What Have You Done To Your Merc Today?

Nice colour combo, I hope to have a go at my wheels this year, glad I'm not going mad thinking black inners and coloured outers, first example I've seen.

It's shadow chrome - I'm not quite sure how they did it but the wheels do look very good - much preferable to gloss black and the original diamond cut silver

I wondered that but I think the spokes are too small

These were on it when I bought it they are the AMG wheels

Here is a shot of mine after a refurb. Himalayan Silver outside, gloss black inside.

Trashed my electric window and mirror controls with the iCarsoft CR Max, looks like it needs sorting on Star. Harrumph.

Filled the car up with Petrol, that’s a shame because it’s diesel.
On our spot at the caravan near Mevagissey for a long weekend. I’ll phone the RAC tomorrow to sort that out, I’m a complete t#*t.

Sitting at the side of a road waiting for the RAC. I presume this is the dreaded SBC pump error. Only 86k on the clock. I thought I would get more miles before this kicked in.

You still have front brakes but will end up with tinnitus from the beeping! Possibly a rear line burst from corrosion and the fluid will be sat on one of the undertrays. Not a mega expensive fix and you can bleed the caliper by opening the door.

Wife called the RAC, they’re coming tonight at 11:43 pm. I’ll just sit here drinking and wait for them. We had to pay them £240 in advance .

Looks like it. Get a good Indy to replace the unit and extend its life. Resetting doesn't always work.
Mine went around 80K, apart from red dash warning there were no actual braking issues, drove it about a month while the part came through from Germany.

So possibly not the SBC pump which is rather expensive from what I hear.

I drove mine around for a nice drive, to nowhere in particular.

 

[Blobcat]

I drove mine tops off up to Oxenhope to go on the Flying Scotsman then back via Bradford for some dinner

Check the master cylinder reservoir for fluid loss then look at the rear caliper brake lines that dissappear into the arches. The covers and undertrays hide the lines and corrosion, the trays hold and hide a lot of fluid.

Washed it at 9pm last night for the drive to work this morning, cobweb dispersion exercise. With the weather, roof down on the way home.

Yesterday, had a nice drive up to Suffolk for no.1 sons birthday. Stopped for supplies at the supermarket en route and was complimented on the car. It's amazing how much a small comment can make you feel

Lovely feeling.
When I got mine, took colleague out for a spin......so impressed, 2 weeks later they bought a nice white SL500. He sold it now (got the Porsche bug) but always commented on how clean and classic looking mine is.

Totally agree, Sarah, makes you feel great.

Total cost about £400, RAC send out private contractors, pointless being in the RAC, I could have phoned the fuel doctor myself. Oh well, my fault for filling it with petrol.
