Nice day for a top down drive around West Yorkshire, not much better than a nice sunny day, a tank full of motion lotion and a nice clean car...

I have washed it as I’d been in a quarry with it last week so it was a bit in need of a bucket...:rolleyes:

Is they such a thing as a nice drive around west yorkshire?

Very much so, just need to know the roads and avoid the traffic :p

Top down in winter sun, don’t need to blast around, just enjoy the drive :)

I opened my main battery & topped up all cells with DI water. The CTEK has been connected all night so im hoping that it comes back to life :)
I will check the battery voltage tomorrow via Carsoft to see :)

Quick (1 hour) oil and filter change on the CLk using the Pela pump (and a large Tea on the go ) . Noticed the mileage trip meter was at 77777 miles when I did it :D .
Good for another 5000 miles now .

I noticed the s class had started to grow moss on the top of the door. Couldn't have that, so I gave it as quick a wash as I could.

Started at 2:30pm and just finished now.....how do people do quick washes?

Opened the boot lid on the SLK, now have 3 convertibles that pour water in to the boot :mad:
I knew the drain hose was the culprit here, so took tempory make shift measures with the sponge strigicely placed to catch the water. Now water is pouring in like the R230's on the right side :rolleyes: hmmmm

If you didn’t have bad luck, you’d have no luck at all. :(

I thought I wasn’t doing that well, there’s always someone worse off :(

Mercedes are starting to fall out of favour with the Missus :eek: 'Our Renault never broke down, nor leak'! :oops: Not a good response to my favourite car :(

I drove it, freshly cleaned, for a visit in North London.

It became clear that there is a blocked sunroof drain......it never ends!
