Re: [MBZ] Today's Fun

Yes, but they aren't too pretty. Driver's front was really gouged by something near the center cap, but the spare looked decent. I think they charge $45 per rim? They should fit your car just fine. Here's the VIN if you want to run it and see what options it has: WDBEA32E4SC245932 -- Max

Would they fit my 1995 E320D? How much do you think they would want for them? -D > On Oct 21, 2017, at 8:57 PM, Max Dillon via Mercedes > wrote: > > R found this new pick-n-pull years ago, we finally made it. I only had about > thirty minutes, so had to move fast.

Re: [MBZ] Today's Fun

It was quite easy. I drilled out the rivets, 3 or 4, and pulled the clip on the plastic slider track, let the glass down, and it popped right out. I guess to put it back in I’ll need some little bolts. I took the motor off first but I don’t think that was necessary. It was the LR regulator.

Re: [MBZ] Today's Fun

R found this new pick-n-pull years ago, we finally made it. I only had about thirty minutes, so had to move fast. Found a '95 E320 sedan that I think has the special edition trim. The door sills were stainless steel with "Mercedes-Benz" printed, grabbed those. Rims have six holes instead of

Re: [MBZ] Today's Fun

You went thru the hassle to remove a window regulator on one of those? How much did you pay for it? Sent from my iPhone > On Oct 21, 2017, at 4:27 PM, Buggered Benzmail via Mercedes > wrote: > > I went knackering to get some bits for the cheap E dizzel. Hit 2 or 3 cars

Re: [MBZ] Today's Fun

I went knackering to get some bits for the cheap E dizzel. Hit 2 or 3 cars and scored some stuff. Got a good tire/ rim to replace the one the exBF wouldn’t give me and a tailight and door seat switches. No good front valance on any they had there so will have to keep looking for that. Got a

Re: [MBZ] Today's Fun

Just came in from killing a battery and using up half of another in my Nextec drill, wheeling off the rust spots on my recently acquired ML350 with a 3M paint and rust remover disk. Now to do the same for the spot on the edge of the S420 trunk lid, and open up a new pint of POR-15... Mitch.

Re: [MBZ] Today's Fun

I got my latest 240d unloaded into the shop. Fuel probably leaked down from sitting and needed to be bled. I discovered it could not be bled properly because whoever installed the little fuel line from the prefilter to the bleed pump had th screws pointed so they were blocking the pump from

[MBZ] Today's Fun

Got up at the usual (5:00 am) but it was too dark to do anything outside. As soon as it lightened up I washed the 350SDL and spent some time getting it cleaned up and ready to go to the new buyer, who is going to fly in on Wednesday and pick it up. Got all the spares loaded up in the trunk

Re: [MBZ] Today's Fun

I started to undertake this process on my own until I realized my formerly substantial supply of wet sanding paper was somehow nowhere near what I recalled it being. That said, it’s not a terribly difficult job to do if you had all the right grits of paper available. I had a couple of gaps in

[MBZ] Today's Fun

Low key this weekend, as I have to sit for a GIAC certification test on Monday so I need some study time…more alphabet soup! I was going to drain and refill the transmission as well as replace the filter, but my FLAPS is only carrying the high mileage Valvoline MaxLife ATF, which is not what I
