[MBZ] Low miles '91 500SL on BAT

Interesting auction. I'm not going to guess where this will land. When these first came out with their instant pop up roll bar they were the most amazing technological advance since the slow cooker. Could a no-design sports car possibly look any more boring than in black/black? I think not.

Re: [MBZ] behr thermostat H thermostat

$34 there. They ding you $15 for shipping, and the thermostat is over $3 more to start with. FCP won this one.$34 vs $20. The thermostat for the H looks like it will cost me at least $45, and the 2 short hunks of hose cost that much again. One is 1.25 x 1.75 long and the other is

Re: [MBZ] 87 td AC woes

I forgot to say the last work was done by my mechanic, who does nothing but old mercedes. I assume he flushed it all out and rechecked it appropriately. But I am getting tired of paying people for it to not work. Of course it is a swap to 606 and some of the wrong pressure sensors had been used,

Only one thing that Gerry left out. Did you connect a vacuum pump after you put the NEW receiver drier in and a new expansion valve. Each time the compressor quits all the cleaning has to be done and a solid vacuum pulled. Living in Florida I run the pump for at least an hour just because I

Thanks for all the ideas. There is a thread on pelican about it also. Air in the system, low airflow thru condensor were two ideas. I don't know whether fans were on. I doubt it actually, because it is loud, so Iwould hAve heard it. I will try it again and look. I only used the ac once. My main

The paint on this new green E320 is a bit faded so I was thinking this weekend to go at it with the Poos methods if he could relate the proper procedures to revitalize the shine and get this Benz looking new again. I seem to recall it involves clay bars and buffing using various products in
