Not successfully. I don't use the FB application on my phone, I use the mobile

Actually many of the cities I search had no new ads at all for MB in the last 
day or 1. The larger cities might have had a dozen if that.

Re: [MBZ] Front ball joints

[Michael Esh via Mercedes]

I bought and and installed Lemforder ball joints in my 1983 240D a couple of 
weeks ago. I took the arms off the car, clamped them in my big vice and used 
the generic press from local Advance Auto. I used 1/2 breaker bar and 3’ pipe. 
It was strenuous but they both went in straight and true.

Re: [MBZ] This is disturbing

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

Those are the awful 5 mph government mandated bumpers, I believe.. yuck.

And I think that 300SEL 6.3 is a very nice car, and priced reasonably if all is 
well. Definitely something you want to flip, as maintenance and upkeep would 
eat you alive.

The bumpers look like those continental kit things you used to see

I have a pair of 1242401917 Lemförder engine mounts, new in the box, that I 
ordered by mistake and the supplier won’t take them back. So much for being 
honest, I guess…

While the are Lemförder mounts, they are made in China. I don’t know what that 
means, if it’s good or bad, but I’ve used these before without issues and the 
ones that are in service are still doing well after two years.

First $50.00 for the pair shipped to anywhere in the CONUS.

Re: [MBZ] W116 brake wear indicator

[Allan Streib via Mercedes]

Actually I think you and Kaleb are right. I thought the FASTEN BELTS
light was working properly but I just checked and it it not.

The BRAKE light works with the parking brake as it should. The brake
wear light, which looks like (O), comes on momentarily when the key is
first turned on. The FASTEN BELTS light does not come on at all, unless
I step moderately hard on the brakes.

So my guess is -- a prior owner has switched the bulb holders, and
possibly also bypassed the seat belt switch.

Yes, I think that could go pretty high.  Very low miles, great color and

Yes. What's weird is that it also is working normally as the FASTEN

No. Is this light in the cluster? Somebody probably inserted the wrong bulb 
holder in the wrong hole

[MBZ] W116 brake wear indicator

[Allan Streib via Mercedes]

Does the W116 use the FASTEN BELTS light as a brake wear alert?

In my '79 300SD I am seeing that light come on with moderate/heavy
braking (not light braking).

The light pulsates at first and then becomes steady as brake pressure
increases.

Re: [MBZ] 129

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

Doubt it.

As an example, look at the 107s.  You can still pick up a decent 107 for under 
$10k. The community’s response to the R129s has always been “meh” since they 
came out. Using the “later is always better” theory, the 98-99 models would be 
some of the most desirable, but in reality, stick to 97 and later and you avoid 
all the issues the earlier models had as well as gain a better transmission and 
redesigned and more reliable ACC system.

Again, 97 and later is really all one needs to know. There are a couple of 
outliers in the “anniversary” and "Silver Arrow” models, but they’re relatively 
rare and priced accordingly.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. I’m not sure if it’s just this car 
or the model itself, but my 97 R129 has been by far the most reliable and 
trouble free Mercedes I’ve owned after my 1982 300SD.
