I was moving one of my cars out this morning to give it a run when one of my (not that near in distance) neighbours stopped on his way past and told me that his father in law had died some time ago and he had eventually been asked to sort out the the garage and shed. Told me he had found a box of tools all marked Mercedes and some had been marked as special by the deceased at some time. He's not asking for any cash for these and doesn't remember the deceased ever owning a Merc so I'm assuming the tools are definitely for earlier Mercs. I'll try and get a look at them in the next week or so and report back on what they are.

Update on the Merc tools. I went to look at them yesterday evening and found that they were in fact BMW tools! Told him to put the lot up on our DoneDeal site over here and see if anyone wants them.

When we didn't have the required tools we'd make them, still some in my tool box :D

Ditto. I made an ABC priming tool using a bike valve and wine cork that worked a treat!
