(nods) Was running close to the red line yesterday in stop and go

this AM.  The fan stopped dead with the engine cold, so I'm guessing 
Brer Clutch has dried out or sommat.  Say, isn't there a temporary 
workaround involving running screws through the housing to lock the 
clutch up until I can get a replacement?

Button everything back up and you'll have a working clutch again.


Retried the newspaper test after going out on errands, and the clutch 
now works; the fan doesn't stop.  Guess it needed warming up?  The

The '97 E420 I bought offa K'leb apparently had its ignition cylinder
changed, as the one key I do have doesn't work in the door or trunk.  Is it
worthwhile having one or the others  rekeyed?  Or do I order a couple of
flat keys with the chip from the dealer, and just have a couple non-chipped
ignition keys cut at my local locksmith, keeping them with the flat keys so
the chip works?

[MBZ] '97 E420 Instrument Cluster and Dipstick

[M. Mitchell Marmel]

Since my current cluster has quite a few missing pixels on the 
display (and maybe a wonky fuel gauge, since it stays on full all the 
time*), and since overhauling the durned thing would be a $300 
proposition**, I'm mulling over getting a cluster on eBay for under a 
C-note.


*Yes, I know, fuel sender, yadda yadda, will try that as well.
** Not brave enough to try cracking the thing open and replacing the 
ribbon cables, thanks.


Anyhoo, would a cluster from a different year/model of W210 (say, an 
E320 for instance) work?  Or are the engine inputs wired differently?


Also, does anyone have a spare dipstick for an M119 lurking about? 
The handle on mine disappeared during a road trip to Memphis.


Thanks!

(Extra Credit Trivia Quiz: Name the radio comedian to whom the title 
of this epistle refers)


Longtime students of the M. Mitchell Marmel School of Improvisational 
Mercedes Repair will recall that Rommel has been operating since the 
spring with a horn button hoseclamped to the turn signal stalk, as 
well as said stalk being somewhat wonky in the wiper control 
department.  Things came to a head last night, when the wipers, 
already limited to high speed only, began cutting out entirely when I 
signalled for a right turn.


Time for me to apply the replacement stalk, steering wheel and horn 
contacts I got from a late, lamented '70 250C at Lou's U-Pull-It.


This morning dawned clear and chilly, so, after the cable guy had 
come and gone (I have finally broken down and gotten cable in my 
bedroom), I commenced working:


1) Remove screws holding left kick panel in place.

2) Remove bungee cord holding left kick panel in place.  (The phrase 
"jerry rigged" was coined with Rommel in mind.)


3) Disconnect old stalk plug.  Before pulling, check replacement 
stalk by plugging in.  Huzzah!  It works!


4) Undo center nut in steering wheel.

5) Lose nut and socket in steering wheel bowl.

5a) Curse Daimler-Benz engineers.

6) Pull steering wheel with gentle tug.

7) Pull steering wheel with firm tug.

8) Give big honking yank.  Steering wheel pops free.

9) See 5a)

10) Examine horn slip rings and contacts.  Yick.  The shift column 
has, true to its nature, shifted a bit and the tip is digging into 
the outer ring.  Brass shavings everywhere.


11) See 5a)

12) Unscrew stalk, attempt to pull out.  Fumble with plug until I get 
it to pass through the steering column cover.


13) See 5a)

14) Install replacement horn contacts.

15) Try to thread replacement stalk cable through column cover.  Plug 
doesn't want to get with the program.


16) See 5a)

17) Get plug threaded, stalk screwed in and horn contact wires connected.

18) Go to plug stalk cable in.

19) Discover that cable is three inches too short to reach the socket.

20) See 5a), grand slam redoubled in spades.  Vow to make hefty 
contribution to the "Track Down 114/115 Engineers and Slap Them 
Silly" fund.  Consider that, given some of the design features of the 
114/115, this may be redundant, as the engineers were obviously more 
than adequately silly.


21) Unbolt socket bracket.

22) Discover that socket slides into bracket.

23) See 5a)

24) Detach socket, connect to plug.

25) Carefully positioning replacement steering wheel, place on splines.

26) Give gentle push.

27) Give strong shove.

28) Whack the hub with a large socket and 1/2" extender.

29) See 5a)

30) Using mystic finger contortions, retrieve socket and nut from 
original steering wheel.


31) Bolt steering wheel down firmly.

32) Turn on ignition key.

33) Horn sounds continuously.

34) Turn off ignition key.

35) See 5a)

36) Unbolt steering wheel from hub to see if ring is the problem.

37) Ring ain't the problem.

38) Rebolt steering wheel to hub, unbolt hub nut and gently yank at 
steering wheel.


39) See 8) and 5a).

40) Glare hatefully at the tip of the shift lever column.  Wonder if 
Phil is finished with Iltis yet.


41) Spend fifteen minutes or so fiddling with bits of wood, plastic 
and so forth to make an insulating cap for the shaft.


42) Finally strike on a bit of plastic pipe left over from an 80's 
vintage Erector set.


43) Slice a 2.5 mm chunk off.

44) Eureka!  It fits.

45) Reinstall steering wheel as above.

46) Lose socket in bowl again.

47) See 5a)

48) Unbolt wheel from hub; retrieve socket.

49) Reassembly of wheel and kick panel in reverse of above.

50) Turn on ignition switch.  Everything works flawlessly.  Damn, I'm good.

And so, Rommel has a working horn ring, uncracked steering wheel, 
fully working wipers and a good turn stalk.


A good morning's work, says I.

Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere,

The secret of life is honesty and fair dealing. If you can fake that, 
you've got it made.


There is one way to find out if a man is honest; ask him! If he says 
yes you know he's crooked.

Re: [MBZ] OT, equalizer V bass/treble

[M. Mitchell Marmel]

At 6:08 PM -0600 2/1/09, Kaleb C. Striplin wrote:
OK, I assume that a equalizer is better than just bass and treble 
adjustments.  I have never been able to quite figure out how to 
adjust an equalizer though.  Seems I always have to play with it the 
whole time a song is going, then the next song seems it needs 
another adjustment. I was just sitting here listening to some songs 
on the computer and playing with its equalizer and thought of this 
question that I have often wondered about.  In fact, on my home 
stereo surround sound, I dont even have the equalizer hooked up 
anymore for regular non-surround stuff.  Any tips, pointers, 
thoughts etc.


Basic idea with an EQ is to tailor the sound to a particular room, 
speaker set, etc.Quick and dirty method:  Find a reference 
recording of some sort (say, in your case, a Bert Kaempfert CD). 
Start it going with the EQ flat and listen to the sound.  If it 
sounds muddy, boost the higher frequency sliders.  If it sounds 
tinny, boost the lower frequency sliders.  If it sounds flat, boost 
the midrange a bit.  Once you've found the sweet spot, leave it 
there; that'll be about as good as you're likely to get.
