[MBZ] If you have some skills…I could see this car running for a long time.

No more than $1K with those issues, and that's only because the car looks 
pretty clean.

I've noticed that our rainfall patterns are different now. The total
rainfall is the comfortably normal, but there are fewer storms that are
more violent. Today in a 20-minute period we received an inch of rain as
the front passed through. Trees and limbs down all over the place.
Washington DC area

Run water through the pipe to the appliance with the largest valve and
the bread will be ripped apart and the pieces will come out with the

[MBZ] OT: I hate plumbing

I really, really, really hate plumbing.

Need to install a T fitting on a line in the basement. Shut the water off, 
opened the upstairs taps, opened the downstairs outside faucet (lowest drain 
point in the house). Cut the pipe for the fitting, waiting like an hour now and 
it's still dripping. PVC so it needs to be dry to cement it.

The back wheel pads wear much more slowly. If you check them when you do the

You are right. Now that I think about it I don’t  think they put sensors on the

[MBZ] OT: I hates meeses to pieces

2023-07-29 Thread Curt Raymond via Mercedes
You might remember the 1989 Tucker Sno-Cat that I run for the snowmobile club. 
I got a friend to let me park it in his RV garage for the summer. Today I went 
over to do some sadly neglected maintenance on it.

The last couple winters I've run it I fought mouse nests. The guy who ran it 
before me apparently didn't care. Every time you turn on the heater it would 
blow acorns and pine needles and mouse poop around the cab, no fun.

So I pulled the heater fan out and found: 
https://photos.app.goo.gl/exp3aKd6fCNBbX7u9
You can just see the heater core. Whoever designed that heater box needs a trip 
to remedial design school. I can't for the life of me figure out how you're 
supposed to clean it. I think step one is to remove the whole box from the cab. 
Terrible design.

https://photos.app.goo.gl/9RFEYGWeFHYm12pm8
The big circle is one of the ducts out of the heater box, to the right of that 
is a tunnel under the box which is the fresh air intake. It was absolutely 
crammed with mouse next. I spent a lot of time jamming the shopvac hose down 
there. Then I had to put a socket extension in to try to pull stuff from under 
the heater core to where I could pull it out with the vac. The heater box 
assembly should be hinged so you could get in there...

Anyhow I got it mostly cleaned, the fan moves 100x more air now than it did 
before, imagine that. This machine was a real foot freezer, hopefully it'll be 
more fun to run.

I also removed a broken track cleat. I'd mostly repaired one to replace it but 
had forgotten to weld in a stud that had broken off so I'll do that and repair 
the broken one at the same time. Tucker cleats are pretty fragile and 
apparently break regularly. This is my first, I guess a milestone.

On the positive side the machine fired up with just a touch of the key. The

I love the interior.  The issues, esp the AC demand a lower price

SL500 Mercedes. Runs real good. Needs a inside rear view mirror and the 
drivers side mirror needs to be replaced. A/C has a refrigerant leak. 
This is a “Hard Top” Convertible. Has a stand for the hard top. Rag top 
stays inside until raised. Real fun car to drive with the 5.0 305hp 
motor. $7500.00 or would consider a pick up in trade. Messenger men.

Good chance the title is held by a bank or title loan company, and you'll
have hell to pay getting them to release it... If the rightful owner is
giving it away and simply lost the title, have him apply for a replacement
and sign it over to you..
Call up a tow company with flatbed rollback to snatch it for you.. easy
peasy.. done and dusted... Looks good from exterior shots..

[MBZ] The cheapening of Mercedes

2023-07-29 Thread Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes
Used to be you had 2 brake pad wear sensors per wheel, one for each pad. Later 
they went with 1 sensor per wheel. On the 210 there is 1 sensor for each front 
wheel and 1 sensor on one of the back wheels. Now with the 211 I see there is 
one sensor on the RF wheel and one on the LR wheel. So we went from 8 sensors 
to 2. This must have saved MB a coupe of dollars per car. It’s actually kind of 
pathetic how newer model MBs are about the same mechanically as any other car 
on the road. Nothing makes them special anymore.

Picked up 4 aftermarket 8x17 monoblocks yesterday with tires. Wheels are in 
very good condition. Tires are Linglongs (dingalings!) from Thailand, 5yr old 
but fair amount of tread left. I think they will fit on the 400E without 
rubbing, guy had them on a 210. Should look really good. Not the greatest tires 
but will work for now and better than the 14yo rubber on there now. So now I 
need to get the car sorted.

Pouring rain today so might not get a chance to mount them but excited to try 
them.
