My concern with both methods is getting the links tightened up in "ready to drive" position. That said, the first option would probably be my choice.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Temperature in MidEast just went up
Not very likely. I'm retired from Navy Reserve now. Retired from active duty would be called before me. Army did that for the surge back in 2008, Navy did not being back any retired that I know of, although they can always make exceptions for "by name" recall if someone has a needed skill. They recalled a bunch of retired folks when Reagan brought the battleships back out of mothballs, for instance. There were no Gunner's Mates left who knew how to operate those sixteen inch guns.

Re: [MBZ] Happy new year
SWMBO and SWMBette wanted to go to Folly Beach tonight, about 45 minutes drive to a Redneck Riviera. We drove out to arrive about five minutes to midnight, watched the Flip Flop Drop (think giant flip flops made from Christmas tree lights, suspended then slowly dropped from a ladder fire truck). Escaped as quickly as we arrived (parked illegally on a sidewalk right up close to the action, made for an easy get away), popped some bubbly once we got back to the hacienda. In, out, and nobody got hurt.

Re: [MBZ] 124 RF LCA???
Complete assembly is $$$. Try Parks Auto, and Baker Motors. Otherwise you can get the ball joint and bushings separately, but need a press to get the ball joint out, and the bushings are a bear too. I've ordered a press from Germany, still waiting, probably won't arrive until later in January. I have a press from Hazard Fraught, but you'll need to cut off the ball joint stem and heat the LCA in order to use this press.

Re: [MBZ] OT: End of the Nuke Era in Switzerland
Craig, this reminds me of how Marshall Booth would challenge anyone to demonstrate evidence from a repeatable experiment, when they claimed to know how to improve on what the MB engineers had wrought. Example: installing a K air filter on a 240D. Marshall's response: time several 0 to 60 runs with the factory air filter, remove it and retest the 0 to 60 run, and report back on how much faster the car performed without the factory air filter. I don't recall that anyone was able to improve performance.

Re: [MBZ] OT: End of the Nuke Era in Switzerland
I recently saw an analysis that solar installations north of the 35th parallel were a net CO2 loss, when all the CO2 emitted during production and installation were compared to the same power provided by coal or one of the other fossil fuels. In other words, installing solar panels to replace electricity currently generated by fossil fuels will INCREASE the amount of CO2 released into the atmosphere, when the solar panels are installed north of 35 degrees.

Re: [MBZ] 124 monovalve variations
The SPDT function seems to be done mechanically in the base. I haven't taken one apart yet, but I surmise that the solenoid moves a rod that has two valve seats, which are opposed so that only one can be open at a time. The part is the entire assembly. Only the circulation pump is available as a separate part.

Peter, I don't know how a bypass would help that. Maybe it encourages a continuous flow through more of the hoses, keeping them warmer?

Yes, I was also forgetting that one. Any rubber mounts / bushings / flex discs that are older than ten years are suspect according to the late Dr Marshall Booth. Rubber mount for differential?

Re: [MBZ] 1980 300SD Drive train vibration
That's a good start point, and usually the solution. Start with simple / cheap known wear items. Are the boots on the half axles still intact? If they've failed, time to replace those. The U-joints can get stiff / notchy with time, and I understand a good mechanic can feel the movement when they are off the car, and ID a bad u-joint.

Re: [MBZ] OT - Roomba
We bought one years ago, clone of some type. Useless. Bin is small, work quality is terrible, and usually it would fail to park on the charger so the battery world die and the programming would fail, so in order to get it going again was a pain. Someone else already said you've got to keep the floors clear, that doesn't happen magically, and once the floors are clear, I can vacuum a room in minutes and achieve a far higher quality of work. The basic issue is physics. A small slow moving battery operated machine simply doesn't have the power of a corded vacuum, doesn't have the sensors (eyes and ears) to determine if the job is done right, and cannot overcome simple obstacles (Jimmy put your toys away now or I'm putting them out on the street curb for the kids in the neighborhood!). They are a curiosity, not a real tool. If you can get a free in-home trial period, probably will only take a few days or a week to see if the machine is right or not.

[MBZ] Decent mileage
Last week I drove my new '95 E300 about 1600 miles. First two tanks returned 32 mpg, the last tank was 36.9 mpg, but only 284 miles. Overall average was about 32.8. This was mostly driving in cold weather, with a small amount of city traffic around WDC and the city of brotherly love.

That's pretty funny. Once I chanced upon a grouse hen with her brood of chicks, and caught one of the chicks. Momma didn't like that, and came back at me to get her chick.

After a few seconds I let the chick go, and she chased it over to the rest of the brood and we went our separate ways.
