Just pressed the GO button on some front suspension arms and drop links for the E class from Autodoc (they have a sale on) went for Lemforder again . £200 all in so pretty pleased with that .
Ive had a knock which is very hard to hear but is irritating. Other noises earlier in the year I got rid of by changing the front control arms and ball joints .
I had been waiting until Autodoc was restocked with Lemforder and had a sale on .

I’ve used them a few times and even done returns , with no issues . They are £80 cheaper than ECP on this order . You just need to wait 10 days for delivery , but I doubt I’ll do them for at least a month .

Earlier this year , maybe March/April ? I’m sure it will be fine Pal . Either way I paid the £3 for a 200 day no questions return . So worst case if they need doing early I’ll buy from ECP and return the Autodoc ones ;)

I've been looking to find a W211 320 that fits the requirements for a while. Possibly have found her!! Await e mail response from dealer.
Love these cars.

What I haven't done more like.

Due to this summer's rain the carpet AMG mats aren't going to make it in this late in the year to swap with the rubber.

Finally fitted the third row seatbelt, no wonder the darn thing had been cut off, so much trim to remove and so much time in fitting :shock:
While the trim was off I got the load cover thingy working again and the parking sensors. Plus towbar is all done and sorted :cool:

Got rid of the last litre of AdBlue in the container I bought by topping the car up.
should be good until next year now.
And the "cupboard of doom" has one less thing in it!

Yesterday we took the Money Pit for a drive to London on a collection service and meet up with friends visiting from New Zealand and it returned 42.6mpg :) Even better still, no issues or more expense to fork out :eek: I got to see so much more being ferried about too :cool:

I was going to wash merc today, but it's raining here now at the moment, so that's one job being done for me. If the wind would get up a bit more, I might even get a jet wash lol.
