Re: [MBZ] Inop battery charger

Mine don't.  Not much to go wrong, but probably easy to fix too.
First thing I'd check is the switch, then the cord.

Re: [MBZ] OT How far can a Nissan Murano go with no coolant?

[dan penoff.com via Mercedes]

I have a sister in law who is on their second Murano. Although I don’t know 
what year their first one was, I do know they put several hundred thousand 
miles on it without issues.

Don’t know a thing about them, other than the weird convertible variant they 
came out with was one of the fugliest things I think I’ve ever seen.

A friend’s wife has a murano. They are known for premature engine failure- they 
burn excessive amounts of oil. He had the engine rebuilt. Andrew-  this is Gaël

Re: [MBZ] OT How far can a Nissan Murano go with no coolant?

[mitch--- via Mercedes]

Couple weeks ago I see a Challenger in the mirror trailing a cloud.
Not a vision obscuring cloud, but still one that I noticed while it was 
a good bit behind me. Killed the fan and put the heater in recirc to 
lessen the burning oil smell as it went by. Was surprised to find that 
the smoke didn't seem to be coming from the exhaust outlets, and that it 
smelled exactly like a cutoff wheel cutting steel, not like burning oil.


Couple miles later, I see...a Challenger parked on the shoulder.

A story from the 1980s:
Car on the ramp in front of me has a wildly wobbling driver's front 
wheel.
Was going to pull up alongside her and try to communicate once we hit 
the freeway, but I was going 65 in a 55 and she outran me. She didn't 
make it a mile on the freeway.
Wheel went rolling down the median, and the brake disk threw sparks on 
the concrete every time she touched the brakes. It seemed to stay just 
above the road as long as she didn't brake. IIRC it was FWD, like a 
Citation or something. No, I didn't stop.

Re: [MBZ] OT How far can a Nissan Murano go with no coolant?

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

One of my high school English teachers told the story about how when she got 
her first car nobody ever told her she needed to check the oil so she drove it 
until it ran out of oil and the engine locked up. Her second car she checked 
the oil religiously and added every time it needed but nobody ever told her she 
needed to CHANGE the oil so that one locked up too.

I asked her "Why didn't you ever read the manual?" She didn't like that...

The comments on the product are very good too.  Looks like a good 
polishing improves the performance of the stuff, probably using a power 
buffer thing and some polishing stuff like this


https://www.chemicalguys.com/torq10fx-random-orbital-polisher-kit-one-step-scratch-and-swirl-remover-kit-8-items/BUF613.html

HF have some kits of these machines/pads for a reasonable price, the CG 
polishing products seem to be pretty good for getting out swirls and 
scratches before applying the wax.  There are probably lots of other 
vendors too with stuff you can probably get at FLAPS or wherever.


It's getting to be that time of year!

For that matter, if AZ Bob would ever come up to see me at Chez Penoff West I 
could demonstrate the stuff. I’ll be doing a major league Martha’ing on the 
ML350 in June, I’m sure.

Re: [MBZ] Ceramic coating

[Randy Bennell via Mercedes]

Sort of like with oil - "any wax is better than no wax"
And again, sort of like oil - it depends upon how often you want to 
change it - meaning cheap wax doesn't last as long so you have to keep 
applying it.
The wipe on liquid Turtle Wax gives a bit of shine but doesn't really 
offer much protection for very long.

Search for it on the Island of Large Wimmen. A bottle that will last you easily 
a couple of years (or more) is around $20. Easy to apply and remove, stands up 
well in our climates.

I liken it to snake oil in the sense that you can probably achieve the

some benefits, but I take exception to the term ?ceramic coating? as I see
no way you could actually put a ceramic coating on your car. Whatever.

I wax twice a year with Collinite Liquid Insulator #845 wax. Very good
stuff, holds up extremely well in our environment. Was originally designed
for waxing high voltage insulators on transmission lines.

Looks good. However, reading their FAQs brings up one of the reasons why I 
would never put “coatings” of any kind on my car. It’s near impossible to 
(completely) remove. If you need paint or bodywork done, stuff like this will 
wreak havoc on the shop’s ability to have a clean surface to work on. Wax is 
easy to remove.

That’s kinda my sense of it too. A good polish and wax every now and then

Re: [MBZ] Ceramic coating

[David Bruckmann via Mercedes]

I've been weighing doing this to my original-paint W108 (Horizontblau) and
W115 (Kaledoniengrün) and found this chap, "Scott HD", very helpful in
testing (YouTube), and providing results for tests (Google sheet), of LOTS
of products. There are VAST differences between products, or even within
the same product when formulations change. For example:

The 28-way Chinese Products test:

and the 38-way Ceramic test:

I liken it to snake oil in the sense that you can probably achieve the same 
thing waxing with good quality wax on a regular basis. I’m sure it has some 
benefits, but I take exception to the term “ceramic coating” as I see no way 
you could actually put a ceramic coating on your car. Whatever.

I wax twice a year with Collinite Liquid Insulator #845 wax. Very good stuff, 
holds up extremely well in our environment. Was originally designed for waxing 
high voltage insulators on transmission lines.

[MBZ] Ceramic coating

Has anyone ever used this stuff?  It seems expensive for a little bottle but it 
looks like it has some benefits to preserving paint. I don’t know how long it 
lasts.

Re: [MBZ] OT: 2022 as a year for finishing up old projects

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

Good point. 

I don't think that's the issue here, it will run wide open if I give it a 
little choke to get it going. It'll idle with no choke but falls on its face in 
the transition. I think it needs the low needle opened a little...

Also check the exhaust for obstructions, there is usually a spark/flame

I nearly killed myself trying  to start a weed eater my brother gave me, would 
start and run a few seconds and then stop.  Cleaned the carb, fresh fuel, check 
the spark, etc.

Turned out to be a mud dauber nest in the exhaust, which on that weedeater is 
exactly the side they like.  Poked that out and it ran like a champ….

[MBZ] 1981 Mercedes-Benz Mercedes-Benz 300 D 300 cd,$3,500

[Floyd Thursby via Mercedes]

Very very rare 300cd coupe, the legendary engine that is in amazing 
shape, no smoke and starts every time, great condition. Started as a 
project, I wanted to restore fully and re- paint. We now have a baby and 
I don’t have time to work on this car. This is a Colorado car that I 
brought to NC 4 month ago and still have clean Colorado title. No rust. 
I have spare set of doors. Car runs great, mechanically sound. The 
interior is somewhat beat up, the seats could use new covers, but still 
in good shape.
