I bought one of those about a year ago as well, can’t recall what I needed it for. Same attitude - for what I paid, if it gets the job done I bought it for I’m happy.

Re: [MBZ] Harbor Fright
Yeah I don't know about longevity but the $10 (on sale) angle grinder I bought last year has been flawless. I figured if I got one job done with it, it would be worth what I paid, and it has handled several with no issues so far.

[MBZ] Harbor Fright
Last week when I went on a spree at HF to equip my Flagstaff shop with the requisite tools I wanted/needed to maintain my vehicles, I bought one of their random orbit polishers. I’ve got one at the Florida house that has served me well for some years, so I bought the same, possibly nicer/upgraded version. Went to use it yesterday to polish some scratches out of the ML350’s finish. Hit the switch and was greeted with a shower of sparks out of the motor vents, accompanied by a rather nasty burning insulation odor. I wondered if maybe there was some oil or lube that was burning off since it was new, so I continued to use it for a few minutes without any change in it’s behavior. I unplugged it and set it aside. Took it back to HF today. Told the guy that I didn’t pay for the additional “flamethrower” option, to which he chuckled and directed me to pull another off the shelf to replace the one I was returning.

Re: [MBZ] 190D 2.2 5 speed mileage
I would think the 2007 CDI Bluetec would get close to or over 40 MPG, IF it had the DPF removed and was tuned for OFF ROAD USE ONLY. I would guess those Regen cycles kill mileage.

Re: [MBZ] 190D 2.2 5 speed mileage
IIRC, a 2.2 5-speed manual in tip-top condition should turn in around 42MPG, best-case conditions. Our 2.5 does considerably worse. There are some fuel leaks, and I believe the timing is not optimal. It's also got the wrong rear end ratio. I think we've been getting something like 35MPG, best-case. -- Jim ___ 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
