Think the worst bit is the dirty/rusty star!! Congrats and enjoy :D

Can agree with you there. Procurement has been the biggest waste of taxpayers money ever with some of the hugest White Elephant's you will ever see (or not as the case now is!) Meanwhile, at the end that matters (serving and fighting soldiers, sailors and airmen) morale is at an all-time low...

Any idea how much coolant you've replaced? Was the system bled when the thermostat was changed? (thinking possible air lock/air pockets here) I suppose there is a chance that the head gasket is in it's early stage of blowing.

Certainly sounds like a previous owners attempt at keeping spare batteries for their key fob! Personally, just keep mine in the arm-rest....

We've still got some ships left??????????? :D

Ah, the wonderful 211 and it's in-built electrical gremlins lol :D

Is your car fitted with SBC? That makes all manners of noises!

Ooh yes, forgot about the VAT increase and the inevitable price rise that comes from that! :thumb:

Ensure when you pay that you take £200 off the final price - this is the cost of a new key! I take it you didn't but from an MB specialist then? Recoding the key, my butt....

Definitely this one is the better of the 'two' lol. Please stay, we like you already :D

Getting a price for discs from your local MB stealer - you may be surprised lol!

Sleeper? That was soooo strange! lol

Since most of the cars braking is done by the front, I wouldn't bother with drilled/slotted discs on the back. Stick to standard with Greenstuff pads.

If you have dimming mirrors, they only work on rear-view and driver side mirror. There are many MB breakers round the country (try a Search on here) who may well be able to provide you with a reasonable replacement, even if you have to get the backing colour-matched.

But as the OP said, when the last thing on your mind is fuelling your car, even when you are, it's all too easy! It's just one of those awful things that many of us suffer from - not thinking about the job in hand. I must admit (hope I'm not tempting fate here!) but I have never mis-fuelled...
