Stembureau’s Lisse EU verkiezingen 2024 – Google Maps

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/06/06

Even een kaartje want de gemeente heeft alleen een lijst adressen en omdat we daar relatief nieuw zijn en ik straatnamen nauwelijks kan onthouden (ik ben meer visueel ingesteld): [Archive] Stembureau’s Lisse EU verkiezingen 2024 – Google Maps.

In het kader van “eventual consistency” zijn sommige markeringen nog blauw in plaats van rood (ik heb ze allemaal rood gemaakt, maar Google loopt daarin bij tonen wat achter).

De bron is [Wayback/Archive] Gemeente Lisse: Stembureaus:

Tranen van emoties: opnieuw op het podium in ‘t Onderdak in Sassenheim. Dank Cresendo, Willem, Micheline en Jos!

[Wayback/Archive] Thread by @jpluimers on Thread Reader App – Thread Reader App

Moe, voldaan en onder de paracetamol ben ik dankbaar dat @CrescendoSassem me, ondanks mijn beperkingen, 2 maanden terug vroeg een percussieplek in te vullen.

Afgelopen zaterdag in totaal 4 uur met ze op het podium geweest met Shaffy & Brass.

Het ging boven verwachting.

DHL Verpakkingtips – YouTube

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/05/31

De meeste tips liggen voor de hand, maar toch fijn om ze op een rijtje te hebben: [Wayback/Archive] Verpakkingtips – YouTube

  • Neem een stevige doos
  • Hergebruik eventueel een doos die je ontvangen hebt
  • Van een hergebruikte doos: haal eerst alle labels eraf
  • Vul de doos aan met vulmateriaal:
    • Eierdozen
    • Kranten
    • Papierproppen
    • Keukenpapier
  • Plak goed dicht
  • Zorg dat het verzendlabel goed zichtbaar is met de complete barcode

Lidl Refill station: helaas alleen voor navulverpakkingen wasmiddel/wasverzachter, niet voor de originele flessen

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/05/24

Laatst bij een Lidl Zwanenburg: de linker helft van hun refill station.

[Wayback/Archive] 333612061-89749634-c0a5-4273-a120-5e4ce6b99aed.png (1383×1037)

Het werkt alleen voor de navulverpakkingen, niet voor de normale flessen.

Die navulverpakkingen zijn een stuk minder robuust dan de flessen wasmiddel (we gebruiken geen wasverzachter).

We hebben geen oude navulverpakkingen meer liggen, dus kunnen het niet daarop testen.

 

Maar goed: het is een stap in de goede richting.

210mm x 99mm Blank Label Template – Microsoft Word – EU30032

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/05/13

I tried archiving the page 210mm x 99mm Blank Label Template – Microsoft Word – EU30032 and the template http://templates.uk.onlinelabels.com/TemplateFile/eu30032-template/EU30032.doc, but that fails because that site refuses to be archived in the WayBack machine and Archive.is.

So here is a local copy of [WayBack] eu30032.doc.

    There are 3 Rectangle Labels per page with each label being 210 mm wide and 99 mm high.There is a 0 mm gap between the label rows and 0 mm gap between the label columns to determine whether you can create your design with bleed or not. Whilst producing the design, due to printing restrictions on digital presses, you must consider that there is a 0 mm margin on both top and bottom of the sheet, and 0 mm margin on left and right hand side of the sheet.

    Please read your printer manual carefully as each printer has a printing tolerance of up to 2 mm. You must accommodate this tolerance by producing your design with enough bleed and/or leave enough gap between the label contents and the label cut line.

Mercedes R171 SLK fuel pump/filter replacement links”

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/05/12

Some links to give us an impression how much work replacing the broken fuel pump in a R171 SLK is.

Just in case it isn’t the fuel pump but just the fuel pump fuse or fuel pump relay: there are 5 places where fuses and relais are situated in the R171:

  1. Engine Pre-Fuse Box
  2. Engine Compartment Fuse Box
  3. Instrument Panel Fuse Box
  4. Luggage Compartment Fuse Box

The last one has these fuel pump related IDs:

  • Fused function Amp
    4 Fuel pump assembly 20
  • Relay
    A Fuel pump relay

Articles/videos:

Via:

Fuel pump articles/pictures

Short steps:

  1. Empty tank with siphon until it is below 30%
  2. Empty trunk
  3. Put trunk lid in the topmost position
  4. Remove all lining from trunk
  5. Remove plastic trunk/roof luggage divider parts
  6. Unscrew electronics panel so it lowers down

Now you can check fuse and relay. If both are OK, then continue below, otherwise reverse steps 6. through 1.

  1. Remove metal lid that was partially hidden behind the electronics panel (be careful with the long wires: bundle them safely)
  2. Move the insulation between above lid and fuel tank up
  3. Disconnect the wiring from the round plastic tank entrance cover
  4. Remove round plastic fuel tank entrance that is behind the insulation so you can access the inside of the fuel tank
  5. Pull the fuel pump assembly from the fuel tank
  6. Disconnect the fuel pump assembly
  7. Disassemble the fuel pump assembly
  8. Swap the old and new pump
  9. Reverse steps 13. to 1.
  10. Test after reversing step 10.

Most important video is the one below about a SLK 55 AMG (it works for any R171).

Videos (roughly in the order you need them)

Separate video: [Wayback/Archive] Fuel pump mercedes slk 2005 read description!!! – YouTube (shows the location of the fuel pump)

Way better video, though much larger video with lots (~5 minutes) of prequel: [Wayback/Archive] MY 2005 SLK55 AMG GETS A NEW FUEL SYSTEM REFRESH – YouTube

The actually interesting bits:

  1. 05:45 parts (way more than actually needed)
  2. 07:55 full removal instructions

Parts:

  • Not needed: Mercedes Fuel Tank Sending Unit – A1715420617 (EUR 50-150)
  • Not needed: Electric Fuel Pump- A2114702194 (EUR 300-500)
    This is actually the full pump assembly which is costly.
    If you don’t damage the plastic, you can get away with just the pump itself which is way cheaper.
    Needed: Just Electric Fuel Pump – V30-09-0052 (EUR 100-200)
  • Needed: Fuel Pump Tank Seal  – A171471027964 (EUR 10-20)
  • Optionally needed: Fuel Filter – A1714701090 (EUR 200-300)
    Depending who you ask, this needs replacing every 5-15 years or every 150k km/miles.
