Re: [MBZ] OT Computer virus attacts

I use the free AVAST! version on my computer and have had no problems. I don't have alerts unless it finds something, and that only happens a few times a year. I suspect that part of the help I get on that is being on the end of a wireless router so I'm hard to find. I had a corporate edition of

Re: [MBZ] What can someone tell me about these Mercedes?

I'll second the feeling about the 140's road worthiness. We just took our 1997 S320 to Atlanta and back - probably 1,000 total for the week. This one you look forward to driving. The Parktronic is helpful for getting it where you want it [my darling wife likes to back into spaces], the moisture

[MBZ] Dash console dead - 1981 300SD

I did it to myself, though I am not exactly sure of the part I screwed up. For the past three years I have had an intermittent buzz [like a single strand of a wire shorting out at times] on the blinker. It would be good while flashing, but hum/buzz at times, and it's extreme was to make a continuo

Thank you Barry. I gave them a quick look earlier, but I will pay special attention to 12. If I show continuity from the top to the bottom of the fuse holder I would assume the fuse is good? They all did that about two weeks ago, but that was prior to my messing with it. BillR -Original Messa
