Me too , i can get them cheap through work but they are still a hideous thing to change

Starter changed - and what a faf that was , no room , torx bolts that were way too long IMHO , Main lead that only just reached , so much so you had to connect it with the starter loose . 2 1/2 hours of lying on my back under a couple tonnes of Germanys finest = not fun Whoever designed it needs it shoving somewhere painful - still its running again although im not holding my breath

Borked again , starter motors shit itself now

Well this is actually behaving itself - so much so the clock has worked continually since 29th Dec . Im now certain it was damp , when i got it the boot leaked and it was often misted up. anyway on the 29th i did 140 miles with the heater on boil me / sweaty driver setting and the air con on , clock started working half way in the trip and its not misted up since , i recon the air con and heat has dried the thing out 😊

Never buy another Merc

Anyone on here make stuff from bits of dead car . A n Allegro rear end seat would look cool and one day I will do just this. Anyway to start you off heres a lamp and candle holder i built from a gearbox that seized on me on the way home from Dover way back in 1989 .
