What Have You Done To Your Merc Today?

[onefortheroad]

Missed the bucket a bit . Rear diff oil change . 31000 miles , you can see it's manky.

The wick works very well especially the stuff that is pretreated with flux. If you don’t already do it, put flux on unrested wick before desoldering works a treat.

Yes, a drop on the braid helped.

Driven it back from Madchester airport - started first time after sitting for nearly 12 days - it was bound to as (a) it lives on a battery conditioner at home when I don’t use it and (b) I had put my jump pack in behind the drivers seat JIC

I see the “Drop and Go” parking peeps drove it 1.4 miles around their parking area…

I wouldn't use the drop and go parking, even if they parked it a few metres away. I bet you've seen reports of vehicles doing 2000 miles then left in a field 10 miles away. Manchester is always pretty easy to get parked, and I often take the Navara to the top floor of the multi story car park, there's normally loads of room there as most people try to squeeze their car into the first hole that looks like it will accept a Fiat 500 on floor 3. On the top floor on Terminal 1 there are some sneaky wider slots too with the way the lines are drawn, dead centre of the park.
Liverpool is even easier to get a slot.

I do that

Have a guess.....



Thought I'd tidy up my wheel arch, then thought, 'it's a bit close to the bumper for sanding the rust'.......Now look at it, still not got the rear bumper off

Depends who you buy parking from. I used “valet parking” at Gatwick last year for the first time. Very efficient handover and car waiting when I got back. Gatwick guarantee on-site parking and I could see from my Mercedes Me app it was within the airport perimeter. I set up the geofencing on Mercedes Me and got a notification when the car was started and moved back the day before I was due to return. I would certainly use that again.

Not a bad little run south via M25 and a stop off in Surrey on the way

 

[Snake Charmer]

Drove my S211 with satisfactorily working rear lights to look at a C32 AMG.

Do you know that you can not push the stones over..............I tried that in the late '70's

Today I finally removed the rear bumper off the 55 with the help from my neighbour, it is definaulty a 2 man job

Went out, tried to push the stones over, decided I need a Unimog not a 216 if I want to do that

Settled for wiping the car down and removing the flies and grime from yesterdays trip.

An appropriate gift for my belated birthday

Nothing!
I'm decorating my friend's spare bedrooms and after taking a radiator off I find the wallpaper must have been put on with araldite!

It was Simply Mercedes at Beaulieu this weekend so a south coast road trip was in order and it was great to see members of the forum in attendance.

 

[Blobcat]

The road gods were kind to me on the way back from Beaulieu

Comand initially said an hour delay at Pear Tree interchange A34/M40 - I risked it and it was clear when I got there

Not a bad little run home…

 

[AMGeed]

Finished the service on the S204 by changing the air filter today.
I don't think I've seen one in worse condition than the one I took out.
It cannot have been changed in years!
Maybe I'll see a little increase in mpg now.
May mate w1ghty will be pleased with me

Engine and transmission mounts replaced by local Specialist today.

 

[00slk]

SLK 200 now has a new Mot
Also polished the 55 tit......have to be careful how I say this...ti...tip....exhaust tips



Would have been rude not too seeing how the rear bumper is off and I have complete access to them
