So the tires on this 240d look practically brand new. They have been 
on the car in the guys shop the whole time. They show no signs of rot 
or cracking. The car feels like it’s going to fly apart though. I put 
the first one on my balancer and it was way out of balance. When it 
rotates I can see what must be the flat spot. Am I crazy and stupid 
for rebalancing them and trying them back on the car to see if they 
straighten out?

What lubricant do I use for the speedometer cable (I was told that was
the source of the howling/screeching I had observed)?
You want a wet or dry graphite lube, or a molybdenum lube,   Lock-eze is 
a good place to start.


How does one tell speedometer screeching versus speedometer cable
screeching?
Replace one and see if it works.  Get a stethoscope with a long probe 
and lay upside down in the passenger seat and probe the cable and head 
while someone else drives?  Or get a couple glue on microphones, stick 
one on the speedo head on a one on the speedo cable casing and see which 
one squeals louder as you drive.  (also requires amp and speakers)

Hard limit is 5 years... setting, driving, or stacked in a warehouse..
doesn't matter they are past their useful life The good news is
they will fail... The bad news is you don't know when.
Buy a new fresh set and be safe... the risk is to high.

Well at some point today that car went back into the pool and listed for 
auction on the 19th.  Sure wish that happened before the other auction 
earlier today. Oh well.

124's and 210's seem to be pretty unloved for as robust as they are. Better for 
us (anyone who does work on their own cars) to find bargains on nice, easily 
repairable cars.

[MBZ] Copart

[Kaleb C. Striplin via Mercedes]

Well the guy selling that 300e I bid on yesterday screwed me out of bidding on 
that E320 that went thru today I needed the fender and bumper off of. I 
countered him back at $250 and he has not responded yet. I can only bid one car 
at a time. So I watched the live auction for a bit today and it’s strange all 
the places people are bidding from. It shows was country or state the bid comes 
from. I saw several from Nigeria, some from Bahamas, some from Mexico. 

I did notice the types of cars I am interested in such as 210s don’t seem to 
bring much bidding action. I saw a 01 E320 top out at $250 which may have been 
the prebid amount. The black one I was interested in started the auction at 
$300 prebid amount and never got any live bids. It was a pure sale so it sold.

Don't try to balance, drive on them.  The heat from use will soften them and

Did you drive around on them for a while as earlier suggested?

You can park a 2003 ML350 on a very busy off-ramp in Lansing Michigan for 10 
hours on a Wednesday without anybody touching it.

Around here, a flat bed costs $75 hook charge and $3.50 per loaded mile.

___
Most newer vehicles are so generic looking that most folks would never 
notice that an ML350 was a Mercedes. I think there is more risk with a 
classic vehicle but I could well be wrong. Not anxious to test my theory.
I have arranged short hauls of vehicles close to home for $50 cash. 
Don't know what it might cost if I was a 100 or more miles out and 
needed to be hauled home.
Looks like a 76 300D weighs about 3400 pounds and it also appears that 
my F150 will pull 8,000 pounds, so I would just need to rent or borrow a 
trailer and I should be able to retrieve it by myself.

[MBZ] Once I have the instrument cluster out ...

[Craig via Mercedes]

What lubricant do I use for the speedometer cable (I was told that was
the source of the howling/screeching I had observed)?

BTW, on our '72 220D/8, I had speedometer screeching. I removed the
speedometer, sent it off to be repaired, installed it when it came back,
and never did anything with the cable.

How does one tell speedometer screeching versus speedometer cable
screeching?

Re: [MBZ] ML350 voltage regulator

[Mitch Haley via Mercedes]

And I forgot to mention that I've got a 2003 W163. 
That bit you posted seemed to say that the part I found is for some W164, and 
for 2003 S class. 

If the ML was the same as the '99 E320 I'd just pull the practically new brush 
pack out of it and see if it fixed the ML, but apparently the '99 has a smaller 
alternator.

opening the hood and pushing on the red tab. I have the part but have

However, I am concerned that it is becoming too old for my intended 
purpose. It appears that parts are becoming harder to get and I don't 
want to feel that I cannot readily take it any distance from home. I 
don't want to have to hire a flat-deck tow truck to haul it home if I

Re: [MBZ] More copart

[Mitch Haley via Mercedes]

I don't know who sells donation cars at Lansing, but they're always on approval 
and they have lofty expectations of their Mercedes. First one I saw was a W140 
S320, hit so hard in the rear that the back was bent down and it was buckled 
above the back wheels. I was stunned when the bidding hit $900, and even more 
stunned when I saw it at the next week's auction. 
They should have jumped all over that $900 bid. 
Furthermore, since the donation people don't have a dealer's license and they 
don't want to retitle the cars in the name of the charity before they sell 
them, all the donation cars are 'dealer only' bidding, so the idiots that bid 
on that S320 all had dealer licenses. 
Mitch.
