Re: [MBZ] Problem with the web site?

Yup that's what I was going to do. I just wanted to try and find out if a lot of people who might be interested in the list just can't apply because of this problem. Or if it might be a feature to limit the membership. :-) Manfred Rick Knoble via Mercedes wrote: Here. Send him this link.

Re: [MBZ] W126 Door Latch

Kroil for a while then pop the screw heads a good lick or two with a hammer and try again to loosen them. Rinse and repeat and if not you could also put the hex driver in and hit that good and hard with a hammer. sooner or later it should come loose. Worse comes to worse just drill out the

Re: [MBZ] Today's 300SEL Fun (so far)

I just did the right front outer wheel bearing on my TD 2 weeks ago. I was hearing a rumbling noise, first only on left turns and then after about a week started hearing it on straight line also. Took the cap off, popped the bearing out and sure enough saw metal flakes in the grease. Found out

Has anyone tried going to the main page on the Okiebenz site http://okiebenz.com/ A friend to whom I recommended that he join the group since he has an 82 or so 300CD can't get anywhere off that page. Nothing works so he can't apply to join the list. I tried the same and had the same problem.

Re: [MBZ] Rear Window

Did you make sure that the wires you used to carry the 12 volts to the screws were actually carrying 12 volts. Don't ask, had that happen before. Did you try applying the wires in both orientations? Applied one way, the motor will turn in one direction. Switch the wires around and the motor

Re: [MBZ] OT: Win 10 questions

Yeah but then again with the slow dialup it would probably take till next year to get done with the taxes that way. So far I seem to have worked things more or less around to get win10 do it my way. Or at least enough to at least use it for the taxes for now, till they stop support for win10
