Re: [MBZ] 124 headlight "rims" or "doors" replacement

[Jim Cathey]

Do you have to remove the entire headlight assembly to change the clear
plastic that surrounds the main light, or can you loosen enough to 
change it

in-place? Anyone BTDT?


Just did a 126, and had to remove the whole banana.  _Maybe_ you
could do it in-place, but I doubt it.  The three bails that catch
the ears on the bezels  aren't easily accessible in-place, and
they're very brittle by now.  You don't want to break them off
of the headlight body.

Re: [MBZ] OT Beer review

[E M]

All the suds here have the alcohol content printed on the label.  And in the
typical Canadian way, anything that smells good, tastes good, or makes you
feel good, must be taxed and priced accordingly.  A can of Fuller's London
Porter..$2.45 a 500ml can!  And that is in no way the most expensive beer.
Shocking I tell you!

Re: [MBZ] 124 headlight "rims" or "doors" replacement

[Dieselhead]

No, you don't have to take out the headlights, butthe old 
cracked ones may disintegrate when you try to move them.


As for swapping the whole assembly, that should work, but i think you 
have to remove the headlight "doors" first.  (been 3 or 4 years since 
I did that.)  So, it kind of defeats the purpose of swapping the 
whole assembly to avoid having to disturb the brittle plastic.





Do you have to remove the entire headlight assembly to change the clear
plastic that surrounds the main light, or can you loosen enough to change it
in-place? Anyone BTDT?
I want to move the nice looking ploastic from the vergasser to the Diesel
with the old, checked and cracked plastic, and the reverse as well. Don't
want to damage the old cracked plastis, as it needs to end up on the
vergasser.

A complcating factor is that the vergasser has headlight wipers, and the
Diesel doesn't. I wonder if the wiring is in place to just swap the whole
light assembly?

The regeneration mode is to burn off the soot which it does by injecting

Re: [MBZ] OT Super-8 Conversion.

[Jim Cathey]

Didn't the old 12" discs have okayish video?


Yup.  Laserdisc.  Got lots of 'em.  I like that
it's like a tape player in that _I_ am in control,
versus a DVD player that makes me feel like it's
rewarding me for saving the princess by (eventually,
maybe) showing me a movie...

Higher res than VHS or Beta, lower than DVD.  No
motion artifacts, though.  Analog video, usually
digital audio.  (Not initially, but later in the
product lifecycle.)  Introduced in 1977, used
honest-to-God HeNe laser tubes for awhile.

Some years ago when I worked for a company making
some of the first gigabit Ethernet switches they
borrowed my player and some movies for a trade show,
because re-digitizing DVD output for sending through
the network ended up looking kinds crappy.  The LD demo'd
much better, and certainly better than VHS, and it was a
commercial-type player with no front panel controls that
just played over and over again.  Perfect for the demo
floor.  As I recall, it was Waterworld we put in it.

IMO once the video is on the computer, the longest lived storage  
would be
online storage.   Some ISPs offer "free" storage of several GBs -  
Comcast
(my ISP) keep increasing it to stay competitive - I also use  
Carbonite - an
automatic backup service which will save the current version of any  
file on

the primary hard drive ($60/yr).

AFAIK my HD contents are safe as long as I pay the fee.   With Johns
comments about losing date from burned CD in <6 years makesme wat to  
save as
much as possible on the HD so it'll be backed-up.  With the cost of  
HD GBs
coming down it just males it easier that way.  I saw a TB HD at a  
computer

store for <$50.   Ha!  I remember when our PCs at work had 20MBs of HD
space!  I couldn't comprehend a single GB - how could we even need  
so much
space?   Course, that was 20 years ago.  Go back farther & I used  
punch

cards.  ("what's that?" asks the younger generation)  LOL -

That depends on the definition of "quality". If yours is "color

Worse still many (most?) VHS movies are

I presume you are trying to say "VHS movies aspect ratio is

and we left the waitress a $10 tip (as per instructions). Plus we where allowed
to sit at the bar and smoke, bloody luxury but they said that come July the 1st,
smoking will be banned in bars/eateries across WI. So we have just made it in
time, cough cough.
The 240D doesn't seem to be leaking, which surprises me, I was expecting the 
boot
to be full of water by the time we got to Milwaukee.

But you know, I can put a tape in, press play, and the damn thing works.

With DVDs I'm always getting freezes, I have to stop and clean the disk,
navigate back to where I was, etc.  If I need to stop a tape I can stop
it, even remove it and come back later and it picks up right where it
left off.  I don't have to watch the studio logos and FBI warnings and
all that other crapola that it won't let me skip.

The extra resolution of the DVD image is just not a big deal to me.  VHS
is fine, and it's a hell of a lot more user friendly.

Just don't make a turn, for example, and roll out into a left, "oncoming" 
lane.  Years ago, in Bermuda, for example, I had to keep telling myself, 
"Stay left, stay left," to help me avoid my "inbred" tendency to roll out in 
a right hand lane after a turn - learned during a lifetime of driving on the 
RIGHT side of the road.

there is not really any acclimatizing to be done but I might have to see 
if I can
buy a nice HD hoodie and track suit pants to keep WARM, at least the

in the 240D and we have no need for A/C, not like it would be working.
We may do the Miller brewery tour and see what else there is to do in

Re: [MBZ] Ford 7.4l Powerstroke Question

[LWB250]

Yeah, I think it's about a year old, so that may be the case.
Apparently these models had problems with sooting up or something, so that they 
have a "regeneration" mode where they burn off exhaust gases.  Originally, 
there were problems with the amount of heat coming out of the exhaust when they 
did this, so much so that it could damage vehicles next to you in traffic.  To 
prevent that from happening they put a sort of "baffle" on the exhaust, which 
his has.
Better than the old "Model A ignition coil/sparkplug in the exhaust" trick from 
years ago

If he bought it NEW last year, it's a 6.4L.  They have the "wonderful" diesel 
particulate filter (DPF) and EGR cooler emissions that cause too much soot to 
build up in the exhaust system.  They are still sorting out the 2007 to current 
model dodges with the cummins as well.

That depends on the definition of "quality". If yours is "color
resolution" - absolutely! If the definition is "luminance
resolution during high motion", VHS can win easily.

Compression artifacts vs color under heterodyne junk.  I don't
like either one!!

I presume you are trying to say "VHS movies aspect ratio is
converted to 4:3 by cutting off the edges".  I have - or did
have - quite a number that were letterboxed - so the image was
not cut off. Instead the vertical resolution goes way down
because 1/3 of the screen is black (wasted space) to make it fit
a 4:3 window.

Well we made it to Milwaukee, just, we do get people pointing at us, however for
the price I can't complain, it has character that modern cars just don't have.
Far as the weather goes, cold, wet and windy just like Adelaide in the winter so
there is not really any acclimatizing to be done but I might have to see if I 
can
buy a nice HD hoodie and track suit pants to keep WARM, at least the heater 
works
in the 240D and we have no need for A/C, not like it would be working.
We may do the Miller brewery tour and see what else there is to do in Milwaukee,
we passed six flags and a military vehicle museum, which we may look at on the
way back to Chicago.

IMO once the video is on the computer, the longest lived storage would be 
online storage.   Some ISPs offer "free" storage of several GBs - Comcast 
(my ISP) keep increasing it to stay competitive - I also use Carbonite - an 
automatic backup service which will save the current version of any file on 
the primary hard drive ($60/yr).

AFAIK my HD contents are safe as long as I pay the fee.   With Johns 
comments about losing date from burned CD in <6 years makesme wat to save as 
much as possible on the HD so it'll be backed-up.  With the cost of HD GBs 
coming down it just males it easier that way.  I saw a TB HD at a computer 
store for <$50.   Ha!  I remember when our PCs at work had 20MBs of HD 
space!  I couldn't comprehend a single GB - how could we even need so much 
space?   Course, that was 20 years ago.  Go back farther & I used punch 
cards.  ("what's that?" asks the younger generation)  LOL -

Only
if they are handled with cotton gloves and stored with meticulous
cleanliness.  This is the reason I think that DVDs are one of the
biggest consumer scams ever perpetrated.  I've had dozens of DVDs
become either totally or partly unplayable due to what appears to be a
fairly minor scratch.  I've never had a VHS tape do this, in fact I
have some tapes that are well over 20 years old that still play fine. 
I think this is mostly due to the VHS cassette design which protects
the tape when it's not actually in the player.

Yeah the picture
quality of VHS is not quite that of a DVD but it's good enough, and on
the plus side you can easily skip the previews and FBI warnings, no
menus to fool with, and they work.

As a result I don't buy DVDs anymore, and I've never bought a single Blu-Ray 
disc nor will I.

Re: [MBZ] Neat, and interesting, new problem. 240D / W123

[LarryT]

You're right!  If installed wrong, the engine can go to max rpm and stay 
there until it runs out of fuel or air - or it seizes after turning cherry 
red!It's happened before -


The instructions in the WSM are pretty clear - and you can check the install 
before tightening the fasteners.


To test the Fuel Shutoff, have the engine running and pull the vac hose to 
the shutoff - apply vacuum to the hose and the valve should shutoff the 
engine, if not the valve is bad.


Rusty has new valves - pretty inexpensive.

Good luck

If all the lines are properly hooked up, and all other vacuum operated
systems work normally, then it could be the shutoff device itself.  It 
seems

to me I had to replace that on the '79 300TD once.  This was a while back
and my recollection on this is fuzzy.  The one thing that I remember

is that if it is not installed exactly right it could lead to a serious

Black Butte Porter is indeed a fine local beer for something you can
buy at the supermarket (well, at least if that supermarket is in
western Oregon or Washington). I tried my best to get Hendrik to
include the Pacific Northwest in his travel plans!  He has only
himself to blame for not getting a chance at the best beers in the
country.  In Portland or Seattle you could drink ten different
locally-brewed beers a day for a month and not have the same one
twice...

OMG.  I have never before seen a Marathon for sale.  If I hadn't quit
buying project cars cold turkey until some of the ones I have are
drivable again...  I think I would repaint that one, keep the stock
wheels, but have a nicely upholstered interior installed.  Then beef
up the suspension for high-speed handling and put an LT1 under the
hood.  Sort of a stealth rod.

It was a bit anticlimactic.  I gambled that the threat to report me to
somebody higher up was an empty one, politely told the friendly state
employees to go fudge themselves, accepted a "fail" report, and went
to another emissions testing station in town which was rumored to be
more lax about the on-car part of the process.  Sure enough these guys
didn't look under the car (the first place had a mirror on a stick,
like a giant dental mirror, with which they inspected your exhaust
system) and I passed just fine.

Re: [MBZ] Neat, and interesting, new problem. 240D / W123

[Greg Fiorentino]

If all the lines are properly hooked up, and all other vacuum operated
systems work normally, then it could be the shutoff device itself.  It seems
to me I had to replace that on the '79 300TD once.  This was a while back
and my recollection on this is fuzzy.  The one thing that I remember clearly
is that if it is not installed exactly right it could lead to a serious
problem.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong ;)  but I've transferred plenty of
film to video using the method I outlined with a garage-sale cheapo
projector  and various consumer-level video cameras and never seen any
flicker to speak of, certainly no more than is in the projected image
when viewed normally.  But then some people's brains have more or less
persistence of vision built in, IIRC.

Re: [MBZ] Neat, and interesting, new problem. 240D / W123

Will trace back to IP and see what is going on there, then.

More likely to happen on a OM617, but I often seem to disturb
the vacuum lines when I change the oil filter.

So the first thing I would do is notice if the doors lock/unlock
normally. If not, then it's pump, check valve, or lines into the
cabin.

If the locks behave normally, I'd first check the hose
going to the injection pump.

If it's connected - hook it to a manual vacuum source
(MightyVac, lungs, etc) and see if applying vacuum to the IP
will shut the engine off.

If it does, then the problem is somewhere in the valving and
piping.

If not - it's the IP thingy.

[MBZ] The chairmans Mercedes

[Hendrik and Fay]

Well, we picked up mao's 'spare' Merc and it's ummnhnot quite what I
expected, I wasn't expecting a showroom condition example but.anyway I
attached a couple of pics for your viewing pleasure.
After we put some air in the tires and jump started it, one of the fuel return
hoses was leaking, luckily Dan had some hose that fitted and chucked some in the
boot, in case some of the others start to leak, along with some tools for
roadside repairs.
It drives reasonably well, except for a bit of vibration at highway speeds but
that could be the tires? Touch wood it will get us around the place.

Re: [MBZ] Ford 7.4l Powerstroke Question

[LWB250]

There is something called a "Bully Dog" that the service guys mentioned.  
Apparently it's some sort of tuning device that works through the OBDII port 
and allows you to "tune" the engine and transmission for the type of 
performance you want.

Pricey, but sort of cool.

Re: [MBZ] no cat

[Tim C]

I was thinking about this last night; even if you re-position or
upgrade the cats in a US '75/'76 450SL so as to avoid the engine
problems (as I think Wonko or OK Don or somebody had suggested in the
first place) wouldn't you have tampered with the emissions system and
therefore broken the law, anyway?  You'd maybe be a pinch less likely
to get caught but it would still seem to be tampering, even if it was
an upgrade.

Guess you might have insight into this, depending what happened next. :)

Re: [MBZ] 66 230SL in local paper

[Dieselhead]

And if you are lucky with an MGB, you might spent 10% as much time on 
the road as the SL.  Remember the evil Prince of Darkness, too



I like the MGB roadster better.  And it's 10% of the cost of the 230SL.

Re: [MBZ] Ford 7.4l Powerstroke Question

[pm7088]

I Assume you are referring to the 7.3L Power-stroke. 

Very good engine, big power from 1995 technology. Mine has almost 300Kmi. About 
$1500 in engine related repairs along the way. 

Can it be 'chipped'? Yes, you can also poke a rod thru the pan if you like. 

I'm guessing a 4wd F-350 weighs #7000 EMPTY. MAybe 16 mpg? 

My 2wd F-250 gets 19mpg, ON IT'S BEST DAY. 

Towing #11,000 camper, we get about 11mpg. 

You get what you pay for.

Subject: [MBZ] Ford 7.4l Powerstroke Question 

Anybody here have any experience with these engines? 

I ask because one of the business owners drives one in a 3/4 ton 4WD F350. He's 
complaining about the mileage (or lack thereof) and wonders what options he may 
have to tweak it to make it more efficient. 

I suspect it can be "chipped" and if he went to extremes have a Banks turbo kit 
put on it. I know nothing about late model diesel, so I wasn't sure what 
options, if any, he has. 

Thanks in advance, 

Dan

[MBZ] Monark injector nozzles

[David Bruckmann]

Hi gang,

I gather that the Bosch injectors are now generally crap, no longer produced in 
Germany and with highly variable quality. There appear to be many accounts 
online of this phenomenon.

What's everyone's experience with Monark nozzles? Apparently they are made in 
Germany?

D.
