How do I go about finding out which MB's used a particular part? Specifically, I'll be looking for a cruise control actuator, MB Part 002 545 86 32. Is there some easy way of finding which cars used that particular actuator?

Though there is lots of info on here about alternators, one thing I have noted looking at parts catalogs is that for 81 cars, only 55A alternators are offered. On 82 cars, both 55 and 65A alternators are offered.

Curious if there is a fundamental difference from 81 to 82 (e.g. gauge of wires comeing from the alternator) that keeps them from offering 65A versions on the 81 cars. E.g. a liability thing or similar.

This morning my 82 300CD cranked show, and using my cigarette lighter volt meter, I was getting only 11.8V.

Will need to pull my alternator and verify that everything is clean, etc., but also exploring my options.

Since these cars typically have a slightly lower voltage operating than we see in modern cars, one thought is that regardless I should look for higher voltage regulators. Looking around I found an Altrom/Beru unit that is rated at 14.2V vice the 14V rating of bosch and others. I found it at Napa, part ATM GER003. More expensive than other regulators, but it is a 14.2V unit. Anyone ever try this? Any experience?


Also, anyone have an idea of the voltage regulator rating of the remy rebuilt units? The regulator doesnt have a voltage marking on it...

Is there a way to reset the phone to the original factory state? I don't have an I-phone but recall you can reset something with a paperclip.

Do you think a trip to the AT&T store will help? We have other phone contracts with them.

The socket under the dash mated perfectly and I thought it was a done deal.

Now, however, the high and low beams are reversed. The high stays on in both positions and the low goes on in high and off in low. The high beam indicator lamp is on in both positions. I assume the pins in the socket are in reversed locations on the '83 relative to the '81.

My question is this: rather than pull the socket, test with a meter to find the high/low pins, and reverse the wires there, can I just reverse them at the headlamp connector instead? If so, will that affect the indicator lamp? ]]> Diesel Discussion Carpenterman http://www.peachparts.com/shopforum/showthread.php?t=284492 http://www.peachparts.com/shopforum/showthread.php?t=284491&goto=newpost Thu, 09 Sep 2010 13:08:38 GMT Can anybody say specifically what is needed to do this?

I know that Aussie Bush Etiquette is recognized throughout the civilized world but we all need to be reminded from time to time.






In General:

1. Never take an open stubby to a job interview...

2. Always identify people in your paddocks before shooting at them.

3. It's tacky to take an Esky to church.

4. If you have to vacuum the bed, it's time to change the sheets.

5. Even if you're certain you're included in the will, it's rude to take your ute and trailer to the funeral.

Eating Out:

1. When decanting wine from the box, tilt the paper cup and pour slowly so as not to bruise the wine.

2. If drinking directly from the bottle, hold it with only one hand.

Entertaining at Home:

1. A centrepiece for the table should never be anything prepared by a taxidermist..

2. Don't allow the dog to eat at the table, no matter how good his manners.

Personal Hygiene:

1. While ears need to be cleaned regularly, this should be done in private, using one's OWN ute keys.

2. Even if you live alone, deodorant isn't a waste of money.

3. Extensive use of deodorant can only delay bathing by a few days.

4. Dirt and grease under the fingernails is a no-no, it alters the taste of finger foods and if you are a woman it can draw attention away from your jewellery.

Theatre/Cinema Etiquette:

1. Crying babies should be taken to the lobby and picked up after the movie ends.

2. Refrain from yelling abuse at characters on the screen. Tests have proven they can't hear you.

Weddings:

1. Livestock is a poor choice for a wedding gift.

2. For the groom, at least, rent a tux. A tracksuit with a cummerbund and a clean football jumper can create a tacky appearance.

3. Though uncomfortable, say "yes" to socks and shoes for the occasion.

Driving Etiquette:

1. Dim your headlights for approaching vehicles, even if your gun's loaded and the roo's in your rifle sight.

2. When entering a roundabout, the vehicle with the largest roo bar doesn't always have the right of way.

3. Never tow another car using panty hose and duct tape.

4. When sending your wife down the road with a petrol can, it's impolite to ask her to bring back beer too.
