HMC Posted March 23, 2019 Author Share Posted March 23, 2019 Did a quick fleet pic for posterity this weekend as it’s all change more or less next week.... Also been drying out the CLK as although I’ve sorted the cabin heater rainwater leak, it had been leaking for some time, as evidenced by the fucked heater blower. Although the interior carpets seemed dry, pulling them up revealed a pond and waterlogged backing foam. All sorted Just in time as I’m taking it up to the nec classic car thing tomorrow and collecting a few e bay purchases en route. Walked a different route to the park with the kids; little did I know a Plymouth registered Rover P6 has been slowly decaying just a few streets away.....

HMC Posted April 3, 2019 Author Share Posted April 3, 2019 Ooooo can we guess the malfunction?4 now to guess with a couple of clues. Perhaps I should have cycled out to the new car and avoided electrical shenanigins? A quick pull over and flick of the ignition resets most of it. # limit of my electrical system intel Hope the new merc is less flakey Jim Bell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HMC Posted April 4, 2019 Author Share Posted April 4, 2019 ^ it’s not bad, but not perfect. Worst bits are the front wings (at least they bolt off) both have been repaired (not v well look at how it meets the bumper!) and one has been driven into something.

HMC Posted April 4, 2019 Author Share Posted April 4, 2019 Just realised it looks like the corner of the front bumper has been taped back on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Bell Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 As Merc front wings go, that should be described as well above average. binhoker668, chaseracer, DeeJay and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieInExile Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 For £250 you really cannot go wrong with that, dodgy wing alignment or not. HMC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Equalizer Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 For £250 you really cannot go wrong with that, dodgy wing alignment or not. Indeed. A new, painted wing will probably cost more than the car. Yes, you can try and find a decent second-hand one, but just like the CLKs, they all rot in the same places.

HMC Posted April 4, 2019 Author Share Posted April 4, 2019 Alas, that’s the reality of banger mercs. Full locked the front wheels and the front coil spring cups seem good, although I’ll reserve judgement until I’ve power washed the arches and looked carefully around the seam sealant.

Jim Bell Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 I think you've done amazingly well for £250 even it it only gets to the next MOT. providing it's still got some MOT. HMC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
