The color is very unique, I think it helps diffuse situations when others
hear you coming. It comes off very friendly when lots of these around town
are dark blue with poorly tinted windows.

[MBZ] Listed my green '77 240D on CL

[Darren Marshall via Mercedes]

Things have been slow over here and need the space and the cash. Sold the
280se about a month ago.

Hope to move it in the next few days. It's parked at the end of my street
in the city, I'll be in the burbs until tomorrow but if anyone on the list
wants to come check her out, just holler.

Re: [MBZ] This might be a decent buy

[Darren Marshall via Mercedes]

280SE

And have to say after only being able to play with it for about a day, I love 
it. It needs some TLC, but the pep and design details on it have won my heart. 

Now to fix that vapor lock, which I just reproduced with the engine temp at 
about 190 degrees, while idling. Engine puttered out and stalled. I can get to 
to start with a little throttle, but stalls quickly after.

Where can I get that new check valve again? Going to try this and some 
insulation and see what happens.

Couple of additional pics

I believe this was a family owned car down in OK. I don't have the full story 
yet but I'll dig it up, it has "the original" German plates, but I don't know 
how accurate that is. It's supposed that the daughter barn garaged it for like 
10 years, and had been driving it recently daily until it started vapor locking 
/ having hot start issues. Spent a little trying to fix it, and I think 
replaced the fuel pump, cleaned filters/screens but didn't dive deep to fully 
diagnose. My hope is that I'll wrap the fuel lines, replace the check valve and 
w the cooler weather here in IL will suitable for commuting :)

Re: [MBZ] W124 Hood Release will not work

[Darren Marshall via Mercedes]

77 240d, not sure if it's the same mechanism... but the way you describe it
sounds the same.

There is a slightly hooked spring loaded latch that attaches to the handle.
Release the hood lever thing from inside, then wrap the wire around the
latch and pull forward the same way you would pull the handle.

 Darren, which car?  Does hood latch mean the handle that pops out of the
 grill after the inside hood release is pulled?

 Running a piece of wire around the base of the lever may allow Larry to
 release the hood by pulling the wire toward the passenger side of the car.

 Larry,
 
 I'm skeptical that you can get it open going through the grill, I'm going
 to take a look at my '95 and see what it looks like.  I remember examining
 the mechanism and thinking that it would be quite difficult to defeat.  I
 think that all of the cable/lever part is inside a metal box with no access.

Re: [MBZ] Fixing oxidized chrome trim

[Darren Marshall via Mercedes]

I'll get more pics together, body is in great condition, very very little
rust, nothing on the underside or wheel wells, I think it may have been
resprayed in the 80s, clearcoat seems to have disappeared on one of the
doors, but with a good wax you can't tell ;) -- I think the color is
Calendonia

As mentioned trim is oxidized, interior is almost mint, but I had to
replace a driver seat which was an 8hr pain in the ass, and needs to be
re-tracked.

She's a real looker from 5ft

214k miles, I'm having belt issues regularly. I think I need a replacement
tension bolt but can't seem to find one.

I also have no idea what it's actually worth

Re: [MBZ] Archoil Snake Oil?

[Darren Marshall via Mercedes]

Have not... but I have tried Bars leaks engine repair, after I took the 240D in 
for a check up and the owner told me compression was super low in cyl 1, 
couldn't tell me why, but that I should buy a new motor!

So, the next day I changed the oil and figured I'd dump some of the sealant in 
and see what happens... well, compression shot up within 24hrs. I boogied! 

It might end up being a last resort, but after the journey I'd been through 
getting it on the road, I'd be damned if I wasn't driving it daily until it 
dies. And so far, runs just fine.

Re: [MBZ] Anyone near Bellaire, Mi?

[Darren Marshall via Mercedes]

Yeah, it was quite the adventure!

This was the first trip I'd taken over 50 miles since getting it on the road. I 
suppose it was quite a risk for a car that hadn't been driven in 14 years, but 
I needed to put it through the gauntlet--it was also stag weekend, and my wife 
needed the rover. I got a clean bill of health from my local shop, had a 
gallon of Rotella, coolant, water, tools, 

Anyhow, highway driving was pretty smooth, but couldn't really cruise past 70 
unless on a slope. Floored it the whole way... 

By the time we got to Bellaire, the hills just did us in. I finally puttered 
into the driveway of the house we rented, and the car was begging for mercy. I 
had to call up a local mechanic to source an alternator belt, as mine (only two 
months old, which had been set and tightened a week later) was stretched so bad 
I'm pretty lucky it didn't fall right off.

Topped off the oil, and she cranked right back up Monday am. So almost 1200 odd 
miles later, we were back in Chitown. She's squealing pretty bad now while 
idling, which I need to figure out... but I'm awfully proud that it held up as 
well as it did. Almost thought I was going to bury her up in those mountains.

[MBZ] Replacing fuel injectors on '77 240d

[Darren Marshall via Mercedes]

Hi all, been a while since I posted -- hope you guys are doing well. I've 
finally managed to get my 240d ready for the road after a long bonded-title 
process. I've noticed my injectors have been leaking, and I suspect both 
clogged nozzles and bad hoses.

I've never done any work myself on injectors,  and am wondering if anyone has 
any experience with Monarch nozzles? Additionally, if anyone in Chicago is 
willing to help me with the work, or know roughly what this work should cost 
from a shop, I'd really appreciate it.

Maybe a Vespa Grande? That's more of a moped, I know in IL anything over
60cc (or something) needs to be titled and registered, most with mopeds
don't even bother.

I have a 1981 Honda Passport c70 (light blue/white) that i had to plate,
but I don't think it requires insurance.

 California is worse.
 
 When I bought my 1962 300SE it was part of an estate and had not been on the 
 road for 3-4 years. In order for me to gain title to the car they expected me 
 to pay all of the registration fees for the missing years before I could 
 take title of the car.
 
 The estate attorney pretty much told me I was up a proverbial creek, as they 
 weren't going to pay the fees. In fairness to him he did write a very legal 
 bill of sale so I had something to show ownership.
 
 I ended up telling the CA DMV to bite me and went to one of the lost title 
 places in Alabama, I believe. Very quick and smooth process, cost me under 
 $200 at the time and was done in a day via FedEx.
 
 I wasn't keen about this approach as it broke the chain of the car's history, 
 but I wasn't about to be held up by the CA DMV for close to two grand, either.

A little off topic on the off topic, but for an example of what you can do with 
location data, and If y'all happen to dig the Zombie Apocalypse, we released an 
app called Map of the Dead for iOS awhile back. 

It's a location based scavenge / survival game based on geolocation data of 
area businesses; check in to locations, fight zombies, collect ammo and other 
supplies, buy a crossbow ...

Re: [MBZ] At this time Trent is a thief

[Darren Marshall]

Best route is to call your card issuer and file a chargeback. They will ask you 
to file a simple report, credit you your monies and attempt to collect the 
amount from the merchant.

This works best with credit cards, but each card issuer has policies for 
dealing with chargebacks / affidavits for unauthorized use etc.

Good luck guys, sorry to hear this is happening.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Starving Youngsters: was 44 years OT

So many other sketchy things happening with your tax dollars... 

and so many illegals are working 'undesirable' jobs, not living in any remote

either guided to legal status, or ousted.

Welfare on the other hand is a system that seems easy to game, but god forbid

I try to steer away from making too many assumptions about things like this,

Re: [MBZ] OT: Starving Youngsters: was 44 years OT

[Darren Marshall]

Naw man, in fact I said that I'm not discrediting the argument for the need for 
policy change on these issues.

You are entitled to your opinion, and assuming you're of age and legal status, 
you're also are entitled to vote on these issues... hell, run for office, this 
is America! But be careful who you represent...

It might seem like a noble thing to say it's the law but let's get real. It's 
a slippery slope. Watch the news lately?

You are also clearly stereotyping. On one hand criminalizing people that are 
using the system, and on the other criminalizing people who are not using the 
system seems a bit hypocritical.

As a business owner who supports and participates in legitimate work visa 
sponsorship programs, I can personally tell you that not all people from all 
countries have an equal shot at opportunity here. Keep in mind that at some 
point, we all came from somewhere else. 

I'll also tell you that the only real difference between an immigrant coming 
here legally/illegally will come down to how much money is in their pocket, and 
if they have access to quality legal counsel. Fair?

Putting the spotlight on, and generalizing on these two groups are part of the 
reason this country has such strong ADD, and can never focus on big issues long 
enough to see real change.

 While they may work harder than lard ass Americans, that doesn't make it

 Welfare is often a waste of tax money.  Paying food stamps for people to

Re: [MBZ] New driver seat is in

[Darren Marshall]

Yep, it's an open layout, roasting in back, cafe in front. Our retail manager 
Talya, or our Operations Director Brian will be there to give a nice tasting... 
both award winning Baristas.

Metered parking on the street, the earlier the better to find spots in front, 
but should be np for a handful of cars.

Will keep you posted,

 That is what I was guessing - weekday morning sometime.
 Laptop/MissB, m/m-z, me (thet's 5 people) have expressed desire to see
 your shop do roasting.  Baristas pull espresso at the same location?
 Pictures sound great, if/when.
 What is parking situation at shop location?
 Thanks,  no hurry - we're asking...

[MBZ] New driver seat is in

[Darren Marshall]

Well, it took a combination of frustrated finagling, about a quarter can of 
lube, popping the tension spring, jimmy-rigging the ramp track while whacking 
the rear of the track with a giant hammer... but the old seat is out and the 
new one is in.

Woot!

[MBZ] Ready to replace driver seat, and the ramp track is seized

[Darren Marshall]

So I cannot get to the rear bolts. I've tried wd40 to lube it up, and the seat 
just won't ramp up for the life of me.

The bottom of the seat is literally torn to shreds, think I'd be able to get at 
that track assembly if I removed it?

 Poor acceleration, low top speed, and the throttle cable problem
 point to the potential for more problems with your cable and throttle
 linkage.  Quick check: have your lovely assistant push the accelerator
 pedal to the floor while you watch the injection pump linkage, look for
 full stroke of the linkage.  Operating it by hand at the injection pump
 should allow full stroke, which you can compare to pedal controlled
 linkage stroke.
 
 Knocking at high RPM is probably an injector problem, not timing, but
 you should check the timing chain stretch next time the valve cover is
 off.  Read up on that here, post # 3

Re: [MBZ] OT - Coffee stuff FS

[Darren Marshall]

Agreed, glad there are some coffee enthusiasts here :)

I recently opened a roastery with a few partners in Chicago last year called 
Bow Truss; we use a 12 kilo probat, serve up some really special naturals

New Guinea) and a couple of blends.

I push v60 for home brewing, it's a bit of science but is super simple for 
those looking to get away from drip pots...

 Do you roast enough to sell?  Count me interested in a pound or less
 of each, if/when - let me/us know price shipped?
 What type of roaster?
 8 years ago one of the neighbors roasted coffee, he moved to FL.
 What brew method do you you use?

Awesome, Craig.

Used to live in NM as a kid; Rio Rancho and Corrales, until I was about 12, 
moved from Fairbanks, AK when my dad was transferred to Kirkland AFB. 

Love the Balloon Fiesta, parents were a part of a chase crew we'd drive all 
over the state in a 50s Chevy pickup, to refuel them on their hops. 

Sorry to embark on a trip of nostalgia, while you're skirting danger. Just 
haven't been back in ages...

 the chance that the wrong one was put in the right box. What is your

tension, and just won't tighten to seal, as if the threading on the caliper
is stripped.

 What's too shallow mean? There's typically quite a bit of fitting left
 exposed, but that doesn't matter.

 Or are you saying the line won't fit?

  Subject: [MBZ] Brake line threads not fitting caliper
 
  Was putting NuGeon remanufactured calipers this morning, and the
 threading on the driver front caliper is too shallow to fit the brake line.
 
  Looks like this morning just got shot in the foot.
