Re: [MBZ] Genuine MB Monovalve Inserts!!

2016-12-14 Thread MG via Mercedes

Probably not getting power. Check the fuses. If any are corroded 
put in new copper or brass fuses.

From: roger...@comcast.net

While on the subject of monovalves, my 83 300D has a problem of 
all heat all the time. I replaced the insert, but didn't seem to 
cure the problem. Could it be a bad vac module somewhere, bad 
PBU, or what? Suggestions, advice, etc. I"ve been tempted to just 
clamp the hose, but that's not a real solution.

Thanks,
Roger

The purpose of this auction is to SELL 1 (one) galvanized steel fire

Bidders are encouraged to remove the pylons, along with the tower;
however, it is not required to remove the pylons. Bidders who remove the
pylons shall cause minimal ground disturbance when removing pylons, as
well as, return the ground to its previous state, including providing
necessary fill dirt.

This is a 100 ft. tower with a side door entrance and a standard 8' X 8'
ft. or 64 sq. ft. cabin. It was constructed in 1953 of galvanized steel
with pressure treated wood steps and cabin floor, both of which are in
fair condition.

Tower Location: 4950 CR 208 St. Augustine Fl, 32096.

OS 10.11  and winders 10 SUCK worse than 10.6 and XP.XP with the 
"classic" interface was the peak of M$ os, and I have little experience 
with OS 10 other than 10.6 and 10.11, but 10.6 is the peak of Apfel Mac 
OS in my experience.  I know prior versions had shortcomings, and later 
had nothing inspiring.  El crap is much worse than 10.6.  Winders 
Wisss-ta was a disaster, 7 offered no improvement, 8 was a disaster, and 
10 offers no improvement, only that it has not yet been forced into 
obsolescence.

Until and unless someone comes up with non-silicon wafer based 
semiconductor based transistors, we are at the end of the road.  No 
more speed, no more cores, just about the only thing that will change 
is the details of the designs and software.


Apple is doing the one thing I've always disliked, forcing you to keep 
spending money for new stuff that's not all that different than the 
old stuff, particularly today where the processors aren't different 
enough to tell apart, they just change the software enough to keep you 
shelling out cash.


Other processors are better than Intel "cpu" chips anyway -- no one is 
using them in smart phones, which are vastly more powerful that a 
desktop was a few years ago.  End of the road stuff, I think.


I don't anticipate any major changes in the next decade -- once you 
reach the physical limits of size in computing devices, you cannot 
improve speed or transistor density.


Needless to say, the software stinks just as much as it always did

A while ago I was looking at new macbooks to replace an original 
Macbook 1,1 and I was shocked to see there is virtually no improvement 
in processors in the past 5 years.  Core i5 and core i7.  More 
recently, I was looking idly at windoze laptops and see that not only 
are they still selling core 2 duo, but also Pentium processors are 
still on the new market.


At the same time, apfel has forced obsolescence of all core2, core 2 
duo, and recently announced forced obsolescence of core i5 and i7 
computers made in 2011.


I no longer keep up with all the developments, but it seems to me that 
the roles have reversed, and rather than having 20 yr old macs working 
and a 2 or 3 yr old windoze boz won't run the new windoze; now we have 
10 or 15 yr old windoze boxes running and 5 yr old macs dead.


Its enough to make someone turn to penguins.

What wisdom/comments to y'all have about the current state of computing?

To me is seems stupid to obsolete macs that are far better than many 
of the winders machines being sold now.

Re: [MBZ] Sorta OT: new Computers

2016-12-14 Thread Peter Frederick via Mercedes

Until and unless someone comes up with non-silicon wafer based  
semiconductor based transistors, we are at the end of the road.  No  
more speed, no more cores, just about the only thing that will change  
is the details of the designs and software.


Apple is doing the one thing I've always disliked, forcing you to keep  
spending money for new stuff that's not all that different than the  
old stuff, particularly today where the processors aren't different  
enough to tell apart, they just change the software enough to keep you  
shelling out cash.


Other processors are better than Intel "cpu" chips anyway -- no one is  
using them in smart phones, which are vastly more powerful that a  
desktop was a few years ago.  End of the road stuff, I think.


I don't anticipate any major changes in the next decade -- once you  
reach the physical limits of size in computing devices, you cannot  
improve speed or transistor density.


Needless to say, the software stinks just as much as it always did

Peter

The original comment was not about Jon or his particular car.  It is a 
general thing.  A 240D 3.0 like Craig's to me is 3 times more preferable 
than a 300D, just because of the hassle of the constantly breaking ACC.  
ACC II was a complete disaster (Crypsler), but accIII is THE MOST 
FAILURE PRONE SYSTEM on the cars it is installed on.  The rest of the 
the world could order it IF THEY WISH as an option.  MomBUSA  forced it 
on the US/NA market.  NO CHOICE (except the 240D)

That doesn't bother me, as sagging sales will determine if they need to 
put the magsafe and/or earphone jacks back on or not.  (BTW, I agree 
with you; they are worse than the old products)



What burns me is that in 5 yrs you will HAVE to do with out them because 
they will turn your computer with them OFF.  (or force you to visit the 
penguin...)


I had that happen with 2 hard drives I bought in 2001.  After 10 years, 
(seldom used) they both bricked.  No warning, no chance to get stuff 
off.   Just a brick because the software was written to do that.

Not new.

I drove a Jeep at the 2015 Chowdah Q that did this.  You come to a stop, after 
a few seconds the engine shuts off. As soon as you put your foot on the gas to 
take off, the engine cranks and away you go.

Made me crazy. I hated it, but it worked. I could only think that I hoped they 
re-engineered the starter since it's going to get a major workout.

[MBZ] MB is making...

2016-12-14 Thread Mountain Man via Mercedes

Someone told me about a new 2017 Nissan/Mercedes.  The Nissan is made
in England and 2017 is US debut but has been in UK and Europe since
2013 and 2016.  The interesting "new" system is the engine which shuts
down whenever the car stops and then starts up again when the break
petal is released.  Is this a "new" system or has this system been
around for a while?  The Nissan car has a Mercedes 7-speed
transmission which sounds interesting also?  The engine on / off seems
nice for emissions but maybe? difficult for quick start from stop?

What one need to understand about these climate control systems is
that each part of it is interdependent upon the other parts. For
instance, if your temp sensor (under that little square grill on the
dash) is inop, your monovalve or AC will not know what to do. Ditto
for the foam rubber tube that draws air from that little square grill
over the temp sensor. That tube is almost always in the process of
disintegration no matter how well the car has been kept. It;s function
of age. Replacement of the tube can be had from Home Depot for under
$2.00. Buy the small diameter pipe insulation for copper pipe, cut it
to length and tape up the slit. The temp sensor is available, and I
don’t remember it being that expensive.

Another source for error is the actual control head for the system. If
there is any corrosion on the wheel, it will definitely have an effect
on the operation of the system. Take it out and check it over. While
you’re in there, it’s a good time to replace the light bulbs.

Another piece of the system is the aux pump. Again, DO NOT buy the MTC
version. It is crap. The pump housing has a habit of coming loose from
the motor section. This allows coolant to spray directly into the
alternator which will potentially give you multiple electrical problem
and leave you scratching your head until you track it down.

Hope this helps.
