I have a couple to enter here..
Today I just changed the thernostat on my C240 which has been running at 65-70c for a year, cost £18 and took 10 minutes now runs at 85c.....
Also, previously...
Since I bought the car it clonked and rattled badly when driving along anything other than a perfect road (but always passed MOT's), then after 2.5 years I though i'd stick some new (second hand) shocks in all corners, free and an hours work.. transformed and silent, the rubber around the bottom mounting bolts was allowing about 1mm movement.
Also, the drivers window would always go lop-sided on the way up and require manual assistance to close, door card off and a quick adjustement, took 10 minutes, now works perfectly, again, I waited 2.5 years before getting around to doing this aswell.
