I have four unused Android phones, often thought about making dash cams of

The cost of such a system might exceed the cost of repair of the bumper,

I guess our taxes are good for something, had a local police officer in about
fifteen minutes. He took a quick look around, no visible securel security
cameras, offered to give me the full report to file with my insurance, I
declined as I don't carry full collison coverage.

Speaking of my E300, I think I need to get some photos of the entire car
and post them and you all tell me if you think its even worth me
replacing the door and getting it painted. I did notice today it did
damage the area behind the rear door and the wheel arch.

Miscreant hit and ran, damaged the front bumper of my '95 E300. No bent sheet
metal I think, just a mangled bumper. Driver's side corner, tore off the
impact strip, cracked the bumper cover underneath.
White paint on the bumper and slight marking on the body paint near the turn
signal light.
Will this also check how much current draw the starter is taking??

I figure if the starter cables are of proper factory size and they
get hot, you're drawing serious AMPS, and need to look to the power
consumer, not the power source, for your trouble.
Kinda a catch-22. If you spend the money for a decent clamp-on DC
ammeter, you have acquired a device that is adequate to measure low
ohms. Still, I like DC clamp-on's, but consumer grade ones are flaky.
Adding enough ohms to measure the resistance with a Harbor Freight
multimeter causes it' own
Could this be tied to the situation yesterday with the wipers going slower

Now it gets dim and the battery cables get warm (after several tries

It usually takes two people, but you should take a voltmeter and
connect it between the center post (not the cable clamp) of the
battery + and the starter motor's

A solenoid click followed by dimming lights and warm or hot battery
cables is a locked up starter motor, the typical failure mode on these
engines. I've replaced two so far (different cars) -- they crank slow
for a day or two, then lock up solid.
There is no alternative to replacement.

You're really going to enjoy getting to the starter on that thing in the

Check the cables, make sure they're good and tight, and

On an '85 190D it isn't too hard to get the starter out, or check the
