What Have You Done To Your Merc Today?

[Rotorhead500]

Some of this, different and will certainly try drying first and then treating this more like a detailer spray and then rinse one more time before a final dry

That's the stuff! Become a bit of a go-to for me (especially when discounted on Ama-Zon.

If you do get a "dry coat" on (whether spray on/wipe off or spray on applicator pad then wipe off), I've found that when you then use it as a spray on drying aid, it seemed to work better still.

(Another favourite, that now lives in the car whilst I'm away, is Turtle Wax Hybrid Ceramic 3-In-1 Spray Detailer - great for impromptu, light clean-ups and really good hydrophobic whatsits!)

Trying out my foxsur smart charger in repair mode , 6 year old battery charged to death and still no stop start turning green. Last few days I've had the charger hooked up on repair mode 12 to 16 hours at a time . This morning on the way to work , everything is green and stop start is working again. So before splashing the cash on a new battery,spend £12 on a foxsur charger and try the repair function. It's worked for me.

All loaded up - pressure washing season is here (like to get it done before our favourite utility starts whinging about reservoir levels) 2 more drives to do

Messy job, I am normally covered in mud from head to toe when I do mine!

I use a butchers apron and waterproof trousers so I can hose myself off after the job. I’ve just invested in a visor safety specs are ok but I’m sick of the splashback getting in my mouth. I enjoy doing the job looks great when it’s al done.

A an aside I see JCB are offering a very nice petrol power washer for £700 you just need to be wary and check your domestic supply is 11 litres a minute

Put 10 litres of AdBlue in the new-to-me E220 Bluetec. Still needs more to actually fill the tank so I'll be off to Halfrauds again tomorrow.

Thank you for the advice, DSK. I wasn't aware that crystallisation was still a thing - my only experience of AdBlue was on an older Sprinter van which was stored outside during the winter and used to have crystallisation issues. I had assumed that AdBlue would contain an inhibitor by now.

Nope it doesn’t and never will for the crap we get sold.

Spent most of the today with the laptop connected to my other S211 trying to get the SBC to play ball and stop the screaming dash message for brake failure. Currently off as it was a counter reset code but not 100% convinced it will stay silent.

Go to a petrol station that has hgv pumps! They usually have adblue on pump too which is much cheaper than halfrauds .

Put the 212 E350CDI on the analyser charger ready for the 1st April.

I never gave that a thought. Cheers for the tip

Just done a map update after receiving an email suggesting that there was one available. I tend to do them via download onto a USB stick now as the OTA one seems to take forever, especially with my limited mileage.

The car's now on the ground after spending the last 6 months on the lift in the garage. It's been started and driven up and down my drive a few times but apart from that, it's not really moved. It will hopefully be out for a little run round on Monday once I tax it, I did try today but the Gov website won't let me tax it from the 1st April as yet, must be scared of me pinching a couple of days.

Fresher fluid as higher turnover, also in a tank not sitting around in the sun.

I know your feeling my OTA is reading 53% and it started a week ago!

Is the USB route straightforward? It also allows rest of Europe (not that I ever go there)...

Mine used to literally take hours so I seldom use the online option nowadays.
