So I got married on the 9th June, decided to use my e class as the car my wife would come to the wedding in I thought it worked rather well!




I hope these links works for photos as they were too big to upload!

Covid test ever so slightly positive this morning, I decided to rebuild the suspension compressor........

Head bolts sheared, Tig weld M6 nuts to the stubs.

Wee bit of corrosion forcing the seal out.


20220711_132311.jpg
Bore scored through the hard anodizing, looks like the ring was so worn the Wobl piston has been touching.

It was borderline clean up and fit the repair kit to get get by for a while until a new one can be sourced then it fell out of the vice and broke the piston off the rod!
Arnott pump sourced and fitted, need a new relay now and preferably some new rubber mounts. Expensive Arnott weekend.

Congratulations Adam!

Looks like you had great weather for it.

I would have thought you'd use the 129?

Sitting outside MB Automotive in Loughborough with a coffee. First service since purchase. £183 for an A service. It costs more than that for a packet of crackers in my local Aldi these days.

You need some cooling seats too just to get the most out of your fuel.
