Norn Iron Noob saying Hello

[GadgetBoy]

Greetings All

I've just bought my first Merc - a 98 C240 Sport Auto with 83K on it and FSH. Lovely thing.

First Merc and first auto so I'm a double virgin.

Cheers.

Nice car...good views up there in Glencregagh!! Do you still have the Micra?

 

[GadgetBoy]

Spooky!

Never had a Micra. Had my dad's Zook Alto for a while until I actually got round to selling it for him. The Merc was preceded by a 75.

welcome nice car i have one my self

if you ever want to do mods to it as in upgrade it people here can help like put electric windows in the back and so on maybe find a leather interior on ebay for her more comfort

as the engine goes should be strong make sure the polly v belts are good

topped up with antifreeze

good oil and filter will help also

in the car is the AC working you will know when you turn on the heating to cold and the EC button has not got a red light AC is on leave for a few min and if cold your ok

as i say enjoy it many people have w202 's and love them

 

[GadgetBoy]

The A/C needs re-gassed. Not too fussed on leccie windows in the back but leather would be a good mod.

Needs a good service. Oil/filters/plugs and ATF. Bar that it seems a fine motor.
