What Have You Done To Your Merc Today?

Nice.
It also reduced your hydrocephalus as well.

Not me, but the detailer that came out. I did have a little laugh when I saw the picture. Unfortunately the bulbous arches don't make the most flattering mirror.

Quick before and after.

and the hair's growing back on the top of the head. Nice work.

It was £260. The bumpers and skirt didn't need any correction as they were only painted about 6 weeks ago so he said it was a bit cheaper than it would normally be for a large car.

He arrived at 9 and left at about half 6, the entire day he was on the go. Unbelievable work.

If anyone has an older car then this has to be the most cost effective way of getting it looking amazing again. Especially if it is of a darker metallic colour.

Well done - that's a superb finish and a cracking price!
- Too far away from me otherwise I'd call him like a shot.
- Considering the cost of travel and materials he's certainly not earning a king's ransom but it's a heck of a job for that price!

Tidied up the boot of the SLK with these :

On the left, various bottles (glass cleaner, QD etc.) and MF cloths, on the right wheel bolt sockets, locking wheel nut pack etc., instead of all laying loose. 2 velcro strips on back and bottom of each bag holds them securely, and the seperator closes over them so I can still lower the roof. Well pleased - and stops herself bitching about the mess in the boot!

Looks good! And those bags are a fair price... might go for them myself!

You might if you're careful be able to get them into the plastic slot area below the boot separator - I keep a couple of jackets in that area on mine

They sell a variety of different ones, so have a look at their other listings first, then take a tape measure to where you think you'd put one! I'd get one for the S204 except that I have a cloth type boot liner that I don't think the velcro would stick to.

 

[ajlsl600]

Maybe same as this. View attachment 59155

on roof next week. Lots going on.

Had a look this afternoon, they don't fit that space, but now I know about it I may just use it for a jacket myself!

Got up early, well early since the Covid 19 issue started, lol, and headed into Paisley to get my boot spoiler fitted.

Job done, I'm now a happy bunny.

B service complete yesterday, only thing they noted was slight corrosion in the rear brake lines, cleaned off and coated in grease. Cost of service including a full set of wiper blades (I’ve not changed them in two years) £285

That’s a good price!

Changed the battery in the key fob as I was getting the warning message on the dash display.

From my limited(but learning) knowledge of Mercedes service pricing it certainly is a good price.
Was that an Independent specialist by any chance.....seems rather cheap for a main dealer?

 

[Chrishazle]

At a main dealer you'd be lucky to get an A service for that price!

 

[V6Matty]

It certainly was my trusty local Indy, the car was only due it’s service 75 days ago. To be honest it needed very little work this time, I’ve gone out of sync with a few things so next year will be brake fluid and atf at the same time.

 

[SmartAmg]

Quick wash and dry, this morning. As you do.

 

[LostKiwi]

A nice gentle run up to the office and back this morning. Roof down of course.

Best thing is I get to do it again later this afternoon.

Very pleasant little run out.

 

[Wighty]

Came out the house this morning , spotted a flat tyre on the E class . It’s never good having a puncture , but having one on the drive is the best option .
Took it off with the plan to get a quick puncture repair , but the inside edge looked oddly worn , but not the whole way round the tyre. I’m wondering if it’s some internal damage even though I didn’t drive on the puncture .
I’m off to North Wales tomorrow so didn't fancy paying tyre shop prices for a new set of rears . I’ll order some via Tyreleader or Camskill next week .
Fortunately I had a set of winter tyres and wheels in the garage all cleaned and ready for November. These are now back on the car .

It always happens just before a trip Wighty eh?

Oh well, at least you had your winters for back up.
