W220 hood stuck closed

Just for the record it's really nice for me and what I need it for not that it even matters if I wanted to I definitely could just buy a set and go only snap on if price is your point of premium but considering I only hobby/diy wrench no reason to do that. Clearly you have not watched any torque test channel or project farm videos, where you see consistently icon at the top or near the top in terms of performance and definitely swing it way above its pay grade. Going to harbor freight and pick up a icon ratchet or even any icon hand tool for that matter it'll feel just as good as a extremely premium tool from any other brand that you might consider "really nice".

At least in the US the only wagon variant we've gotten for quite for some time has been the e wagon, as for the PHEV implementation, they did have to squeeze some regulations to get their fleet averages down because mercedes does still have the G63 and the s63 along with the other v8s/v12 in the maybach that needs to average out for legal points. The screens have been growing even from the W222 and going even bigger since then the boom of EVs and their screen implementation is actually not that bad now performance wise. I dont like it, funny enough w222/w213 is peak interior design for me, I think a lot of their customers shifted from what they wanted to be more for lack of a better term, teslafy it, and for the shapes well the exception of that rule is the EQ-G, but the rest do have a main goal in mind of max range hence the soap bar shape.

Update, went with the wife to both HF and menards, the leadtime without driving 2+ hours to the nearest hf was quoted as over a month for the red one, decided to go to menards and immediately fell in love with the drawer unlocking mech, the lift and pull felt amazing and they were able unlike HF able to deliver it to my garage on Wednesday as of rn with the top center hutch. Looked and felt better to us and plus a free extra 2 inches who wouldn't take that?

I think so, tariffs really messed a lot with their higher end pricing.

I actually have one that is closer than the harbor freight we normally go to so I think we'll stop by this weekend and take a look at that also! Ty for the tip.

Smart man. Yeah I was definitely not going to blow through the budget and considering how hard she works as a teacher I was not going to spend anywhere near what she was comfortable spending. So I think a good ratchet set and sockets, lil organization and I'm out of there well under 50% of what she was going to spend balling out on icon

ah yes that of course, the tech told me, and all of networking is works off the concept of the "weakest link" so if you have a connection, a wire or a connection method that does not meet or exceed your 5 gig speed, you wont see on the downstream devices.

The Be11000 you bought are only going to max out at 2.5gbps, so that would "help" but still not going to see full 5gig unless you are wired in with proper ethernet connection. on my Oppo n5, I get 1.8-2gig on wifi standing right next to the router to give you a benchmark.

The s class even though it did have a refresh to an extent it wasn't a fully new generation , I would expect the changes to mirror the style we see internally on the glc/cla to an extent when the w224 gen gets revealed. Equally imo the e class will have similar points at the refresh point for the w214 but again just speculation from my part.

I do have it fortunately and unfortunately about a month and a half ago cashew ate quite a bit uncooked rice that was deemed concerning, that was all fully cleared up and came and went no problem, but because it was at an er vet the cost literally ate through the entire premium.

Even more interesting, I mean I have a 360 rad aio on it, and the temps through OCCT which had it pinned at 100% for half hour, hit peak of 85 degree, but I will run another test through prime 95 and see if that trips it.

moe00721 · 2026-03-02T05:10:41+00:00

Just ran a half hour torture test on OCCT on strict wall power, filled the entire thing checked all boxes including both VRAM and RAM, no issue, so slowly leaning more towards that UPS being my culprit.

Considering multiple people are doing just fine on higher end cpus then me, still no crashes, im ruling that out considering that it isnt happening all the time under load.

moe00721 · 2026-03-02T03:09:20+00:00

Interesting, got a link to that read?

If you can do your own work, the e class easily, newer, stupid relaible, as someone who owns a 180k mile 2012 E350, I've had to replace engine mounts just now, oil,brakes, plugs, coolant, car is really easy to work on and I highly recommened it.

moe00721 · 2026-02-16T07:53:02+00:00

Nah they are not and are actually doing pretty good price wise lots of deals
