  1. Upthread I complained about my wheel trims and @AndyW201 mentioned that he had a set. Well, now I have a set. And what a difference they make! A side by side comparison with one of the old ones... they really were shamefully tatty. I'm loving how it looks now.
  2. He bought a red one because he likes Rovers of blood
  3. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/235478903284
  4. Ford: The radio has numberplate display AND keycode AND detatchable face plate! 1997 chavs:
  5. The decline of traditional media has caused so many problems. Last time I needed to mask up my car, I had to print out a load of Reddit posts.
  6. Continental fuses are awful. Fiddly to remove, fiddly to insert, and like to blow without looking like they've blown. Maybe the ceramic ones are better, but I doubt it. Even if you buy them from Mercedes they're the plastic type.

  8. Have you tried running with it unplugged? To rule it out as a cause if nothing else?
  9. Here we go again. Potentiometer number two has failed. With this one it would occasionally idle too low, stalling when put into drive. After stalling, it would be very difficult to restart. So I've unplugged it. I'm finished with potentiometers, it works better with it unplugged. Cheap AliExpress OVP? Brilliant. Faultless. Cheap AliExpress potentiometer? Work for one week. I have been having some silly recurring thoughts about selling it and buying @jmsguzzi's 300E. I was mad jealous when Ghosty bought that thing, it's so nice. However, while on the motorway last night I was thinking about how much I've come to like the leather upholstery, and how much I enjoy being in the 190. It's one of those rare cars where everything just feels 'right' when you're sitting in the driver's seat. But I will keep having intrusive thoughts about SLK320s and that 300E.
  10. Interesting article from 1959 asking why Americans are buying foreign cars: https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=KdwDAAAAMBAJ&lpg=PA98&dq=popular mechanics foreign cars&pg=PA98#v=onepage&q&f=false also, lol
  11. Big red CAUTION signs over the top of it, lol
  12. noooooo!! Go and view that Mercedes instead.
  13. Whoa whoa whoa. Don’t bring people who overpaid for shit 190s into this.
