Re: [MBZ] How to get hood open


If the hood latch cannot be released by pulling on the cable, perhaps you can 
put a borescope type camera on a rod and shove it up from underneath and trip 
the latch? (my plan for my 210 that had a cable come loose at the latch)

But first I'd try wiggling the hood every which way while pulling on the 
release cable from inside the car in the hope it's still attached to the latch.

Re: [MBZ] How to get hood open

If that’s the cade and you’re not having any luck dinking around with the 
cable, I would drop the bumper.  Takes all of about 5 minutes to do.  It will 
give you a major amount of room to work in and maybe even direct access to the 
latch.

Very tongue in cheek suggestion:

Take the jeep to drive... give the damaged car to child. In short time,
after never checking the oil or water and driving into things.. which is by
now, a demonstrated talent, he will complete the process of
totaling the car, or the rod that lets go after running without oil will
blow through the hood and force it open.. The municipality he abandons the
car in will impound it and sell it off for scrap... while he walks where
ever he needs to go.

Re: [MBZ] How to get hood open

2017-09-12 Thread Kaleb C. Striplin via Mercedes

Maybe I can hook a strap or something on the bottom and pull it out and 
maybe it will release.  The inside release has popped for sure and the 
drivers side is loose the other side is stuck.

Assuming that the cable didn't get knocked off the latch, how about shaking the 
hood loose while holding the hood release lever back? (yes, takes two people, 
or tying the release lever to the steering wheel or something)

Re: [MBZ] Crack Pipe Seller

Not that I know of, but they are very specific in the application asking if the 
vehicle has ever been offered for sale anywhere else before you’ve offered it 
to them, and they want details as to where, when and for how much.  Since 
they’re that concerned about it, I suspect they’ll check to be sure.

Craigslist is not indexed by search engines or the Wayback Machine.  They have 
agreements with all the big search engines to not index their sites.  That’s 
why there are third party search engines for searching CL, as you’ve got to go 
out and crawl it yourself.

There is a paid search engine available to LEO folks that allows them to search 
old CL ads.

BAT often puts cars of interest at the bottom of their daily postings that are 
links to CL ads.  They are not BAT auctions, nor is BAT endorsing them.  It’s 
more of a service to BAT readers that I think they do to fill some lines.  
There is usually something unique or unusual about the CL ads, too.  They are 
submissions from BAT readers, I might add - BAT doesn’t go looking for them.

Maybe the wayback machine would have the information.

I recall, however, seeing BAT mentioning something to the effect that,

Re: [MBZ] OT cheap cordless drill

2017-09-12 Thread OK Don via Mercedes

I have the little brother - the 12v Bosch drill - and love it so much that
I got a second one so I don't have to run between the hangar and the
garage, it was always in the other building from where I was working. I
think the second one was on "sale" at Lowes for $99 at the time. It has two
speeds - fast for drilling, slow for driving big, long screws.
There are other brands that look identical, but the batteries don't
interchange.

You'd like the novel Enemies Foreign And Domestic.
A Special Forces veteran was murdered and framed as an inept terrorist bomber. 
Another SF vet didn't much care for that, so he demonstrated his displeasure by 
showing them a real terrorist bombing. He blew up the Woodrow Wilson Bridge,

 We have a Dewalt at work and its really nice. When the battery in my Craftsman 
19v finally dies I'll probably go with one of those.That said the second 
battery started dying 2 or 3 years ago probably from lack of use but the "good" 
one is still fine. I've had the thing nearly 10 years, nothing to complain 
about other than the ni-cad batteries are heavy.

[MBZ] MPGs after Vacuum Fix 91 300D

2017-09-12 Thread Larry Turner via Mercedes

Had the fuel shut off valve replaced recently and over the past couple 
of months following the shut off valve failing (it was a slow process) 
we had seen our fuel mileage go down with every fill up.  Filled up 
today and the mpg is back to 32 and change - where it used to be all the 
time/  The mileage had gone into the mid/upper 20s since the vac leak 
started.   This is the only thing I can think of that has changed which 
might change the mileage.


It shows how important it is to keep after the leaks when they are small.

Re: [MBZ] Crack Pipe Seller

While the build itself might be decent, all the little niggling details that 
they have either ignored or failed to address reeks of shoddy work, IMHO.  I 
would liken it to the CL seller who says the AC “just needs a can of 
refrigerant” to be 100%.

Their constant reference to the cost of parts (“expensive”) is preaching to the 
choir if someone knows what they were trying to achieve and smacks of a seller 
who is grossly upside down on a car and trying to get out from under it with 
the least possible loss.

Come on, who would go to the trouble of retrofitting a late model shifter and 
brake pedal assembly and not take five minutes to troubleshoot bad glow plugs, 
or lube a sunroof?  Lazy and sloppy.

The car will not be on BAT now that they’ve listed it on CL.  BAT doesn’t like 
to be “Plan B”, and rarely makes an exception to this from what I’ve seen.

Re: [MBZ] 100 miles north of Tampa

Well I can get about 15 amps out of a direct connection right at 
the controller but that won't do much for the house since it's 
too far away.


It's a safety and interface thing. The controller has to take the 
pulse of the net so to speak in order to synchronize the 60 cycle 
waves or else everything can get really interesting. The safety 
part is of course in order to avoid any backfeed into the net to 
keep from potentially killing anyone.


For it to work as a true backup I need to add some batteries and 
another controller that will cut the line to the net and leave 
just the inverters from the batteries tied in. I have been 
looking at that since the newer second gen Tesla battery backup 
system that they are now selling may finally be out. I'm having 
trouble getting info on that from Tesla. It is supposed to be 
much improved over the first gen which was available when I 
originally did the system while at the same time is a bit less 
expensive. I may be able to get a decent system there for around 
$5-7000.

keep the dog and wife away from the area (yeah just about the
same amount of common sense in both) just in case the power comes
back and doesn't blow the knife at the transformer.

Not much. A soft hit on the edge of the roof, not too bad and
easy to fix and a tree that took out the power line at the house
end. Just pulled it right out of the connection and broke the
strain relief. Now to wait for Clay electric to come and hook it
back up. probably some time next month since I'm probably on the
end of the list especially with no way to tell them that the line
is disconnected.

I was wondering about you, Manfred. No damage on your place?

Looks like so far you have the worst damage of all the people on
the list down here. Hope it's as light as it looks.

We are into the tornado segment around here in West Citrus County with the winds going every which way and some still quite forceful.
I wandered around the neighborhood and found no damage other than a lot of light debris from the trees of which we have too many.

Speaking of trees, of which I have "way" too many, one fell on the roof of my
house so I may be the only one on the list which has reportable hurricane damage. As soon
as the drizzle lets up, I'll take some pictures and send them to the group.
If you have to have a tree fall on your house, this is the way to do it. It landed
on its branches on the garage section of the house roof and there doesn't appear to
be any damage to the roof unless some rafters might have been broken. It's now
resting on the branches which are resting on the garage roof. The trunk is about
8-10" in diameter.
More later.

They boarded up a couple days ago, and it looked like they took some down

I rode my bike over to the beach this morning to check out the action,
tide is up but not a lot of churning at this point. Went back over just

little while ago at high tide to see what was going on, it is probably
about 2ft higher than usual, though today and tomorrow are high
astronomical tides. Winds tomorrow will be onshore at 44-47 at high tide
time, so there will likely be more of a surge than now. Met a family

there

from Tampa who had bailed out and were staying here, Bubba had his bass
boat behind his bigass truck, so I am comforted that the Redneck Navy has
arrived! But got me thinking about everyone else down that way and

hoping

y'all stay safe.

I think we will be OK, certainly better than the models were suggesting 3
days ago when they were showing landfall basically right over my vast
estate. We'll get some wind and rain and a bit of flooding but we should
be fine. I did board up the house and garage, so that was a chore, and
have a few things to move around and tie down. Power company is not

going

to shut power off like last October, so unless a limb or tree takes down

wires I will have lights and refrigeration. Generator is waiting though,
so ready for any eventuality.

Y'all stay dry and safe!

Re: [MBZ] 100 miles north of Tampa

Manfred,

Isn’t there a way you can utilize your solar array for power?  If not it seems 
sort of silly that it’s there making electrons yet you can’t put them to use…

Just curious…

Re: [MBZ] 100 miles north of Tampa

While the meter on the dome is electronic, I don't think it is a 
smart meter. The meter on the house where the line was ripped 
lose is still an old analog type meter so no phone home from it 
for sure.

[MBZ] Projected path of Jose


...As for Joses forecast, hurricanes in this part of the Atlantic often race 
out to sea and into oblivion, but that won't be the case with Jose.

Calling it an "odd forecast track," the National Hurricane Center said that 
Jose should make a small clockwise loop over the open waters of the Atlantic 
for the next three days. This is due, the center said, to an area of high 
pressure that will move around the hurricane over the next several days. 

Long-range models suggest that the strengthening high-pressure area will then 
force the hurricane to move west-northwest toward the East Coast.
