My greyhound has long departed 😞

I see Koolvin is still here 😂

Hi all, I've not been on here for nearly 17yrs so I doubt anyone will remember me. I did have a E230 back then. I have come across an absolutely mint E220 (61 reg) which I purchased, hence I'm back.

The reason for not washing the car is because theres still a chemical reaction taking place under the dry exterior, think fresh nail polish and you get the idea :rolleyes: . Hello Graham,Hope your well? After my divorce I needed a different job where I had the chance to earn more money to...

Let me know the name of the operator, I have a mate who was on my course that works in S/ Wales.

Its just the way the light catches it :crazy: .

The problem is silver is a heavy paint due to the amount of metal in it, which can cause sag's, run's and if applied too heavy can cause the metal flakes to sink, Also the lacquar (excuse spelling) we use has a high cellulose which if applied to heavy can have a "jet" wash effect. I know some...

I doubt MB UK will be aware that the repair was carried out as it was done by what looks like a work shop trolley being pushed around the car whilst at the stealership. Also it was 95% on the bumper (so no chance of rust) and only a tiny down to metal scratch on the panel under rear light cluster.

Some before and after pic's of my repairs. Assuming I've up loaded them correctly :(

Good luck with your ChipsAway job, as others have said here the repair is down to the operator. I did a new W211 the other day which was a Merc' direct purchased car. It came with a nice scratched bumper which I was asked to correct for the new owner (A senior partner in a adult shop chain...

When I required a new battery on my W210 the local Brabus (Kent) garage fitted it for free and they were not expensive. I would enquire at MB first, you may be suprised at cost.

I had an Omega Sea Master, the latest full size mechanical version, it was the worst time keeper ever :crazy: . I now have a DKNY chronometer which g/friend got me, but my favorite watch which I wear all the time including swimming / sauna's etc is a £20 Sekonda Chrono' that looks almost...

Of course :D . There the same they used last time, but now they got 3 of them. I've notived quite a few people start to speed up as they go past the second set only to be caught out by the 3rd set .

Well my divorce is hopefully going ahead on 1st Oct, doing a d.i.y one as we havent got any dispute with each other, kids are happy and finaces are settled. The final part of my life change will hopefully happen early in new year which involves a drastic change of jobs. I've been on the railway...

I wish I knew about this when the ex and I was splitting up, so many broken promises and verbal agreements :crazy: .

I miss these GTG's :( . I thought I had stumbled upon a "FORD" GTG, thought it odd that no-one was looking at the cars then I realised it was just the Asda car park :D

When I was looking at getting a 6/7 seater I had a good look at both the E-class and the V70. I imagined my kids in the back (3rd row) seat which is literally a "Bench" whilst I travelled to the S/France and I couldnt do it to them. This is why I eventually got a Galaxy. Whilst I think...

Well had my re-gas. I can only highly recomend the company . The man that came round explained everything he was doing and why he was doing it. My air is now lovely and chilled. Total cost was £70. This included gas testing, the ultra violet dye and a full vacuum and refill of the system...

This is a really good thread to all the how, why, when etc of car air conditioning: Air-con I have got this bloke coming today (Friday) as I thought it better to have a A/C specialist rather than just an odd job bloke at the local Ford dealer. Will let you know the out come.

Because A/C also de-humidify's the air so the windows dont steam up when your cold, wet etc. Lots of people think air-con is just a summer thing, but you should use it most of the time even with the heater turned up. It's general lack of use that causes most air-con failures, thats why MB...
