Mark, the mechanic phoned this morning saying that he had been talking last night to a retired Mercedes mechanic, and he thought the problem might be with the over voltage protection relay. He turned up this morning, bypassed the relay and the car started, so looks like I need a new relay...

Hi ,Dave, I am currently having the same problem with my W124 cab after a covered winter on my drive.~ my wife thinks I should just hit it with a stick like Basil Faulty It won’t start now and I’ve just had a mechanic to look at it, he seems to think it is the immobiliser because both the...

I've just spent the last hour reading the whole thread and really enjoyed it. All credit to you Dash and well done. I love the car and its colour, but I especially like those seats. Great work, I salute you. R.

nice to see you've got the cruise fitted at last, mine is still all in a box in the cellar waiting for the day.

Billy those wheels are looking nice mate, what have you had done to them? Diamond cut and dipped? Pity the car missed last weekend, would have loved to see all that work. it truly is a labour of love, all credit to you and all involved. regards, R.

I'll go on the list please(at No. 8 I think) black SLK 350 AMG please. nothing ventured, nothing gained.:dk: regards, R.

your eyes a wandering Billy? good to catch up at the weekend, and to meet Dash as well. hopefully see you at the next meet, with your car instead of in the missus motor. regards, R.

great looking car (nice choise of wheel as well) and nice to see it in the flesh at the GTG. also enjoyed reading the back story on the other thread too.:thumb:

It’s been said already, but I would just like to reiterate my thanks to Olly and crew for a really enjoyable day. :thumb: I’ve learnt a lot, seen some lovely cars, and can now put faces to some of the names on here. From Kingston Hill, we face due south (approx) and salute you. Regards, R.

Had a game of "Desert Island Chicks" in the pub last Friday night, and Dr Alice was chosen twice. Can’t put my finger on where the attraction lies (even if I could, I'm sure she wouldn’t let me);), but a good left field call.

Excellent rendition of a 70's Anthem:thumb:, credit to your boy for his choise in music. this and DSOTM form part of the soundtrack to my life. Nice to know how Dara O'Briain spends his leisure time as well.

looking very nice indeed. have you checked the jacking points?

hi Olly, looking forward to GTG. sent a PM last night but it doesn't seem to have been delivered. will try sending it again, but will also ask here. what is the chance of getting an oil change on my car at the GTG? is the workshop fully booked out? regards, R.

:cool: Hunky Dory, Ziggy and Aladdin Sane:cool:; 3 of the best albums of all time (IMHO) and a breath of fresh air at the time. My kids prefer these three to any of the modern stuff they hear on the radio nowerdays. will try to make the V&A exhibition.

what is the longest recommended period of time a tyre should remain on a car when the tread is still within legal limits?
