[diesel_mercedes] Re: tires for my 240D

 

I went to Cosco (Spokane)yesterday. 100 mile drive(each way). Bought a Subaru too. Everything is changing. I'm never leaving home again. Got a bad headache. I'm too old for that stuff. Max

[diesel_mercedes] Re: tires for my 240D

 

Depending on what your priorities are, initial price or cost over the long haul, I'm raving about the Nokian EnTyres on my 300D and 190D. Quiet and have very low rolling resistance. Got a noticeable bump in fuel economy in both cars.

I need new tires soon too, so I'm waiting for Costco to put out a
Michelin discount coupon, then check what the other tire stores have in
comparison.

Citroen owned Maserati for about five years thus producing the "Citroen
SM" and its distant cousin the Maserati Merak.

[diesel_mercedes] Re: Recommended junkyard tools

 

the dolly is v useful. Esp in the PAP I go to, the MBs are at the very far end. I also leave most of the tools in the car and try to carry the ones I think I will need depending on what I want to get.

300sd 1984, 260k+ miles

Re: [diesel_mercedes] Digest Number 4924

 

Yes I took it apart & got rid of the big volcano on the contacts.  However I
think it's the capacitors that went bad.  34 years and 400k miles is plenty of
time for it to live.  Instead of tearing apart the board and putting new
capacitors which BTW is just a guess.  It's probably just cheaper and easier to
find the original relay and count to ten.  I've seen them with the old style
glow plugs for 101 dollars.  I just need the relay as I"ve gone to the fast
parallel plugs.   Think a used one will last a while?  Really don't mind if the
new ones are built as well as the old ones.  400k and 34 years is good for any
part. Lawrence Rhodes....

Just ask Brian to grab one on his up coming P-A-P jaunt .

Have you take the old one apart for cleaning & polishing of the contacts yet ? .

I know new ones are available making the amoratized price very low indeed .

I really don't think the push button Ford relay set up to be a wise idea except
in extreme cases because too short a heating interval means hard starting &
cylinder/injector coking , excessive starter wear , whilst over heating will
cause short glow plug life , this is why the early cars had the " Salt Shaker "
illuminating device and the later cars all went to the timer relay ~ in the long
run it's cheaper and more reliable .

I thought it was a licensing deal.  I recall that Citroen was exchanging tech tweaks with Maserati somewhere along in there too..

Sourced from?  No.  Aped/stolen from:  Yes.

Which may mean Nate would not have to swap cylinder heads.  Maybe he can simply figure a way to mount the pump off a DS.

Did the 450SEL 6.9 use a pump separate from the head or block?

We drove it up to Ventura to chat with the Body & Paint guy yesterday , four adults & windows down as the AC quit .

439 miles , 27.1 MPG ~ lots of rapid acceleration too ~ this Wagon goes like a scalded car when I tromp the throttle .

The Hydraulic SLS rear suspension works a treat too ~ it never dips , wavers , bottoms out no matter what .

SWEET ! .

I should prolly go find a junked Wagon and scavenge this SLS system for my Coupe .

Of course that would entail changing the cylinder head but still and all it's a simply _marvelous_ suspension system .

I recommend a little folding (collapsible) dolly so you can lug around your tools. But, you really can get by with very little if necessary (maybe 10 lbs) of wrenches, screwdrivers, and sockets. I leave the heavy stuff in the car and if I need my 3 pound hammer, I will walk out to the car and get it.

Recommended junkyard tools,

I am in need of some parts for a few of my cars. Antenna and some dash
trim for a 123, and a grill, tailight, seatbelt and dash trim for the
126. Tie rod for my jeep.

Since the pick and pull is having a half off sale, I figured it's a
good time to go. I don't get around as well as I used to, and I don't
really want to lug a big box of tools around with me.

Allot of you guys regular the places, what tools would you recommend?
