Re: [diesel_mercedes] Minor Miscellaneous Tasks

 

1. DONE - 1 hour for both cars. Getting too old to crawl onm a creeper.   Semi annual Oil & Filter

2. DONE - Drained, flushed, and filled (both cars stay on 85C (175F) and make me smile.  Drain the radiator on Mary and put in MB orange juice. 

3. DONE - New primary fuel filters for both cars. Did big filters last year.

#4-#9 are pending. Got to rest first:

4. New glow plugs for Mary, although may wait for reamer to see if carbon build up is shortening life.

5. Change rubber muffler donuts on both cars, and twist one coat hanger loop as insurance on each muffler.

6. See if I can spot where Mary's oil leak comes from (I buy $1 bag of cat litter every 3 months but that is getting old). Ditto for Martha's trannie leak. 

7.  Check and change fuses on both cars.

8. Photo all the accumulated PAP parts in both cars and home so I can remember what I have.

9. Take a look at my wifes seat (Martha) to see why it slips when I sit in it. Also, look at the trannie shifter to see why it is not locking in park. Maybe take the door panel off and replace the map case (repaired with Goop) with a pristine one found at a PAP. See if I can shave a little rubber from the recently replaced door seal which now requires some muscle to close.
