[MBZ] Frozen engine

Greetings all, It’s roughly time for my annual MB diesel report and obligatory inquiry.  There are rumors that my SIL will be the new owner of W123 240D.  The family lives in WI which limits my diesel assistance to verbal support over the phone.  But he enjoyed a prior career as a diesel

Ah ok good to know about 040.  It sorta looks single stage but I can't tell.  My wagon is peeling clear coat on the hood. I have to buff up the S550 soon, 040 too, the new heated windshield washer hose arrived yesterday on a slow boat from China so I can get that in, then the rest of the

Never quite understood, maybe someone here with more paint knowledge than us can tell you. I just know that 040 is a single stage color. There are others, maybe arctic white, but I’m not completely sure. You might recall my efforts to recover Tarek’s former S500 that was badly faded/oxidized:

So how does one know if it is single stage or clear coated? I think the options list says something like “paint protection” or something, I’ve never known exactly what that means. I’ll have to look up the details --FT Sent from iFōn > On Jul 24, 2022, at 6:03 PM, dan penoff.com via Mercedes

The single stage paints are the best, as they’re really hard to damage when “correcting”. The roof of the ML550 is really nasty due to it appearing to have bene parked outside under a tree or something. If the weather wasn’t so oppressive in FL I would be hitting it with my high speed polisher

Pretty sure that’s W211s only, and even if it was, that was for the roof itself (laminated glass that has separation of the layers) and likely wouldn’t cover the issue that mine has. I’ll check just to be sure, though. -D > On Jul 24, 2022, at 4:52 PM, Buggered Benzmail via Mercedes >

The headlights are the kind that come on when the car is on. What’s that callEd, DRO or DRL or something? I think they might either be some super bright bulbs as they look kinda blue or LEDs that are causing a fault. But they work. I’ll leave good enough alone. I’ll have to look and see if I

I have come to the conclusion that I’m not going to bear the near $1,000 (parts) expense for the repair of the sunroof in the ML550. While replacing the headliner would be the ideal time to do it, I just don’t see the value for the cost. After I had finished tinkering with it a few weeks ago,
