What Have You Done To Your Merc Today?

[Srdl]

Bought an MB Extended Warranty for it. £713 for two years which seemed very reasonable.

That does seem pretty reasonable, which means MB have a high confidence level which is nice to see

Down to 50mph on the bit of M42 and M5 I did with wipers wiping frantically. The amount of spray off the road from HGV's and cars was amazing yet a few people passing me heading into the oblivion - there was no way they could see far enough ahead to spot any hazards. As I was getting off at a slip road overheads signs flashed up "accident ahead" - what a surprise.....

My new Eagle F1's were brilliant in the wet. No loss of traction in the wet when pulling away smartly.

According to the meeedja and guvverment there are no HGV drivers, were the HGVs parked up?

Perhaps they have Distronic / distance assist or similar so don't need to be able to see

Washed it, took apart and cleaned and polished the walnut parts of my interior, put some sound dampening mats in the trunk and below passengers and drivers seats, rewired my aftermarket speakers and radio and hid the cables better than the last owner (he did a horrible job), and finally repainted my floor mats so they are actually black instead of greyish brown.

Done a few miles now in 'The Money Pit' and no other issues apart from needing another TC and Transmission, 'orrible to drive when cold, feels like it wants to go into reverse at slow speeds I can remedy this by going faster

Well Bambi passed its M.O.T so my excuse to avoid a new motor continues.

Clearly the new wiper blade won the day.

Finished off the rear brake pipes ,clipping them in place, remounting the undertrays , then a successful road test , my only concern is if the brakes will be up to MOT standards after a this time off the road ?.

Use them gently to clear off any rust build up and the should be fine

I did exactly BC but the fronts look past it so ive ordered new discs / pads

 

[JBell]

Looked for it's replacement, was staggered by the prices and total lack of choice

Just spent an hour or so on my 215s nsr lamp unit , had a tail lamp out , found the tab in the unti had snapped , figured a way round the issue now all work correctly

Do you reckon that when the new car chip shortage eases the market is going to be flooded with second hand cars as people revert back to buying new again ? Might be worth waiting until next year

 

[Timeandleisure]

I would think so, especially if they have made money on it, given the current prices on the higher specs, I have seen! Trick, I believe is timing selling just right.

Spoke to a dealer friend, that is exactly the problem. Lack of new cars has made supply short for second hand ones so the prices have gone up.

I will be waiting until Jan / Feb them, look again.

Don't panic it will have a MB Star on the front
