That steering wheel belongs in a earlier model, also the headlights should be the 280E style ones but I could be wrong and very early 83's still came out had the round ones (poor lighting). Also I doubt wether the bottom end is the cause of the noise unless severly overheted or run with low/no oil.

[MBZ] Electrical problems
Hello, I have a 87 300SDL, I'm wondering what might cause the number 5 fuse to blow when I put the car in reverse, it only blows then, I can start the car in neutral and select drive and its ok. I can tell this because the A/C- blower stays running. The fuse designation chart lists fuse #5, as a 8 amp white fuse that controls the following back-up lamp, heating water valves, water pump, climate control syst, relay aux fan term. 86, aut. transmission electrics, blower motor inside temp sensor, air condition compressor, electromagn. clutch/valve air injection. I also have another problem that my blinkers and flasher do not function this is control by the #2 8 amp fuse which is good because my clock functions. It controls diagnostic term. 6 hazard warning system, clock front roof light electronic radio, vanity mirror light, electr. illum. control It did blow the fuse in the back of my Becker radio.

Thanks to all who replied concerning the IC removal. I did remove the steering wheel which did give me more room to work with. It was not a quick procedure.

[MBZ] lugs torque?
I still prefer to put a squirt of Kroil on the threads of my lugs. Then torque them to 78lbs/ft. Just to protect against a seized lug bolt out on the road or if one of the ladies god forbid has to change a flat. -- Dry. Anti-seize will act as a lubricant will actually cause you to over torque the lug bolts. Thanks, Tom Hargrave www.kegkits.com 256-656-1924 I think the book calls for 80 ft/lbs. for the wheels on the 300E. I think is also says to recheck and retorque as needes after 500 miles? Does anyone know if the official work manual calls for the bolts to be torqued dry or with anti-seize? Thanks, Ed 300E ___ _ The average US Credit Score is 675.

[MBZ] Why were none of you there ....How much can 2
Are your Dobermann house dogs, do they shed much? -- From: Zoltan Finks My Dobies have been SO inescapably driven to pull that I gave my previous one what he wanted - I hooked his leash up to the fork of my Sportster and let him go for it from a dead stop. He did it. In retrospect it was not a good thing to do to a one year old - still growing and such. But I'm telling you, I am almost at the point of not getting another male dobie - extreme drive to pull. I think that this one especially has a super duper prey drive owing to his pure Shutzhund heritage. I need one with more defense drive instead. Brian _ Download Messenger. Join the im Initiative.

[MBZ] 300SDL windshield
Sounds like you got a good price on the glass, the two places I called wanted $279 $250. (PPG glass) The one place said they can reuse the molding and the other place would like to order new molding just in case. So I guess my next step is to call the insurance co to see if the added expense of the molding well be covered. There is no gasket for this glass, like you quoted below they use a glue/urethane kit. Roger OK Don Wrote- I got a new windshield in my 300SDL last summer at the local Binswanger shop for a total of $200.00 - including tax. It has not leaked in the torrential rains we've been getting - even at highway speeds yesterday. They were able to replace the molding such that I can't tell they touched it. I think this windshield is glued in instead of using a gasket?

[MBZ] 87 300SDL windshield replacement
I'll make sure and bring it to their attention when I finalize on the installer Roger We put a PPG windshield in our 1987 300SDL when we had it and it worked out okay. Have the installer be careful of the two rivets on the top corners of the roof that hold the molding down. I think they're aluminum and oxidize. When they remove the molding the rivet that holds the molding clip on snaps.

Re: [MBZ] Mercedes Digest, Vol 20, Issue 110
I've put on 2 applications of the Leatherique product of the oil rejuvenator the pristine clean. I was hardly impressed. For all the work it took, it sure did remove a lot of the leather dye from my seats and left a dull finish. Still card board hard in the 87 SDL. Roger Forget the Eagle One for the upholstery. Use Leatherique. The stuff is nothing short of amazing. Not that your interior would need it, but I have used it to recover the nastiest, hardest leather from old MBs that you ever saw. If you follow George's instructions, you won't be disappointed. And the owners, George and Krystal are realy great people who are car enthusiasts like us. They are very accessible and responsive to any questions or inquiries about their products.

It has an MB number of 900 589 012700. This may be a rather simple item to make for a fraction of the cost. I am sure that the Beisbarth spreader has a built in torque device pre set at 90-110 NM. However, it might also be done with two short pieces of pipe with plates welded on the end. The middle can be fashioned with a 18 piece of all thread and two nuts. You will however need a torque wrench and a crows foot wrench to tighten the nut. Your thoughts on the subject.. Constantine - _ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!
