KBB shows 7800 to 10 with a high of 10400 for that car. But being a Mich car I wouldn't go more than 7500. On Sat,5/6/17 08:54, Mitch Haley via Mercedes wrote: Five digits seems a bit high to me... https://lansing.craigslist.org/cto/6078169804.html ___

Re: [MBZ] 210 diff

Real Vice grips, the old ones, as an assist. Or after you strip them, vice grips and a hammer. Or you can remove the cover, pull the clips and let the stub hang with the axle, same as the one piece. Easier Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes May 6, 2017 at 3:58

Re: [MBZ] 210 diff

Well the diff is out of the car. I want to remove the cover to see the damage but I guess I don't have a set of triple square sockets or whatever they call it. I need to go ahead and order a new flex disk so hope to finish it next week. Sent from my iPhone > On May 6, 2017, at 4:50 PM,

[MBZ] W115 300D 1976 - neutral safety switch bypass

Hello everyone, I've determined that my 300D's neutral safety switch is kaputt. Wiggling the shifter works OK, but diminishingly so, and yesterday it took five minutes (at the gas station!) to get the starter to fire. I'll order a new switch on Monday, but in the meantime I'd like to bypass

The switch should be on the transmission somewhere. - Max Charleston SC On Sat, May 6, 2017 at 6:14 PM, David Bruckmann via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > Hello everyone, > > I've determined that my 300D's neutral safety switch is kaputt. Wiggling > the shifter works OK,

A friend of mine who used to be into rolls royces bought one from Canada. He flew up, rented a uhaul truck, drilled holes on the floor in order to tie the car down and loaded in the back and drove it down across the border. Sent from my iPhone > On May 6, 2017, at 7:00 PM, Dan Penoff via

3500+ miles one way from my house. A *bit* farther than I want to go. The transportation expense would reduce the purchase budget significantly. Maybe southern BC, but this place is almost as far north as the southern tip of Alaska. -D > On May 6, 2017, at 8:15 PM, Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes

Re: [MBZ] W115 300D 1976 - neutral safety switch bypass

Dunno about 115, but I think it is pretty much the same as 123. I did that on 123 by pulling the gearshift surround. On the 115, you may have to pull the whole console. The switch lives above the trans and in front of the shifter. With a wiring diagram, you can probably do it under the
