Bang it out and bondo and paint, or weld in a new piece and paint it. Or just 
drive it as-is.

Re: [MBZ] GL towing/LED lights

2022-04-24 Thread Buggered Benzmail via Mercedes
I don’t know how that system works but on the 163 the light controller I 
installed senses the vehicle lights then powers the trailer lights 
independently with separate power. It doesn’t care what is being powered.

[MBZ] W210 steering rack

2022-04-24 Thread Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes
I suspect its probably about time to replace the steering rack on the 
99.  Last time I had it on the rack I thought it looked like it might be 
leaking a bit.  Couple of weeks I had to add some fluid then had to add 
some more the week after.  Looks like it is leaving some spots on the 
driveway.  It has about 221k on it.

[MBZ] GL towing/LED lights

2022-04-24 Thread Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes
I have always heard and read that the 164 does NOT like LED trailer 
lights and either they wont work or give errors on the cluster.  You 
have to install resistors in the harness or something.  This Uhaul 
trailer had LED lights and it worked fine with no error messages.

Marvel to the spectacle of a driverless Tesla as it rolls across an

So far, there are no details about who owns the self-crashing vehicle, 
or if the Tesla owner also owns the jet, which is valued at $2 million.
