What Have You Done To Your Merc Today?

[ALFAitalia]

What a pain.......I'll have to remember that as I have that exact same drain pan!!!.....and what looks like exactly the same block pavers!!!.....but I need to re-sand mine......too much jet washing oil off it!!!

Todays little job was to change oil breather valve on the back of the head. As I’ve been getting far too much oil in the orange seal. Cleaned out 2 days ago. Picked up the valve from Mercedes Bury plus new seals yesterday.

Not too bad to change other than the lower bolt which I then dropped

Still bolt rescued from the belly pans. Belly pans drained of diesel (see my other post) all back together so now to wash it in a bit.

Given it a quick clean up and moved it outside for a bit of fresh air just to get the cobwebs off it. Nothing much else as I'm very busy with the other one.

I need to use the Merc more but I don't really go anywhere nowadays and if I do I tend to walk.

Quick pic in the brief bit of sun we've had.

Although I havent revealed my new car on here, I have been working on it & tweaking things + filming the process.

Today I gave the rear hubs a refresh aswell as the calipers:

Then I added some Copper Grease to help prevent binding in future.

Makes such a big difference to the car!

Considering SORNing my car for a month as I have another little runaround I use for carrying equipment for work (hatchback) and short trips, and it will give me time to give it a service as well as change the DPF sensor.

In reality I’ll be doing it because of recent vehicle tax hikes… taxing two cars unnecessarily is wasting much needed cash at the moment.

Would be nice if you could also pause insurance payments… they went up 50% too…

How much is it for this style of PCV direct from MB? My car uses an older style one but I was considering changing this one on my dads car

Nice job on the calipers, Karl, as said, small easyish job, big difference. You gonna keep us in suspenders about the new motor.

I think I know what @KillerHERTZ new car is but I won’t spoil the big reveal

 

[SpikyMikey]

I think I know what @KillerHERTZ new car is but I won’t spoil the big reveal

I too have an idea Sherlock

 

[ToeKnee]

I think I know what @KillerHERTZ new car is but I won’t spoil the big reveal

I'll put the first guess in........ It's a Mercedes!

 

[Trickythemerc]

second guess is a Mercedes with disc brakes ???????????? and rust ????????????/

 

[KillerHERTZ]

Haha soon enough I still have a final G wagen video to finish first.

Hint for the new car: Its north of 500bhp and fast AF and has a designo paint colour.

I paid £147 for the valve plus the new seals

Copper grease in moving brake parts not a good idea, the heat and dust cakes it up, good quality high heat silicone grease every time

I put it on the inner hub where it touches the alloy wheel, not touching any of the brakes...

It was the word "binding" made me think otherwise, sorry
