I've had so many kind wishes to our Son from fellow forum members i thought it was right to let you all know after a terrible few days we got to GSOH this morning and the Operation had tobe cancelled. We have deffered the Operation until which time my wife and i can build up the Courage and organise a suitable date within the very near future, our other Son is also ill and requires his scan early next wk he suffers from the same condition.
I'm sorry this bit isn't about the car but so many of you have passed on your good thoughts to us which we are so very humbled.
The car spat its Top Radiator Hose out whilst we had a last minute rush to London Friday Morning, Long story short No damage was done, and we got our Son to hospital on time for bloods.
New hose ordered and i managed to limp the car home without the Rad cap in place so as not to pressurise the system. "it worked" the Original pipe was corroded and didn't secure correctly into the radiator which is why it popped, I always carry spare Fluids with me just incase of this sort of event luckly.
Anyway thats enough of that, on with the thread, Car is running fine i have wire brushed the pipe down and refitted, I've covered around 100miles and all is well, But i will be fitting a Genuine new MB hose when the car has been into Mercedes on the 28th for the new Fuel tank tobe fitted.
Here is a picture of the New tank awaiting..
Thanks all again from my wife and i
