That would be interesting to do a survey of what mechanics actually drive. 

When I worked at the Oldsmobile/Honda Dealership almost all of the Honda 
Mechanics drove Hondas.  The Oldsmobile/GM mechanics were pretty well divided 
between young and old.  The older mechanics all drove Oldsmobiles.  Most of the 
younger ones drove trucks -- GM trucks. There was one exception.  He was the 
best of the heavy duty mechanics (he did transmission rebuilds, and major 
engine work).  He drove a Chrysler Town and Country Minivan.  The dealership 
had been a GMC dealer previously, so maybe that explains all the GMC trucks. 
OR, it could be because the dealership was in the Midwest and most of the guys 
were outdoorsy hunters.   One of the older mechanics was an odd fellow.  He had 
3 1980's Oldsmobiles with the 5.7L Diesel.   He loved them.   The parts manager 
drove a Ford Truck. 

There were three service managers and two drove GMC trucks and one drove an 
Oldsmobile (me).  The service director (in charge of both shops) drove a GMC 
truck with an Oldsmobile engine in it.   The dealer drove whatever the heck he 
wanted but usually it was an older Cadillac or Jaquar.  He had 35-40 collector 
cars he kept stored at the dealership that he drove on the weekends.

Yes, my response was not clear - no, I sold them so that I would not have
to continue to fix them. I'm trying to put all my time into airplanes now,
hence the new cars to buy me time before I have to work on them.

He sold them to not have to be repairing them. He thought he'd buy new(er) and 
be able to devote more time to his aircraft(s).

Which is pretty much why pro mechanics drive Toyota's and Honda's. They fix 
cars all day. That's enough.

Yes, I guess that's the way to do it.

But, as I mentioned in my reply to Max, I need to take some stuff to
Shirley in Albuquerque. So I'll drive it the way it is. Afterall, the
reason I bought this car was to drive it, not to fix it.

That sounds like what Kaleb told me but I forgot. But I need to drive
into Albuquerque to take some stuff to Shirley who is still at the
Skilled Nursing Facility.

Step 1: Caig deoxit on the connector at the sensor where you've been 
intermittently fixing it by wiggling it.

Step 2: trace the fault, if deoxit doesn't do it.

No, this engine has an oil filter cannister like an OM617. It's at the
rear of the engine and has a lid with a central rod which lifts off.

I have moved the connector for the oil pressure sensor at the base of the
filter and wiggled the harness which, I think, contains the wire from the
sensor to the gauge. That seems to help a little, with the gauge
sometimes bouncing from zero to pegged.

So, I think, something is wrong with the wire between the sensor and the
gauge. How that went wrong and how I might fix it are then the questions.

Like Mitch said, that sounds like the wire between the sender and the gauge is 
disconnected, or maybe the sender died?

Re: [MBZ] Now what do I do?

[Max Dillon via Mercedes]

Next step is remove the seat control switch (two Philips head screws).

After that, the rod that attaches to the door handle pull needs to be lifted up 
and out of its hole in the door handle.

The door handle and the plastic surround behind it can be pushed forward and 
removed.

NOW you should be able to lift the door panel up and remove.

I looked and didn't see anything -- the door speaker housing is
immediately below the armrest.


BUT I now have a more pressing problem:

I just changed the oil and filter, as well as disconnecting the battery
to clean the terminals.

When I went to start the engine, I noticed the oil pressure gauge pegged
before I had even cranked the engine.

There are two phillips head screws that go into it at an angle from below.

[MBZ] Now what do I do?

[Craig via Mercedes]

I trying to take the door for our E300D apart so I can replace the vacuum
actuator. When Kaleb dropped off the car and described what needed to be
done, it seemed simple.

Now that I have the door partially apart, it doesn't seem so simple and
I'm stuck.

I know enough to not pry the inner panel away from the door, like a W123,
but what to do next I cannot see.
