Re: [diesel_mercedes] Instrument cluster, oil gauge specifically

 

Thanks Bill.

If no one on this group has an extra working Instrument cluster, the local Craigslist has a few folks parting out MBs, so I'll check there before going to eBay.

Anyone have an extra working Instrument cluster, or oil gauge specifically?

I went to the local PAP today, yet didn't have any luck with finding a working oil gauge, and lately haven't seen many MB diesels coming through.

The two I found today were leaking just like mine, which has now soaked the sound insulation and is staining my carpet.

Mercedessource says the oil pressure actuator assembly is common to all years and models of diesels

I know its the last resort  metaphorically speaking, the actual last resort is somewhere in Catskill, NY, but Ebay lists several complete gage clusters but also some parts that seem to include the oil pressure  part.

[diesel_mercedes] Re: Happy New Year To All & Sundry !

 

I was sitting on my back stoop at about 7PM with my pups, we were having a fine old time, my bitch between my knees and my elderly sire to the side, every so often someone would  set off a firework a few blocks away and the bitch jumped in fear .

I used to party hearty until sunup and after that got old I was the designated driver for man years, now I just stay home .

Some of the fracas' and 'adventures' I had on NYE I wouldn't wish on my enemies .

Hi Nate,
 
Happy New Year to you too.
 
New Year's Day is just about over here..  Didn't do much last night.  We were supposed to go out for dinner in nearby Geelong, watch the 'family friendly' (ie, early) fireworks and then head down to a party.  None of that happened, Karen wasn't feeling the best.
 
She still wasn't the best today, so I helped out with vacuuming, folding clothes and putting them away, making up the guest bed for a visitor this week, etc.  We did manage to go out for dinner with friends this evening, we had pizza right by the beach at St Leonards.  Very nice!
 
Cheers
 
Graeme

Here's hoping everyone has a funner 2018 than I had 2017 *:D big grin .      

 
Tom came to Pasadena for the Vintage British Moto Ride this morning and got there before me,. I had to take a circuitous route and fill my tank, change a clogged  fuel filter etc........


 
After everyone _else_ rode away to have fun (sob) we went  up to my house where Tom tried to work on his computer and I raked up 100 gallons of leaves and dirt, getting a good workout and relieving some stress via exercise .


We're forecasted rain for Thursday and my back yard is partially cemented and has a drain leading 'round the house into the street out front, it was completely filled with dry leaves as were all the concrete walkways, if I fail to clean them before a rain I have a muddy pool at my back door step so this needed doing .
 
Then I did a routine hot oil & filter change on his Mercedes 300SDL, I used my mangled hand too, it's not getting any better so I might as well work it to keep it flexible .


After that we went to Monrovia and fed & watered Jr's dogs, brought in his mail etc/, the went to Tom's Man Cave where he dropped off a few things and puttered 'round a bit then he was all done and *very* kindly took a 50 mile (each way) detour to a remote junkyard so I could get a rear view mirror for Shirley's station wagon and a couple small items for  my old Diesel Sports Coupe, thence to a nice lunch at a brandy new buffet Tom saw under construction last month . nice and clean, decent food (excellent grilled pepper shrimp on skewers) , passable service but it's NYE after all .


Back to Pasadena, Tom dropped me off and headed home, I played with my dogs a bit, watered them (I'd fed them far too much this morning so no additional food in the evening) , took a nice shower, grabbed to bottles  of bubbly then headed down to the hotel where Shirley and DeMarkis were waiting .



Shirley's sound asleep in front of the T.V., DeMarkis is waiting for midnight & watching cartoons but will prolly fade away before then ..


HAPPY NEW YEAR ! .

Dear Family, 
 
    It's been a long day, starting at 5:30 a.m.  Running around, doing errands, taking Nate to a junk yard for a 'new' mirror for Shirley's wagon.  Listening to the ongoing stress and travails of the burned house situation. 
 
    Home early, and I'm going to bed.  Talk to you all next year.  Have a happy and safe New Year's eve, and a better 2018 than 2017. 
 
Love,
Tom

[diesel_mercedes] Re: Retired

 

I hear you Eric ;

I had planned to never retire but my life and thereby health kinda caught up to me then the chickenshits @ work who were envious (stupid but true) began hassling me relentlessly, I had planned on dying "In The Traces" as it were because I loved my job for most of the thirty two years but in the end SWMBO told me to pull the pin and come home so I did, I live on a poverty budget but being a Farmer as a Child I learned how to live within my means, we'll see how well that goes .

The amazing thing was : I carefully documented theft, malfeasance, corruption and so on for decades because an Old Timer warned me to do so when I was a newbie, every so often I'd go to City Hall and ask to be left alone as I'd go straight to the newspapers the *instant*I was involuntairily separated, they'd back off for a while then begin anew .

I was never, not once caught stealing etc. and I was there during some really bad shit that  others did, oddly, the Police never wanted to interview _me_ and I usually knew the straight skinny .

Imagine gambling your career and pension for a few hundred dollars of stolen parts or a V8 Chevy engine ?! .

_Many_ did just that and far worse .
