Re: [MBZ] Why can't people take a few minutes to clean things up?

I spent a few hours spiffing up the SD. Leather front seats are pretty worn, but seem to have had the edges coated in a lacquer for protection. Hoses and underhood tidied up well. --- clay > I turned my computer upside down and shook it, but the bookmark for what I'm > looking for did

[MBZ] POS W220

This car is really a rolling polished turd. The cluster just shat itself, so now a driver can no longer see what it going on regarding speed or other data while driving. Research shows DBAG knew full well they had screwed up and had a 10 recall on this. I am not sure the work was done, but if

[MBZ] Seats for Kaleb

I cleaned up the TE seats in preparation for figuring out how to mount and install the dark green MBtex into the SDL. Then I got the free SD and all the spare parts (including seats) and now find them to be surplus. I can see that the w124 seats are a bit delicate compared to the W126 perches.

The grossest issue is that the thing runs on florescent lighting. A bunch of step up transformers to take 12v to 4kv to power three lamps. The board is a full on logic board beyond what a simple arduino can defeat. There are a few yootube videos on how to swap in LED, but that is beyond my so

Pull the tumbler now and take it to a reputable locksmith. The W123 tumblers are NLA from the fatherland or classic center. Lock jock will clean and rebuild the tumbler and cut you a reference key based on VIN to fit. clay > On Feb 15, 2017, at 3:36 AM, Max Dillon via Mercedes > wrote: >
