What Have You Done To Your Merc Today?

[ajshughes]

Used Pela 6000 to do my first oil change using extraction method. If the technique is good enough for MB main dealerships, then why scramble around on my back removing undertrays?! Managed to extract 6.5l in 20mins or less.
Even if it leaves an amount of old oil - the ease of the job means that it can be done more regularly. Also there’s always going to be some old oil left in whichever method. Overall v pleased with the new method.
Also broke a clip on dash trying to find a mischievous rattle… great. Car due for passenger airbag recall swap out so hopefully the disassembly and reassembly will sort the rattle.

Gave the Lady a very good wash then a gentle towel drying then out with wax ( I am bloody knackered ) all I kept saying was wax on wax off
but she looks great nice and shinny

Washed the sahara dust that had collected on the car after the last shower
This is what you can expect if you buy a black or dark coloured car.
That is without cleaning off the incessant bird crap deposited on the car every day.

When did that fall, all we have had is constant sunshine and a temperature of 22°

Overnight Saturday. Just a short shower.

Looked at them, wanting them to be clean. Went out to them, to clean them. Decided it was still much too hot, topped up the washer bottles and went back inside!

 

[merc estate]

Wash, polish, admire, and in.

 

[Skd884]

Drove to Goodwood, epic day the highlight being the T.50 GMA, stunning!

 

[OldskoolRS]

Nothing today, but I have spent 4 days cleaning, polishing and checking things on it since we picked it up on Tuesday lunchtime.

Actually I lied; I took the wonky back numberplate off again to check the thread size on the original three remaining Rivnuts.

Might finish off the DA polishing tomorrow as I've still got the bonnet and roof left to do, but it's looking good so far:

Broken down - FML

 

[MissyD]

Bought a new to me front numberplate holder for Missy2. Just got to bend the numberplate into shape.

 

[mattc]

New front discs, calipers and pads on the S124 along with new wheel bolts.

Bad news is couple of glow plugs do not want to move .... Out with the full fat coke cola

I took my wife to Starbucks in one and whilst there I joined a video call using the car’s hands-free calling rather than sit at my desk in front of my laptop.

I should do more video calls like this. Nice to have a change of scenery and position. Even nicer to have a coffee - I can’t get to my coffee machine whilst our kitchen is being redecorated!

In our house that would constitute a major emergency

Our (non coffee drinking) son can't understand why we take our coffee machine away with us when we rent a flat near my elderly parent's place.

Today I was mostly polishing, LSPing and ordering a few parts for my Mercedes.

Never drink the stuff, I don’t like Tea either. Mainly just water sometimes with squash

I'm getting really bored of all this sand this year. I'm sure it normally doesn't happen very often. This year its happened half a dozen times or so if seems.

I'm getting really bored of all this sand this year. I'm sure it normally doesn't happen very often. This year its happened half a dozen times or so if seems.

I suppose it's a trade off for the warm weather blowing up from Spain and N Africa. When it breaks we get the Saharan sand in the rain.
