Julie Andrews then (white none)? ;) No milk would be a Whoopi Goldberg...

Yes we do. Carl might not be able to make it though...

This has just inspired me to check my first aid kits. Both out of date. I won’t be able to sleep now. Down to Boots in the morning for new plasters!

I've never opened the first aid kit from my car :shock:

Did you contact the guy I sent the details in respect of your wife's dinged A Class? He'll sort your sensor for you, probably whilst he looks at the A class and for a cuppa.
Hi
Not yet, will wait till the dealer gives me a quote and assesses if anything on the subframe is pushed or bent.
Then I would know what to ask him to do.
Hmmmm big difference between Aviva .backing MB insurance and LV.!
Know for sure if its a high vslue Merc I will insist Aviva back it off!

I am surprised you can live with yourself with out of date bandages and a pushed in parking sensor, it would be nawing away at me by now to fix
Well I will sort the sensor .. cause thats a car thing
But the first aid kit tbh I wouldn't bother drive there if they offerred me a free kit.
Whalt would be amusing is to know how much they would charge you for one LOL :):)

Sub, Phil @ Welwyn charged me £120 for front bumper remove and replace. 2 hours labour. Rear bumper is easier as only 5-6 bolts and no plumbing involved.
Thanks Craig
Useful to know, sure beat main dealer £300+

I spend 15 mins today and managed to remove one of the bumper braces .. this black strap

Nice and easy, undo bolt and it slides off without effecting the bumper ... that gives one a little more room.
But not enough to push it back to click in. :(

Worked out a lever tool that might work, just being cautious as the clip welded to the bumber stands proud, so you have to push in between the grooved fins. If you were pushing the pins and it snapped, that would be a pig ... and defo bumper off. And knowing Merc ... you would have to buy the whole bumper lol!
