What Have You Done To Your Merc Today?

Heaven.

First time out in 6 months and it started 1st time.
Giving it a nice airing now. I'd forgotten how lovely it feels. Everything built up to a standard not down to a price.

My wife’s recently deceased aunt’s property is going up for sale next week. Located in the hills outside Nice if you’re interested. Will probably be a bargain for someone as none of the beneficiaries are around to make sure they get a good price. Inheritance taxes and the laws around inheritances in France seem crazy (wife’s part will be taxed at 50%).

Booked 'Old B’ in for new rear springs. They are doing me a favour and fitting us in next week, Everywhere seems to be very busy. Potholes are good for business. £300-00 for both sides. I’m suspect I could have got it cheaper but they were recommended by a friend and were very helpful compared to others I phoned.

Booked with Autoglass for windscreen replacement. Apparently "the job is too complicated to do at home" due to safety camera dab and rain sensors requiring recalibration, so I need to make my way to a Sainsbury's Homebase carpark for the work to be carried out!

Seems that these pop up tents in carparks are technically sophisticated, anyone had experience of Autoglass doing this?

Autoglass did mine at the end of last year but at one of their workshops because of ADAS recalibration. Fortunately, their place is about 7 miles from me.

Stuck the summer tyres/wheels back on the E class , that’s both cars done now .

SBC Pump Update: Got the quote from my local Independent Specialist. £1k inc VAT to have the pump sent off for refurbishment and then refitted with all of the associated work that will take.

I'd be surprised if they can do that in a Sainsbury car park so SL500AMGSPORT will have to then take it to get his ADAS recalibrated.

They said go to carpark as only there can they recalibrate...

After some googling it appears they setup in the carpark without planning permission, applied for it retrospectively and were turned down by the Council a year ago. Surprised they are still operating there!

Tried to remove the connector from the brake vacuum sensor on my c204, to spray it contact cleaner.
I gave up after 10 minutes of fiddling with 2 flat head screwdrivers, and went back to the research phase.

Ye olde CLK rolled over to 97,000 miles , I just missed seeing 96969 though

 

[Richard Moakes]

[C216] - Driven 450 miles, most of it with a dashboard complaining about ABS/ESP messages

It threw a wobbler about 2hrs into the trip, not happy with it right now, wishing I had kept my R129 at the moment.

Bit rainbowie, I see this in qualifying yesterday, is this homage to anything specific?

Pride ??

Fitted new front brake wear sensor, old one has a crack in it, it wasn’t erroring but for ~£5 changed it.

Came across the old battery I had consigned to the barn about 31/2 years ago when I was getting a few odd errors which a new one cured (!). Just decided to put a meter on it before scrapping it. It was still giving just over 6 volts. Put it on the charger on repair mode and its now sitting at 12.4 volts and almost a full charge after sitting off charge overnight. The surprising thing is that it was the original battery in the car so is 19 years old.
Will use it in the winter to power the diesel heater if I ever have to use it without power

Was getting impatient waiting for the sun to move off the old girl so I could wash her, so washed the back end that was in the shade and now have to wait a bit longer so that I can do the rest

Took the R129 to the 75th breakfast at Goodwood this morning. A lot of fine cars there today, including a few nice Mercedes…

Yep gay pride month. That special time when we acknowledge <10% of the population & our police dance along with them instead of preventing crime..
