cars as short-tail and long-tail coupés, two PA Spyders as well as 19 sports cars as CanAm and Interseries Spyders with up to 1,400 HP turbo engines. Seven of the most important 917 models – among them the Le Mans victory cars from 1970 and 1971 and the 917/30 Spyder – are currently on exhibit in the new Porsche Museum in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen. ** Need a job?

Re: [MBZ] A few informal road tests
Toyota Prius Geneva marked the European debut of the new Prius, along with the promise that it will deliver an impressive 46 percent increase in smugness levels. The new car's revised hybrid drive system is now said to be even more complicated, guaranteeing that the self-righteous idiots that buy a Prius will have even less chance of understanding it and therefore almost no hope of realising that it involves carting around a load of extra weight and rare metals and that if they really wanted to save the bloody planet they'd get a small locally made diesel.

[MBZ] OT: Computerz
SWMBA has decided that we need to give her mother one of our Pismos (little does she know that I have a replacement lined up!) and hook her up with Verizon broadband wireless. (They have dial-up right now.) I got a PC5750 card today for $20, so we should be set. We chose Verizon because that's the phone service they have, as does SWMBA's brother's family, who will actually be getting tagged with the bill. I suppose we'll be tech support, and throw them money from time to time for our share. (This is the cast-off Pismo, with the slow CPU, no built-in Airport [which MIL can't use anyway], and a CD drive. Bad Ethernet port too. Works pretty well, though, and it's the one I end up using the most! So it'll be a good unit, if it works out at all.)

[MBZ] That MB pick up is actually rare
A few days ago someone posted this http://santafe.craigslist.org/cto/1061700386.html I posted that on the ozbenz forum, knowing that the sponsor has a soft spot for those old monsters (particularly the bus/coach variants) and apparently there is not a whole lot of those left with a factory tray fitted. Most having been driven into the ground or butchered. So that may be a good deal, depending on condition.
