What Have You Done To Your Merc Today?

[Craiglxviii]

Well done chap.
Glad you had the sense to stop rather than push through it. Where final destination?

Near Perugia

The wings mirrors on my S203 were a bit wobbly and squeaked when retracted to I had the covers off.
The wobblyness was caused by the hinge pins having worked loose and out of the bottom part of the hinge and knocking it back in has solved the issue. All rubber parts were treated to a bit of silicon grease and the gear mechanism to some silicon spray.
Another little job ticked off the list.

Nope! Couldn’t find it after the move.

I’ve got full RAC Euro cover so trying to get into local MB dealership to get a diagnosis.

Really love those wheels! Wonder how they'd look on my E350 Coupe?

The other fridge fills 1/3 of the boot volume... I may end up finding another solution!

Now that's a fridge! (Stolen and adjusted somewhat, from a Crocodile Dundee movie, it's a size thing).

Finally got to do a proper wash after weeks of her being dirty. If the faint drizzle that has just started goes off I'll give her a coat of Sonax

Cut off the rusty front of the old Karcher trolley, added some stainless feet ( flange bolts and nuts )
Used up the last can of black hammerite.
And I now have a useful trolley for the race glaze filter.
It now Wont fall over, and can be moved whilst supporting the long hose, holster for the Spray Gun etc.

Paints still too soft to support the Race Glaze filter yet ...

Sometimes pays to be a squirrel
Total cost £3.00 in stainless bolts, and the remainder of a can of paint. He he he

And it was earmarked for the skip lol

My wife moans at me for being a bit of a hoarder but the amount of times I've managed to effect a running repair or make something up with the odds and sods I've got lying around in the garage/hut and get out of a tight spot has saved us a fortune over the years but largely because I've learned to hide my stuff, otherwise she bins it, she rarely gets to find out just how much I've saved us by being quite handy with the tools.

I've got a set in France....

Just 6-700 miles to get to you then!

Nice drive through the mountains mind

Is it still running ok or has it dropped into limp? If you're lucky it'll be something moderately minor like a cat under performing.

If it wasn’t for the CEL I wouldn’t know that there was a problem... no smoking, loss of power or torque, no funny sounds etc.
