Re: [diesel_mercedes] Computer V8rus Help ?
Re: [diesel_mercedes] Fluids/MMO/Lucas/....
I have gone to auctions and seen good buys and watched people overbid as the frenzy escalates. Just write down what you want (need) and write the price you are willing to pay down - and then stop bidding when you reach your plateau. I mean, who in their right mind needs 25 cases of Campbells Chicken Noodle Soup?

There's an auction in Massachusetts in a couple of weeks. It is about
1/2 hour from work. I figured I'd head down and see if I can stock up.
The auctioneer is Pesco. Auction is in Lawrence MA. They are
auctioning 71 pages of oils, waxes, lubes, and auto tools. I need to
price out the MMO and Power Service products. Along with other products
than I can store and not go bad.
Has anyone gone to an auction and seen good buys? Or does the
excitement drive people to overpay?
It's a 15" buyers premium, with on site and cash discounts.

Re: [diesel_mercedes] Computer V8rus Help ?
Do you mean "AVG" the free anti virus program (they have a pay one also)? I use AVG on one computer and Avast on another (and have used Norton and McAfee in the past). You should be able to just re-download AVG (or Avast). Or, if you think AVG is still installed but you just can't see it, go to "start/All Programs/AVG" and click on user interface (in my case) - and make a short cut then drag it to your desktop.

[diesel_mercedes] Re: Computer V8rus Help ?
Nate, I did a query on avg (I did not know what it was) and came up with these potential tips.
1. Right click the icon if there is one on the task bar at the bottom of the screen,or if it is not there, go to programs and right click the program to set the options such as whether to run or not run at startup. Click run, and reboot.
2. I use avast for my virus protection, free for a year, and no problems so far.
Not being a computer guru, my suggestions are what I would do to try to solve the issue. But I would put at least a nickel on the settings of the software being at fault. Once they are reset, the icon should show up, and the software should be running.
Hope it goes well for you.

[diesel_mercedes] Re: Mary's Road Trip
Well ;
I'm in the NE L.A. Metro area but , I'm no longer running a repair shop .
I hope you have a GREAT trip and take lotsa pictures to share with us .
I'm getting to the age where I want to begin taking my dogs (Chihuhuas) in the car with me in spite of the hair & dander....
I firmly believe in Proactive Vehicle Maintenance , this is why I'm always taking something waaayyyyy too far apart as I dip in and find little niggly things that bug me so I keep on at it until it's done to my satisfaction . this allows me to spend all my time either driving clapped out old Vehicles all over the place , or working on them...... =8-) .
It sounds like you have a good Mechanic there , treat him well and you'll do fine .
If you're going on a long road trip , is the top tank of your radiator plastic or metal ? the plastic ones have an unnerving habit of breaking without warning , for no particular reason , after this happened to me in Korea Town L.A. @ rush hour , I decided to replace all my radiators proactively and do routine cooling system citric flush etc. , since then everything's jake , no further issues .
Tom's W-126 is running a bit warm these days so we're trying to schedule the time to do an involved deep water jacket cleaning .
There are _scads_ of W-123 wagons out there , early , non turbo ones are cheap but look closely as some have been hammered and can be money - pits .

So now the 300D has 2 new rear axles, new rear brakes and rotors. I'm a chick, so I had no idea about the brakes and my previous mechanic did NOT alert me to this when he saw the car 6 months ago or I would have done the brakes before rotors were needed...new guy is more knowledgable and showed me the rotors - he is very good about showing me what is wrong and explaining to me why something needs to be done. Anyhow, the W123 runs great and should be really fun to drive on the road trip. Hubby had brain surgery in January, so I will be the driver the whole way and he has never seen this part of Oregon or Washington State. The dog loves the back seat of the 300D, much prefers it t our Toyota Rav4 (guess he likes to travel in style).

[diesel_mercedes] Re: Rain is wet
I've been pondering this ' Mediterranian Climate ' thing a few days now , I just so .
As it turns , I got some free Prickly Pear ears and planted them , then to-day at lunch the Gardener had left a big box of cuttings and some yanked out succulents with roots so I grabbed three succulents and will plant them to - morrow , see what happens .
I'm not sure what " Plumeria " is ? . linky to pix perhaps ? .

"TWISP – It's shaping up to be the latest reopening in 20 years for the North Cascades Highway. Up to 15 feet of snow has fallen in the last month and the avalanche danger is extreme, forcing the reopening to begin later than normal this year."
I took this off their web site, lots of really neat pictures there.
It's Colville, but there is a Coleville in California, on Hwy. 395. Are you driving your Mercedes? Max
