Re: [MBZ] Civic
I love this list! My dad bought it new in November of 1996, drove it for 6 years, then let me borrow it for 5 years. It is a 5-speed manual and has 135,000 miles. The car has never been smoked in. I have full records for all major services. The timing belt and water pump were replaced at 90K, new tires at 90K, all fluids flushed and filled at 130K. I've done oil and filter changes myself every 5,000 miles with full synthetic oil since 100,000 miles - prior to that, oil was changed every 3-5,000 miles by a shop. It burns zero oil. I recharged the A/C last summer and it works perfectly. Options - power windows and locks, power mirrors, cruise control. The radio has integrated support for an iPod and the necessary cable is already installed. However, if you want a CD player installed instead, that can be arranged. It gets 35mpg highway at 75mph, 40mpg at 60mph. The emissions system (oxygen sensor, etc) is still under warranty through Honda until 150,000 miles or November 2011, whichever comes first. The crash damage that will probably pop up is from a crash in March of 1997 (yes, 6 months after buying it) - old man in a Cadillac crossed the double yellow line and hit us on the front passenger side. No engine/transmission damage. All work was done at the dealer using only new parts. Driven it another 130,000 miles since then without incident. As for price, I'd like to believe it's worth more than the private party value just because of one-owner history, non-smoker interior, iPod support, and full maintenance records. But I could be very wrong and misguided. On Wed, May 21, 2008 at 5:34 PM, John Robbins [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Mitch Haley wrote: I assume it's automatic? It is a manual.

Also, after adding up all the stuff I wanted to do to the wagon I was looking at over $10k of stuff (paint, updated interior body panels, superturbo engine mods, etc). Plus LOTS and LOTS of my time. I've decided that at this point in my life I want more free time... So I bought a car that will hopefully not need much work for the near future. For you armchair financial advisers... I just couldn't bring myself to buy a Honda, Toyota, or a FWD VW TDI. I miss being able to read a book, play a video game, go out with friends, etc without feeling guilty/stressed because I still need to paint this room, or get a car running, etc. I will get back into the older car scene in the future, but I just can't right now.

Re: [MBZ] OT - LCD TVs
My dad bought a sony bravia xbr3 LCD tv from Costco and has been deliriously happy with it. There's a push to buy 1080p (and not just 720p) because in the future broadcasters will broadcast in 1080p; I'm not buying it because by that time, I'll need a new tv anyway.

With computer LCDs there is a separate issue in that CRT sizes were often measured in terms of the actual picture tube size, some of which was always covered by the plastic border, so that a nominal 17 actually only had 15 of display area.

The only complaints I have are that I like the seats in my W124 better (this could be because I didn't fiddle with the ones in the CDI long) and it doesn't have the satellite radio option. That is actually a deal breaker. The salesguy is going to call me back tomorrow with the service history, and what it will take to get the sat radio in...

But I vaguely recall the Euro versions being sweet. http://columbus.craigslist.org/car/536056105.html 2) On an 87 300SE, can anyone think of a simple reason why it would run for about 1/2 an hour, then shut off? http://columbus.craigslist.org/car/537103329.html No affiliation or association with either of them; I'm actually considering getting my first S-class. -- Sunil Hari [EMAIL PROTECTED] 513-205-7474 614-441-8164 ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
Re: [MBZ] National Health Insurance
Not pay it. it's really that simple. Public hospitals are specifically NOT allowed to send their bills to collection agencies so they have to eat the cost. Of course, if you try this at a private hospital, they'll stabilize you in the ER and then boot you.

Re: [MBZ] National Health Insurance: was: Coffee is Hot
Then again, I'm a health-care provider in another government-run program - the US Navy. I can say that our quality of care and billing procedures and coverage are second to none. Billing is easy when it's all free. And with every procedure and every patient I've seen, cost has been no object - if doctors wanted it, it was done. I've been given thousands of dollars in vaccinations and medications at zero cost to me. Interestingly, despite every doctor being salaried and not being paid per patient, I haven't seen a slacker yet. Anyone else with military health care stories?

When I built my own PC (2003, pre-Mac) I used newegg - best service, one source for all my parts, good reputation, and I got free shipping at the time. Plus they source their memory from Crucial (Micron) which is one of the better memory suppliers. I didn't want to futz around with multiple stores shipping at different times and I built my computer for ~$400 with excellent components. Still runs today; it's now my parents' computer.

Re: [MBZ] OT: More Saab guidance needed (hey Mitch!)
Offer her $250 due to the poor condition and unknown sounds. The reverse thing -could- be part of the Saab interlock feature - you can't take out the key without the gear lever in reverse. Could be something related to that. As for the speed-related sound, could it be something rattling around in the transmission case? Get the oil reasonably warm and drain the oil and tranny fluid (which should be 5w-30 motor oil as well). See what falls out. Could be some metal snerd rattling around, could be 1/2 her transmission held in place by old oil. It'll cost you a couple dollars to sort out the top and electrical issues (could be lubrication with the windows and sunroof, could be more). Check the buyers guide and FAQ at www.saabnet.com about the Classic 900. On Dec 8, 2007 3:19 AM, Alex Chamberlain [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: So I couldn't resist going to take a look at the '92 Saab 900 Turbo 5-speed convertible with the chipped tooth in third gear. For less than $1,000 and the rest of the car in supposedly perfect condition, I had to see if it was something livable, like a bad syncro (I can double-clutch just fine, thank you) or something cheap to fix, like the clutch. Weird symptoms. The car fired right up after a jump (it had been sitting for a few months). At cold idle, there was a regular sharp metal-on-metal sound from the front lower part of the engine compartment, somewhere between a tick and a knock---sort of like tock-tock-pause, where the pause was a little less than a second. Tock, tock, one potato, tock, tock, one potato. Not at all subtle---this was something you could hear from half a block away. Driving off in first gear, it was clear that the frequency of the sound was related to road speed. I shifted into second wondering if it would continue to increase or drop with the engine speed, then increase again. Instead it went away entirely. In third there was a steady but less frequent, and much louder, metal-on-metal CLACK, again changing with road speed. (This, according to the somewhat ditzy female owner, was the behavior that had led her to abandon the car---It made this awful noise and I drove it home and parked it and haven't started it since!) I didn't get to drive it fast enough to bother going into fourth or fifth, unfortunately. It gets weirder: when I got back to the owner's house and let the car sit and idle warm for a while, the noise went away. Still there when the car was moving, in other words---just no longer at idle. Then I put it in reverse and first alternately, moving back and forth a few feet at a time, trying to make the noise come back or establish a pattern---but there was nothing, until all of a sudden there was a CLUNK and the car stopped dead, stuck with the gearshift in position for reverse but unable to move. In other words, it was in gear---if you let the clutch out, it would stall---but it wouldn't move. The female fiddled with the stick for a while and finally got it back to neutral, whereupon it felt like it was shifting into the forward gears properly---but I didn't try reverse again. Also on the bad side, the car was showing definite signs of neglect. The female was in over her head and knew it---the engine was dirty, the battery old, little electrical things were dead or dying (power locks, windows, heater fan), and, probably the worst thing about the car after the transmission issues, there was a sloppily duct-taped tear in the soft top, which had let in enough rain during the recent monsoons in Oregon to soak the rear carpets. On the good side, it shifted fine (until the transmission jammed up as described), clutch didn't slip, suspension was tight, and the engine seemed healthy---idled smoothly and had a surprising amount of power when the turbo kicked in. And the body was straight with good paint, and the 15-year-old leather interior seemed less worn than my 300D's 20-year-old MB-Tex. And I forgot how small and nimble 900s are---little front-drive go-karts! It made my 124 feel like a huge, lumbering brute of a vehicle. The female was asking $995, but I bet she'll take $600 or even less. What say y'all?

Re: [MBZ] Quality of the 190
Actually, when they were designing the 201 they overengineered the whole car on purpose because it was MB's first entry into small cars. They felt they had to prove they could make a small car and still have it be a Mercedes. Hence, they're excellent cars, on par with 124's in build quality. Of course, this put sticker price in the $30K range in the mid-80s for a car smaller than an Accord. But I'd feel totally comfortable buying a 201 for me or my SO.

I know the official answer from Mercedes would be of course not. But logic steers me elsewhere. If they are building a car that they will sell for less money, and to lower income or perhaps less discriminating buyers who just want a chance at owning a Benz and are barely able to achieve it, it seems to me that corners would be cut in quality. Of course I hope this is not the case, but...

Feels like my toe is being broken - same one over and over, every 20-30 seconds. My wife is frustrated because she cannot help and being a RN it's in her nature to help. - Plus, me screaming in pain every 20 seconds or so is kind of nerve wracking. it's been going on for 10 hours so far. Sometimes it lasts for a few minutes, few hours or a few days. I hope this won't be one of the longer periods. I;d never heard of this before I was diagnosed - and I thought, fine, once they figure out what I have they;ll give me a pill and I'll get well. But not everything is curable. Of course, given Marshall's recent passing and lengthy poor health it makes me thankful my disease is not worse.

easy way to get to the CC amp - take off the driver side dash panel by taking off the headlight switch and the plastic surrounding the key, then unscrew the phillips head screws and parking brake and hood release attachment, then the panel should come off.

Re: [MBZ] Changing glow plugs?
use a 12mm ratcheting box-end wrench to make access easier - hard to get to with sockets. Thread the new ones in by hand - last thing you want to do is cross-thread the holes.Some people put a little oil on the threads, some don't - I think the torque ratings for the plugs are for dry threads. If there's a lot of carbon in the holes, you'll probably want to ream out the excess carbon before putting in new plugs. And don't lose the nuts holding the electrical wires on the plugs - they're a bear to relocate once they fall off into the engine bay.

So, I'm figuring that I should just change them all. The relay seemed ok, as much as I could check it out today. So my question is, is there anything funky about replacing them? Spark plugs are no problem, unless they are in a Toyota Previa (In which case you have to take out the passenger seat, and open the floor of the van to get to them). Its in an 82 300SD, so a 617. All five of them seem like they should be fairly easy to get to. The 5th one looks like the trickiest, just because of the oil filter housing, but there should be plenty of space. Are there any special tools that are needed to replace them? Do I just diconnect the wires, and get the appropriate sized wrench and start removing them, and then reverse the operation to install the new ones?

Those quirky Swedes haven't made it at all obvious how to unlock these belts. Anyone out there got any suggestions? I've already taken out the seat and removed the seat belt reels and twiddled with them to no avail. I know this is non-diesel and non-Benz (and that is my cross to bear) but any help would be appreciated. -- Sunil Hari [EMAIL PROTECTED] 513-205-7474 614-441-8164 ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
Re: [MBZ] Stop me please
just bought an 88 900 turbo. Not sure if it's an SPG, but the guy claimed it was. In any case, it's faster than anything else i've had (?) or at least it -feels- faster. The PO tweaked the APG to increase the turbo boost. Scared the snot out of the SO - her nail marks are still in my right forearm. It's a keeper.

Having unequal tread heights is a great way to burn out a differential. But it takes time (hundreds, maybe thousands of miles).
