Re: [MBZ] Yesterday's Fun - 300D

Hey Karl - Mercedes will sell anything you have the money to buy ;-) They even have a special division called MB Classic I think that specializes in parts and restoration for older MBs. LarryT 91 300D - for which I have found any part I was looking for at the dealer. They may have to

Re: [MBZ] Yesterday's Fun - 300D

For what car? And certainly you can buy all of these. On the W123 they’re pretty cheap, even from the dealer. I think my coolant reservoir was a little over $30. Th washer fluid bottle is about $40, but the brake fluid reservoir is stupid money, like over $200. At least from the dealer it

Maybe that dap decreaser from home Depot, if it doesn't take the paint off also. I didn't know you could buy the new coolant, brake fluid and washer fluid reservoirs. Anybody have numbers? Thanks. On Jan 23, 2017 10:06 AM, "Dan Penoff via Mercedes" wrote: > Yeah, I'm

I have heard that if you want to get divorced, cleaning your chainsaw in the dishwasher is likely to provide sufficient grounds for your wife to file her petition. RB On 23/01/2017 2:09 PM, Mitch Haley via Mercedes wrote: I've heard that a great way to clean a chainsaw that you're restoring

Yeah, I'm not exactly sure how to go about cleaning that inner fender. It appears to be from oil mist, I'm guessing, but it's pretty well dug in. The brake fluid reservoir is actually pretty new, and I haven't had a chance to attack the windshield washer bottle yet. If there are any

Left (passenger) side of the engine bay looks fantastic! Right side, eh, now you need to replace the washer fluid reservoir and the brake fluid reservoir, and clean that inner fender. - Max Charleston SC On Sun, Jan 22, 2017 at 9:32 PM, Dan Penoff via Mercedes <

Heh. It would be the one I cook in, but no. We have an "outdoor kitchen" on our lanai with a gas stove/range. We do cook in it when the weather is warm to reduce the heat load on the house. Since it's outside it's fairly easy to do stuff like this, or use it to set the paint on my air cleaner

Gerry, Good to see you! I used some 3M wheel with these little orange spines. It's probably as aggressive as a wire wheel, but seems a little gentler, if that makes sense. I believe it's called a Scotchbrite radial bristle wheel if memory serves me correctly. It did leave some fine

[MBZ] Yesterday's Fun - 300D

When I adjusted valves a few weeks ago I found the valve cover seal was pretty hard. There was a spare valve cover seal in the box ‘o’ parts the PO gave me with the car, but it definitely wasn’t a Mercedes part and seemed a little hard to me, so I ordered one from the dealer. So yesterday I
