if I could get over the running costs I would get one. Lovely example.

Just bought all filters and engine oil service packs to do both my 215 and a friend’s 219. £245 all in.

Fresh MOT for the CLK , advisory on rear brake pads though . I'll probably do rear disc and pads .
Also thinking of doing the rear springs because one of them had some rust in the centre and I've got a couple of euro trips to do this year .

It's like you are running a garage service buddy . Must admit I'm thinking of banking some ECP sale service stuff for the CLK as well , before the deal runs out

I fixed this, but can you detect what was wrong..........Only highly skilled Mercedes-Benz trained technicians need reply

Something looks a bit suspect with that near pad.....

Just a bit

 

[RhodieBill]

Not wrong there - must have been done at a Mercedes Dealership!

And on closer inspection isn't the Wear Sensor supposed to go on said Pad as I though the Sensor was supposed to go on the opposite side of the Connector.

..................Been making a metallic tingling sound since I fitted new discs and pads, must be getting old

Nearly, but I wont advertise my services

Maybe I got that wrong too!

Got any scenic high pass shots of the old girl buddy ?

Just come over the Kirkstone Pass heading down the aptly named “The Struggle” into Ambleside - (the “old girl” is just about visible in the passenger seat ‘

Know it well from struggling up it in Land Rovers!

Yes and no. It was nice to have the power on the steeper sections but would have been better without a passenger . No because I’m still not sure about the width of the car so narrow sections and blind bends have me worrying about kerbing an alloy or catching some bodywork on a sticky-out piece of dry stone walling.

One of the best bits was exercising the twin turbos on the fast sections of A66 round Keswick. Mrs L is feeling a bit off-colour today so didn’t fancy another walk this afternoon which meant I got to spend a very pleasant couple of hours driving on a lovely mix of roads while she enjoyed the scenery.

My Smart convertibubble was great in the Lakes, great view and narrow enough to be able to make good progress
