Re: [MBZ] It’s not a bus but
I was noting that the trailer looks a bit cobbled together with the original rounded Scamp body having grown a baby bulb that would be the sleeping spot. Really putting a bunch of downward thrust on the hitch. Maybe it was meant for a taller clearance truck? Looks interesting and cool.

Re: [MBZ] 240D 4-speed
Welcome back John. Could be bushings, but hard to say. I locked up a manny trying to install fresh bushings. Should have been more careful about not letting the transmission end arms move.

Re: [MBZ] Price Of Fuel
Sure you can! Contact all manner of eco friendly municipalities or property owners and haul the kids on over. SEA loves to contract for goat removal of offending herbaceous matter. The bus arrives, the area is fenced off and for the next few days goat poop is produced. Then the kids get back on the bus and head off to greener pastures.

[MBZ] RIP Golf TDI
I was heading home from the grocery today after work and managed to miss a big black pickup flying down the road a couple hundred feet from home and got hit on the right front of the Golf. Ripped the bumper off, tore off the frame stub,and so forth. Can't imagine it's not totalled, and I was hoping to keep this one til I retire in a couple years. Bad intersection, usually a crash every couple weeks there, and the county commissioners absolutely refuse to put up a four way stop. Intersection is angled just enough the door post completely blocks vision, I've had close calls there for years and always look several times. Grinds my grits. Fortunately all the damage to the big hopped up truck appears to be a tire and rim, nothing else touched the car. What a Monday, and since I had a migraine this morning I almost stayed home The only good news is that I found two replacements on Facebook at first look, another silver 2004 Golf with 180K and a Jetta with 316k, although that might not be such a good deal. I'm driving the limping 88 TE instead, should have spent some time this winter putting links in the rear, fixing the exhaust, and getting the FI straightened out!

[MBZ] 240D 4-speed
I have a ’83 240D 4-speed manual, 300+++ miles. The shifter is loose and occasionally feels completely disconnected and will not go into any gear. It also locked up in neutral and would not move in any direction. In between these episodes it works normally. What is going on? Thank You.

[MBZ] 240D Shifter
Hello list, I have a ’83 240D with a 4 speed manual. The car has about 330K miles. I was driving today and when shifting into 2nd gear the shifter got stuck in neutral position and would not move in any direction, I pulled and pushed the lever and it freed up and I continued on everything working fine. I headed home and on a hill had to downshift into first and the shifter suddenly felt like it was not connected to anything. The car was still in 3rd gear but I couldn’t start out in 3rd and it stalled. I started the engine and the shifter and transmission worked normally the rest of the way home. The problem is intermittent, from normal to stuck to normal to disconnected to normal. Has anyone ever experienced this on a 240D 4-speed? Any ideas as to what it could be?

[MBZ] OT Chewy is a great company, fedexsux
FedExSux f’d up my Chewy delivery last week, said it was left in front of my garage (which makes no sense, so the driver either stole it or someone else got 2 big bags of food), nowhere to be found. Called them, totally useless. Called Chewy They were going to see if they could light a fire under fedexsux;alas, no product after 2 more days Called Chewy a second time yesterday they shipped out another order, fedex said it was on it’s way this morning, just got a message saying they couldn’t find my house. Of course this is probably the 20th (and 21st) order that the previous 19 had been successfully delivered with no issues. Called Chewy again (and you always get a very nice human on about the third ring) who was once again going to try to sort it out AND issued a $25 refund on my order to cover buying a bag of poodle food. Chewy is a great company to deal with, fedexsux needs Wilson and Tom Hanks to help get stuff delivered. --FT Sent from iPhone ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

Re: [MBZ] Price Of Fuel
You want some real thorns? New Zealand has gorse fields that are literally impenetrable. "Its introduction resulted in large spreading infestations over hundreds of hectares, peaking in the late 1940s. It was recognised as a threat as early as 1861 where the Provincial Council in Nelson passing an act to prevent the planting of gorse hedges. The seed can lie dormant on the ground for up to 50 years, germinating quickly after the adults have been removed. Unfortunately, most methods of removing adult gorse plants, such as burning or bulldozing them, create the ideal conditions for the gorse seeds to germinate and total eradication with current technology seems impossible. Gorse is now one of the most widely recognised agricultural weeds in New Zealand. It covers 700,000 hectares (1,700,000 acres) at varying densities — a total of 5% of the land area of New Zealand when excluding existing indigenous forest, vegetated sub-alpine and alpine areas.Gorse became New Zealand's most costly weed to control, an estimated $22 million per annum by the early 1980s." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gorse_in_New_Zealand On Mon, May 10, 2021 at 2:24 PM Curt Raymond wrote: > Using Baltimore as a benchmark it's nearly 800 miles from the great > northern estate in Caribou. > > We've got some pretty great thorns up north too.

Re: [MBZ] Price Of Fuel
*Seems to me, it's time to employ people to do things, instead of putting them out of work with machines that can be hacked or crash.* Great suggestion, Grant.

Re: [MBZ] A gratifying project this afternoon
If you've never had your tow vehicle pushed sideways by the trailer you might not fully appreciate the need for trailer brakes.

Re: [MBZ] A gratifying project this afternoon
THis is the one I ordered, same as what they list on their website. There appear to be a bunch that function or less the same. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0757S92Y9 Then I got this to plug in the 7-blade connector https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001EP0HPI It plugs into the 4-pin connector on the light hookup. Looks like it will also hook up to a trailer brake controller if I want to install one. My trailer has brakes but I never hooked up the controller I got. I suppose I should finish that project at some point... and maybe get one for the ML too. --FT On 5/10/21 10:14 AM, Mitch Haley via Mercedes wrote: On 2021-05-10 08:33, Floyd Thursby via Mercedes wrote: Their hitch price was in line with the market but the wiring kit was insanely overpriced I think the video I used when I installed the wiring was theirs.
