Re: [MBZ] Off the topic: Australiana

[Hendrik Riessen]

Thanks Phillip, that info helps enormously - Crocodile Dundee was made in the 
80's - way before my children's time.
I guess my kids only know of the movies cos of the re runs on tv every year 
around Christmas
I thought a few of you might of heard of Dame Edna, but suspected Norman 
Gunstan would be a long shot.

Interesting you should ask.  Last weekend I was with a bunch of
high school and collage aged kids and made reference to Paul
Hogan, ("That's not a knife. This is a knife!"). Blank looks.  I
said. That from the movie "Crocodile Dundee".  No one had heard
of it.  So at least with that group it would not do so well. *smile*

Regarding Edna Everage or Noramn Gunston - I rather doubt the
average person in the USA has any clue who they are.

Re: [MBZ] Ball Joint Lube

[John Reames]

Aren't insulin needles like #28 or #30?

Iirc, blood is drawn through a #19, and you need a #17 to draw oil- 
soluble stuff into a syringe (i think it may be in sesame seed oil...)


#17 leaves a nice hole, btw...
I'd you are careful about insertion into the boot you may be able to  
avoid coring the rubber... You need to insert it at an angle so that  
the cut end is perpendicular to the rubber, and push the needle  
sideways away from the "opening" while inserting it...


They have fancy-ass needles with a built-in jig that they use for just  
the purpose of going through a silicone rubber membrane that covers  
the end of a subcutaneous access port for a central venous catheter...


(I am not a doctor... Just the dad of a 3.75 yr old who has been in  
remission for 1.5-2 yrs...)

I bet if you heated the grease a bit it would go through even a very

Some cheaper options:

  http://www.checkthatvin.com/uni2/index.cfm

These search the national motor vehicle title database.

If you just want to check if a vehicle has been reported stolen or

Nope. But that was a factory-approved fix (IIRC) for my '64 Alfa Romeo
Guilia TI. The lubricant (also IIRC) was something like gear oil.

"As I mentioned, please don't disturb the tenants.  Now, the key to the car 
is in the kitchen on a hanger by the right side of the garage door into the 
house, and there's a key to that door under the floor mat.  The outside 
overhead door will be unlocked, but try to keep the noise down as I 
mentioned - the fat guy is a light sleeper.  Anyway as I said that inner 
door opens right into the kitchen, so you shouldn't have any problem 
opening it and reaching to the right.  Oh, if you hear the police coming as 
you leave I suggest pulling as far off the road as possible, the roads are 
pretty narrow back that way."

Can you still take a cardboard replica of a knife into an 'educational' 
institution in the USA without getting arrested?

there)

Re: [MBZ] Ball Joint Lube

[Kaleb C. Striplin]

I have nursed them along injecting tranny fluid in there.  Keeps it 
quiet for several weeks or more then it comes back.

Has anyone ever done the "inject lubricant into a dry ball joint" thing?

I ask because the wife's 2005 Mazda 6 has a couple of ball joints that are 
getting noisy, and my local mechanic, who is ethical and honest as the day is 
long, says there may be a dry ball joint that's making the noises we're hearing 
intermittently, as everything checks out fine otherwise.

I have some insulin syringes that would be perfect for the job, but I'm 
concerned about what sort of lubricant I could use that would be viscous enough 
to go through the syringe as well as be compatible with whatever grease/lube 
that's in there from the factory.

TIA,

Dan

Yessir!  THat'd be a coonskin cap.  Rich folk wore raccoon coats and

I used to watch Davy Crockett when I was a kid. It was a pretty 
popular show in NZ. He wore a racoon hat didn't he?

Hi Alex

Finally got round to responding, apologies for the delay & don't
know if this will get through due to email issues - as you all know.
There is definitely a gremlin in the system that H can't find.

I've never heard of the Outback steakhouse (emigrated here 22 years
ago from NZ) & have been to Broken Hill where Mad Max Movies were
made.
Yes it was tragic what happened to Steve Irwin but in my opinion he
was the most irritating human being to come out of Oz.

Georgia (daughter) would like to know if any of you have heard of:
Dame Edna Everage or Norman Gunstan and
how popular were the Crocodile Dundee (Paul Hogan) Movies in the US.
The team have to do a skit at the FPS conference on Australia.

Have to agree why couldn't they have got an actual Aussie actor to
do the voice over  for Outback Steakhouse commerical's there are
plenty of them in the US - that's shameful.

Fay


Yup.  Outback Steakhouse, Steve Irwin, and the Mad Max movies pretty
much sum up all the average American knows about Australia, I think.

Having been to Oz and heard some really thick accents there,
especially in Tasmania, I wince every time an Outback commercial comes
on the TV---couldn't they have gotten an actual Aussie actor to do the
voiceover, instead of an American trying (and failing pitifully) to do
the accent?

reading it wrong...

I put new spark plugs in my motorcycle tonight, spec'd gap is 0.024-0.028 which 
is just about as small as my gauge will do. Hadta look at the numbers several

Re: [MBZ] World's worst autos

[Mitch Haley]

Well, I know we have been through this all before but I had a brand 
spanking new Chevy Vega in 1974. It was not much of a car but I drove it 
about 3.5 years and the total depreciation was about $1400. I doubt I 
will ever match that again.


When did they get rid of the 140ci aluminum engine and start with the 151ci Iron 
Duke? Seems like I've seen 1976 Cosworth Vegas with the aluminum block and a 16v 
head. I don't think the aluminum engine ever rolled off the assembly line with 
iron liners, but you could buy liner/piston kits from JC Whitney.

Re: [MBZ] Ball Joint Lube

[John Reames]

Hmmm... I've seen that... I had a replacement for a Hyundai that came  
from "moog", and it was a hyundai joint. (marked "HMC"), and was  
identical to the factory joint except the metal disc in the bottom had  
an untapped hole to fit an included zerk into...


I wonder what would happen if you judiciously drilled a hole in the  
cap and tapped a zerk into it?


Assuming you didn't get any swart inside the joint, the new grease  
should push under the ball and flush dirt from around the upper side  
to a location higher up in the boot...

Re: [MBZ] 124 seats

[Dillon, Meade M CIV SPAWARSYSCEN-ATLANTIC, 53310]

Maybe Igor owned the car?  "Wasn't that hump on the other side?"  "What
hump?"

Worse, maybe the car (or at least the seat) was in an accident and
permanently deformed?

A good used seat may be the answer, if you won't be carrying passengers
in the near future maybe swap with the right side and thus have free
license to tear into the left side seat?

I don't know.  I have decided to drop the project for now.  "Uncle" 
I am convinced the whoever took the seat apart and messed it up glued
the seatcover to the groove.  I tried running a plastic putty knife
along the edge (groove, clip, or whatever you want to call it)  and then
pushing the cover out from inside with the handle of the putty knife.

I think I am going to see if I can find a used seat that is correct then

Anyone know if a 124 and a 201 seat is the same?

If I get a spare seat, maybe I can figure out if Jim's idea of
correcting the problem at the motor end of the cable is possible. 
Right now I can't risk ruining the cover or the seat.

Unbolting the back and tilt assy from the seat base didn't accomplish
anything.  It did show the seat back sprung into correct position in
relationship to the right side of the seat back.  I had to push pretty
hard on the seatback to get it crooked enough to get the last bolt back
in.

Re: [MBZ] Ball Joint Lube

[Dieselhead]

Put some M1 15-50 in with the needle.  as a second coat, i"d use 
molykote BR2 gun grease for the follow up.   I put some M1 on my 124 
joint to quiet the infernal creaking until I could get it replaced. 
The boot was way far gone, so no needle was needed.



My Indy says that he has found that some ball joints, while still 
sealed and retaining the factory lube, can develop rust on the 
surfaces inside the joint, which then falls off and gets into the 
spaces between the ball and socket.  As a result they will make 
noise, and even worse, do it intermittently.


He went over the front end of the car in detail as well as road 
tested it and found no bad joints, torn boots, etc.  This is why he 
suspects one of the joints is dry.


Makes sense to me, as the noise that's been coming from the right 
front has been intermittent and changes regularly as well.  When I 
drove the car on Sunday morning to take my eldest to work, the right 
front was making noise consistently.  When my indy drove it today 
over his local "course" for checking suspension it didn't make a 
peep, hence his diagnosis.


Thanks for the suggestions, everyone.  I'm probably going to shoot 
some goo into all three of the joints on that side and see what 
happens

Am I reading this all wrong? If the limit is .787 that means anything 
thinner than that (like .750) is junk... So if you had .800 you could turn 
down as far as .787...


The big question is not how thick the old ones are but how thick the NEW 
ones are. I'm given to understand the last decade or so has brought in 
real crap for brake discs. My Dad runs a landfill and says they used to 
get extra money for brake discs but now they don't.

Hi Gang,
I replaced my front discs a while back with a set of discs and 
calipers

I bought from a fellow lister (got a great deal on a complete set of
calipers and discs, and pads from a 95 300D) - the old ones I removed are
approx. .750" and the limit according to the book is .787" (20mm) -  but I
have not frane of reference of how much is normally removed when discs are
turned.  I know it depends on the depth of any scoring but that's it.

If minimal metal needs to come off, would the .037" be enough to clean
up a typical disc?  Plus, I wouldn't want the discs to be turned to .750"
and have 0 metal left as wear material.

I'm probably not framing this question very well - basically, I am
wondering if it's worthwhile to have a shop mess with trying to clean 
these

up?   Does any of this makes sense?

BTW, the ones I bought have performed flawlessly!  ;-)

Any ideas?
Thx

I have some insulin syringes that would be perfect for the job, but

Re: [MBZ] Ball Joint Lube

[Peter Frederick]

Synthetic wheel bearing grease will work fine, but I suspect you will find that 
the ball joint is dry because (duh) all the existing lubricant has leaked out 
due to a bad boot or wear.

They start squeaking when they get dirt in them, so I would figure on a 
replacement.  More grease won't do anything about the dirt, which can't be 
removed, and it will start knocking when it stops squeaking in a short while.

[MBZ] Ball Joint Lube

[LWB250]

Has anyone ever done the "inject lubricant into a dry ball joint" thing?

I ask because the wife's 2005 Mazda 6 has a couple of ball joints that are 
getting noisy, and my local mechanic, who is ethical and honest as the day is 
long, says there may be a dry ball joint that's making the noises we're hearing 
intermittently, as everything checks out fine otherwise.

I have some insulin syringes that would be perfect for the job, but I'm 
concerned about what sort of lubricant I could use that would be viscous enough 
to go through the syringe as well as be compatible with whatever grease/lube 
that's in there from the factory.

TIA,

Dan

Re: [MBZ] Way Off Topic - Paint

[harry watkins]

I always store left over paint upside down.  Doesn't always work but I never 
tracked results to have a better feel.


I wonder if it would work to put the paint can in one of those bags that you 
can vacuum out the air?  I get the bags at Wal-Mart and they hold up pretty 
well.

Re: [MBZ] World's worst autos

[Curt Raymond]

Written by a non-car person... The Corvair entry is correct but doesn't mention 
that the problems were fixed...
The Vega too was a terrible car when first released but not terrible by the 
time they got the bugs worked out. Most people that have real horror stories 
bought them used and neglected...

The true horror is that the entire article is filled with bits like this from 
the Fiero: "2-seater and you weren't diligent about changing the oil, drove
aggressively and also ran out of oil, you might have ended up with a
broken connecting rod." Gee, if you don't change the oil, drive aggressively 
and run out of oil the engine breaks, big shock...

Re: [MBZ] Off the topic: Australiana

[Dieselhead]

Americans love Crocidile Dundee, because it is like a modern Davey 
Crockett.  Most Americans have never heard of Davey Crockett, but DO 
know about Crocadile Dundee.  The spirit of freedom and independence, 
and the yearning for the same is in every human.  Thus the popularity 
of Dundee, Start Wars and the like.
It sounds like the OZ of old, where men are men and all citizens are 
free and independent is even further down the UK/France sewer of 
wimpification, PC and socialist rubbish than we are.



Dundee movies VERY popular.  We really like Crocodile Dundee; even I 
like him, especially when uses lines such as, "That's not a knife; 
THIS is a knife."

Re: [MBZ] 124 seats

[Dieselhead]

No, the seat moves every direction possible.  the problem is that the 
right side of the seat back is 2-3 inches further back than the left 
side,   It is very irritating for long hauls.  The problem was 
identified in the first post of this thread.  Jim correctly 
identified the cause of the problem as the "rod" that connects the 
two sides of the seat back being off a tooth or two.  I had taken out 
the seat and determined that the slides we in correct relationship to 
each other.  Then Jim Identified the seat gear/rod problem.


I have been unable to get the seatback "rod" out of the seat, and the 
CD references a handwheel (manual ) seat, whereas all the 124s sold 
in Nort Amerika are electric.


The CD gives no clues about the electric seats, other than the 
reference to "remove the flexible rod"

for the manual seat.

Does anyone have a spare 124 electric seat to take apart and give me 
some ideas?


I am going to try unbolting the left side of the seat back and see if 
that will spring enough to get the "rod" our of one side or the 
other.  I can't get the "rod" to move out of the seat gear otherwise. 
I don't waht to drill out the rivets because I don't know if I can 
get replacements  Maybe all they are is 1/8 " pop rivets, but I don't 
know for sure.  But I don't need to replace the gear; I just need to 
get the two sides to line up.


It is a puzzle, and I hate rubic's cube

Ah, yes, the lack of information in the W124 service manual.

I thought you were concerned with the seat moving on its mounting rails.

Anyway, the first page of 91-125 says,

   Flexible shaft (2) .  pull out of gears.

Perhaps you use the flexibility of the shaft to shorten its length so it
comes out of the gears and is then free of them. The point of this
section is the removal and replacement of the gears themselves.

Note that the handwheel (8) and cover (9) must be replaced following

Almost everyone over the age of 30 or so will have heard of Crocodile
Dundee / Paul Hogan.  I think the most recent thing Mr. Hogan has done
is a series of commercials for Subaru, a few years ago.

Georgia (daughter) would like to know if any of you have heard of:
Dame Edna Everage or Norman Gunstan and
how popular were the Crocodile Dundee (Paul Hogan) Movies in the US.
The team have to do a skit at the FPS conference on Australia.

Have to agree why couldn't they have got an actual Aussie actor to do 
the voice over  for Outback Steakhouse commerical's there are plenty of 
them in the US - that's shameful.

Yup.  Outback Steakhouse, Steve Irwin, and the Mad Max movies pretty
much sum up all the average American knows about Australia, I think.

Having been to Oz and heard some really thick accents there,
especially in Tasmania, I wince every time an Outback commercial comes
on the TV---couldn't they have gotten an actual Aussie actor to do the
voiceover, instead of an American trying (and failing pitifully) to do
the accent?
