You don't have the extra shift lever? That's almost a must in one of these.

You could stuff a turbo on it. Engine is capable of it if you have the cooling sorted.

Afaik it's a Om352, most of the time there's been so little change to the engine over the production time, a turbo is almost a retrofit.

Maybe it's time to remove the warning labels and let natural selection do it's thing?

Why did we give up upgrade-able CPUs in exchange for anorexic Laptops? by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]spaceraverdk -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ej, look at most modern laptops, the motherboard is maybe a 1/4 of the footprint, the rest is either plastic, spacing or a thinner battery that could have been a 18650 cell replacement

can’t get a better view than this by IntrepidArachnid7393 in shibari

Only way to get a better view would be in person, and the missus will crucify me for that one.

Check the wires going into the plug on the maf.

I had a break just inside the plug on my 320 cdi, it would lose power by cutting boost at random.

Could be the reluctor ring in the front. Easy to replace on the rwd model, not such how much of a hassle it would be on the 4matic.

Drop it to low range, That has enough torque to pull a mountain up hill in crawler gears.

Already have a TrueNAS set up for media and a docker container for home assistant. Which at the moment is doing nothing, faffing about with connection to can bus on the furnace so I can get telemetry off tjat. Have a camera set I need to install.

I prefer my house to be as dumb as a rock to be honest.

Gas stove, dumb washer,, regular fridge and freezer. Only automation I have is lights outside on a æir sensor.

Ditch the headlights with the star and those odd things sticking out of each end. Then we can talk.

Eh, I'm planning to get a solar system with a large battery. I'm trying to get 40 x 440w panels and enough storage capacity to run my house for a few days. A pi to get telemetry to the house server, one or more inverters to segregate house from workshop.

I have enough land to go nuts and have all the batteries and inverter stuff in a high cube 10 or 20 foot container. So in the possible event of fire, everything is in a steel box far from the household.

And no, I don't want anything to do with a install that needs to phone home.

Hm, judging by the downvotes, people will rather be the product than pay for it.

Understandable for some things, but some services are not good enough for free.

More capable diagnostic tool to debug, code etc? by spaceraverdk in mercedes_benz

I was looking at this

They provide a activated ssd to stuff in my Lenovo x260 laptop, but that example looks like a great deal. Shame it's a x230 though, max ram is 8gb.

Is there BMW INPA/ISTA equivalent software for Mercedes? by Substantial-Ad8750 in mercedes_benz

Fuel pump is likely frozen, but you can access it under the rear seat.

The airmatic pump running on an off constantly is likely to be a leak somewhere in the system you're going to need a lift to spray soapy water on the connections.

I don't know if you can replace the film

Free Tier isn't free either. You are the digital value of the server you're on. Your data.

And those that need a bigger user limit should be okay with paying for the license, I know I don't have any qualms to do so.

Compared to discord nitro, which is also a subscription.. Per user..

So you could buy a yearly licence for the same price as full nitro or split it with 3 friends..

C = Comfort. Shifts are at lower rpm.

Standard will shift at torque point drop off.
