What Have You Done To Your Merc Today?

[Craiglxviii]

How is Phil doing, I've struggled to get anything done this year for some reason.

Super, super busy. He was very poorly through the first half of this year and that put a lot of pressure on his fitter, Gary. He’s pretty much recovered now though. But to give you an idea, it took me 2 weeks to get an open slot just to take the car down there.

Great to hear Phil is on the mend.

Just got back from Alex Crow, Stowmarket . He changed my old engine/tranny mounts for my new Autodoc/Lemforder ones . Feels like a new car , now with 106k .
The Lemforder mounts even had the MB part number on them .
All in fitting and parts , just under £215 . I’m well pleased with that

I now have the urge to wash my hands... and not stop for a while!!

Cleared 87 plus faults on this doer upper
All lights out on dash, big bonus, it starts and runs and blows out number 5 injector

Wouldn't worry about number 5 it probably just needs a local lock-down

Didn't wash the car today.
Out and about this week about 1300Kms in various trips, this morning down a few very nice but muddy in places D roads. When I got back it was dirty enough that I wouldn't put the cover on, so I decided to wash just the lower part but then the windows looked smeared, the bonnet also then looked bad, the boot, roof and wheels also got the treatment.
Looked inside and found a lot of leaves on the mats and remembered the vacuum was still plugged in the shed and found more leaves in the boot and around the seal which then reminded me to check the front drains.
Put the cover on until I get around to washing it.

Lock down being the operative work, well and truly. They will be interesting to get out

Took the 129 up to the office and back.
Think it needs the rear wheels balancing.
