What Have You Done To Your Merc Today?

[LostKiwi]

How did you fix..?

Right front height sensor was playing up - hit it with a can of WD40 and some spray grease on the links and all good again

 

[John Laidlaw]

Oh my eyes, badges everywhere!!!!!

And chrome Jon, Chrome.....mmmmmm

Somebody got grass-stained knees for that picture!

Aha....wrong! That’s not grass as we know it!

He's just not very tall

Took the 215 out for its new journey to work. 27 miles each way. Ride is as beautiful as ever but there’s a creaking noise coming from the right rear corner- please someone tell me it’s a rubber thingy that can be replaced for cheap!

Also- OMG are all my cars filthy. Inside and out.

Yes , it's a rubber thingy that is a real cheap fix !!

Still procrastinating the sale of yours

He is indeed....

I second that!

Potential foray to Canada may have aided levels of procrastination...!

Genuflecting on the AstroTurf!

Hah! You with your clean black car... how I'll laugh the instant you decide to drive it and winter muck comes a-lookin' for somewhere to rest

Seriously- looking gorgeous as always John, let me know when you've got ten minutes spare to come and do mine!

Admired my reversing cam - doesn't look like a home-made contraption, even if I say so myself he he

Very nice mod. Going off at a tangent somewhat, the star badge, is that a standard 169 part?

Thanks Chris
I wanted one mounted within the release button, so had to upgrade the handle - the old one had a rubber push button - you can't make that shorter ...

The star is another 'naughty' mod, not a standard 169 issue at all.
It's illuminated red, when the number plate lights are on
