What Have You Done To Your Merc Today?

[CrustyClam]

Went for a drive around snake pass and some surrounding roads, saw a car hit a verge followed by a post and flip onto its roof.

Weird though it looked like it was going so slow. Had I not reviewed the dash cam footage I'd be thinking how did it even happen. The footage is getting transferred to my pc tomorrow.

Discovered the R class has a slow leak from left rear tyre and a leaking washer bottle.
{Sigh}
On a positive note the TPMS and low washer fluid warnings all work!

Find that anything I have around the house is prone to slow leaks if its not drove regular. Most times its down to a leaking tubeless valves for some strange reason.

I could understand if I hadn't pumped it up 3 days ago....

Trip to the local tyre depot required then and hope you find a guy who knows what to do

Tyres nearly on the tread wear indicators so some new ones will be the answer. They're Chinese ditch finders so would have been coming off anyway.

I get the rolly, tippy bit... just not how they got to that point! (Besides driving like a bit of a gibbon towards a junction, with liklihood of ice beneath...)

They've just decided to turn left a bit early...

Oil and filter changed and new air filter fitted , can’t believe how dirty the air filter was this is 3 or 4 times I have removed air filters ( different M B ) to find them totally clogged, I don’t think there are being changed often enough or else they are being ignored at services.

Commute in the 215 and cleaned all the glass inside

My dipped beam headlights were getting lower and lower, the height sensor operating arm joints had seized and snapped the bracket off. I made an adjustable replacement with a stainless steel bracket.

Had the winters fitted, well three out of 4, the last one has been eaten it seems so had to order a new one, rather annoying really as it was the last year for these four to be fitted

Booked in for a 4 wheel alignment tomorrow. A kamakazi Tesco truck wasn't looking where he was going and forced me onto a kerb. I was sure it would have at least popped the tyre off from the force I hit the kerb but I have to say I'm pleased the Dunlops withstood it all.
Stupid low profiles, stupid kerb and stupid Tesco!

That's not good news Stuart glad it wasn't more serious. Did this Tesco drive stop or was he oblivious to his surroundings?

Totally oblivious I'm afraid! I suspect he was on the phone. If I hadn't avoided it he would have hit me ( unless all the safety stuff had come into play)
