Re: [MBZ] Buying a battery for a diesel

[G Mann via Mercedes]

I own a 4 lb sledge hammer and an anvil which provides proper adjustment to
any device which tries to spy on me.. Seems to work rather well...
completely cures all it's issues, and provides some rather satisfying venue
for any frustration caused by the device having invaded my privacy.

Re: [MBZ] Fwd: 1981 mercedes 300d diesel clean

[Curley McLain via Mercedes]

I don't think it is a euro.  Crank windows are rare, but it has acc, MB 
tex, and what appears to be usa bumpers.  the euro lights are easy to 
install.  The VIN should tell for sure if it is MBNA or yuro.  Usual 
things. look for rust, condition of suspension, drive train, steering 
linkages, etc.


THe tail lights are not yellowed.   It appears the suspension bushings 
are in good condition, or higher than factory.  Either indicates the 
rubber is not rotten.


Happy Hunting!

[MBZ] Damaged e320

[Kaleb C. Striplin via Mercedes]

So the damage estimates for the little dent in the fender on the e320 that I 
can probably pop out myself comes in at a little shy of $2500. Let’s see what 
their insurance offers. They have farm bureau. Surely they will be easier to 
deal with than State Farm.

Our former provider of all manner of parts and pieces to keep our 
classic MB rolling has been heard from.


Yep, Q.  The magician who can procure unobtainium parts out of thin air.

I got an email from him saying he is moving and other than that, all is 
well.


Worldpac agrees with him.   Its good to hear from him and he sez HI to 
all  y'all.

Re: [MBZ] Fwd: 1981 mercedes 300d diesel clean

[Curley McLain via Mercedes]

Looks like a buy to me.   I can't remember if 81 is NA or turbo..  Since 
the trunk sez Diesel, I think it is NA, unless engine or badge was 
changed.   Yuro lights and documentation are nice bonuses.

For that year, yes. A column shift (like mine) was also available. The earlier

Re: [MBZ] Internet and car security. Was: Buying a battery for a diesel

[Meade Dillon via Mercedes]

Prices are all over the place for a tuner, I see them starting for about
$20 and going up over $100.  Get a cheap monitor somewhere with a VGA input
or HDMI input, would probably work just fine for a  POTV (plain old TV).
No smarts - no spyware, but a remote control so you don't have to get up
off the couch to change channels.

One of the cheap cheap tuners had a USB receptacle for storage device and
DVR capability, so you can record Dr Phil and watch at your leisure.

Naples is probably one of the best used Mercedes markets there is for really, 
really nice examples. The independent dealers down there have made a cottage

 Sure, the "gear" lever is right by my elbow, but remember top speed is 12mph, 
even if it sticks its no great shakes. The pedal actually has a place to put

One would think that the fellow placing the ad could tell the difference 
between an automatic and a manual transmission.


Given that observation, if it truly is a manual transmission, suggest to 
him that a manual in that model is likely worth nothing and thus the car 
is worth $50 but would be worth the $500 if only it was an automatic.


Can't hurt to try and see how dumb he is.

[MBZ] Stupid groomer

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

Big snowstorm due here this weekend so we went to prep the groomers today. I 
was surprised, the ASV didn't want to start even though it was only about 25F. 
I plugged it in and it started after about 15 minutes on the heat but sounded 
kind of weird and the accelerator linkage was sticky, it'd stick in most any 
position you put it in. That weird, I lubricated it a few months ago. This 
thing has a huge amount of moving parts to connect the go pedal up front to the 
IP in the rear AND the hydraulic pump that makes it move, the go pedal 
essentially pushes a hydraulic lever and pulls the IP at the same time which 
makes for a lot of pedal pressure.
Anyway I shut 'er down and determined it wasn't the pedal, then strangely the 
problem went away but the dang thing WOULD NOT restart. Crap.
I left it plugged in and we went to run parts and have lunch, an hour later I 
put the heat gun on the fuel filter until it was warm to the touch, the engine 
started with just a touch on the key...
Guess there was a little water in the fuel line, could a little ice jam up the 
IP internally? We added some Power Service and I ran it for awhile, the fuel 
filter gets quite warm in operation so the engine must recirculate warm fuel to 
it.
We'll know more, Monday its supposed to be wicked cold, like 5F for the high, 
I'll plug in first thing in the morning...

I found one 65" at Costco that wasn't "Smart". 
It was only $3149 or so.

Re: [MBZ] Cheap Resto mod 450 SL C on BAT

[Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes]

Interesting BAT comment from an SL C connoisseur:
iMikelikesMint 47 

*As an owner of a 1980 450SLC, I like to comment when one comes available
on BaT. The state of the SLC market reflects the cost of restoring one to a
decent condition. You can define “decent” according to your needs. I
checked and there are probably 25 450SLCs available for sale on various
platforms like Craigslist, Hemmings, and eBay. I would guess that the
majority of the offerings have as much wrong with them like this one. Its
the state of the SLC market. They were unloved and abused leaving a very
small percentage of the 61,000 manufactured in excellent condition.
Recently, a 1-owner SLC sold on BaT for $26,000 (a steal) and another sold
or remained unsold with a bid around $4,000. With all that said, know what
you are getting into if you want this one badly because it is more than
just sourcing a set of Bundts, a Becker Mexico and a steering wheel.*

Not the case for my Android. I don't have a mobile data plan (Voice/SMS
only) and I can still use speech-to-text to avoid typing in text
messages, even when I'm not in range and connected to WiFi.

It's slower and not as accurate as when I'm online, but it does work
fairly well.

Re: [MBZ] Internet and car security. Was: Buying a battery for a diesel

[OK Don via Mercedes]

Our older Panasonic flat screen is a "semi" smart TV - it needs a dongle
plugged into it for internet connection. We feed it via the HDMI port from
a dedicated old laptop that is internet connected. AFASK, the HDMI
connection is one way from the laptop to the TV. Thus, the PC acts as a
buffer between the TV and the world (not that the laptop doesn't have it's
own privacy issues . . .).

[MBZ] Internet and car security. Was: Buying a battery for a diesel

[archer75--- via Mercedes]

So if the TV is not listed as "smart", then can we assume that it will not be 
collecting data?
Thanks,
Gerry

P.S. Another security concern is the ability of police and others with the 
necessary equipment to access the information stored in cars according to one 
source.

There should be ways to prevent the collection of data in modern cars, but I 
haven't been able to find any.

If I could still keep my '83 Mercedes running, or if there was a reasonable 
Merz mechanic locally, I'd still be driving them instead of the "modern" car 
I'm driving.

Re: [MBZ] Huge price drop! $915!

[Buggered Benzmail via Mercedes]

I did a drive-by on this car. Other than the rear crunch (trunk lid popped up 
an inch or two, RR taillight broken, I guess the bumper is pushed in but hard 
to tell from afar) the car looked quite nice, body is nice, didn’t hobble out 
to look at interior. Too bad for it but a beater driver... maybe at $500?

Re: [MBZ] 450SE on BAT

Agreed.   W113 in 1964 W114/W115  (The /8) 1968 for Mercedes and then 
the W116 in 1972.


Although the W113 shared front suspension components with the 110/111. 
But style wise, it was a revolution for MB.


For BMW, the /5 series in 1970

It _refused_ to function until you'd registered it, using a credit card, even

We don't have anything voice-activated in the house, likely won't, and Siri is

Re: [MBZ] Buying a battery for a diesel

Well, think about how low is the cost of inserting a cell phone into a
smart TV, and then maker pays for the data connection so it can spy and
report and you won't know it.  How much you want to bet that the TV data
sellers haven't thought about that?  I'll bet they can negotiate some
really low monthly fee, like $5 per TV per month buy only when the service
is used (pay as you go), and then program the TV to send its data once
every six months or once every year.  They get your data, delayed, for a
very low cost, no matter what you try.

Oh I also forgot about your new car doing the same thing.  Pretty soon even
the refrigerators will be spying on us.  Who wants to buy a "smart" home,
where even the light bulbs are connected to WiFi?

"Those who would trade Liberty for security deserve neither."  should
become "Those who would trade privacy for convenience ... "
