I have a walking route planned for Sunday morning. About 8km. 
tent, sleeping Matt will fit in the boot, parasol may need to go in the passenger side. Bag and cool box and tools in the front.

what time Saturday? I need to do some food shopping first.

 

I will go up there about 10am, but there will happy campers overnight so arrive when you like.

Can anybody sell me a can of good luck, any price paid! 

I don't know about that, but perhaps this German can of releasing oil will help?

Might pop down tomorrow, is anyone going to be bringing a decent obd diag that will diagnose the faulty parking sensors on my s203?

If they are the ultrasonic type as used on S210 and other Mercs of the era, you need to use the victorian method of employing a young child to do the work for you.

No really.  Apparently you (well, not you, but a small child) can usually hear which sensors are working and which aren't.  When you engage the park sensors they should emit an ultrasonic pulse, which is just about audible.  When you find the silent one, that's the dead one.

if its just within audible range, would a spectrum analyser type app on one of them new fangled smartphones pick it up I wonder?

(I know Microphones can pickup the 15Khz whine from an old CRT telly!)

If I'd still got the c4 gp wouldn't  have been a problem, probably not so good in a c class, speak to @chaseracerif he's coming down in the blingo 

[wuvvum]

Cheers.  Comfysofa mentioned that when she bought it she fitted it into the back of a K12 Micra so should fit in the Blingo easily - possibly not in the Dyane though if it's already full of camping gear...

Sorry chaps, the Bling's full of winter wheels for @barrett!

[Crackers]

Damnit, FOMO already. 

Have a great weekend all. 

[Chuck Buckles]

Just back from work. Nothing packed or organised. Feeling like I have much to do before setting off in the morning. 
looking forward to some tinkering. 

[richardmorris]

Still have some toy vehicles if they are worth bringing up?
