What Have You Done To Your Merc Today?

[john campbell]

Hopefully the weather picks up so I can give mine a bath......... the snow has now gone from here and the car looks filthy. The best thing about snow is that my garden looks like everyone else's garden

The Brake sensor came on last month but as my mileage is so low I will get them done soon, usually at least 1k wear left from the warning

The Service I was expecting as it is due, the 30 day warning came on on xmas day.

Been going through loads of screen wash.

The bulbs I did think was odd as it is both inside ones but I will get them changed tomorrow and see what happens.

Oh and a Front Parking sensor fault (double red lights), only happens when it is really wet or cold!!!! Will get that diagnosed

Just priced the Brakes up £167.66 from ECP and £171.70 from GSF for Brembo disks and pads with a Pagid sensor so not too bad

I would keep away from the brembo discs and pads as I have fitted a few sets and every one has complained about brake squeal at low speeds. Ended up keeping the discs but changing the pads to pagid

It has Pagid on the front ATM and Brembo Rears, no issues

Never had an issue with squeal on mine with Brembos since i stopped using copper slip and went onto ceratec grease

This has got to be a bit of a rarity??

No triple foam today?

 

[V6Matty]

Wish I could use one, went to one the other day to find it wasn’t working due to everything being frozen

 

[John Laidlaw]

My cars are just remaining dirty!

 

[A.J.]

Rather do the job myself. Did mine on Sunday morning, clean for another day or so

Well nearly, I was foaming at the mouth when they charged us £5 and then said, 'Oh by the way no prewash, Government Covid rules'

Swapped the front wheels from right to left. Completely forgot I had done this earlier this week, then noticed my car driving in a straight line, wheel alignment Man did a good job

That's BS - although at this time of year wash 1 is good enough

When I went back with my car I asked for 'Wash 1 please' (£3.50).......No difference really apart from the under chassis application.
The cheapest wash is £1.99 this comes with no pre wash! So now thinking about it, Wash 1 comes with pre wash, today they say no pre wash so surly this is now a £1.99 wash, not a £3.50 wash!!

The 55 needs a wash so might go back there later on and tackle them about this.
