A photo commentary of work on my car...

For Mercedes Benz online advice/questions please visit the following forums.

I bought this car in 2005, it had 2 previous owners that I am aware of (a German import, one swedish owner, one german owner.) Not much needs to be done on the car, the radio aerial was broken, some rust here and there, bulbs gone in the instrument panel.

Done so far:-

* new brake discs on all 4 wheels
* replaced the car aerial with a genuine replacement from Mercedes Benz
* replaced the car radio/casette with a sony 4x45w cd player stereo
* fixed leaking brake pipes under the car
* replaced bulbs in instrument panel
* re-furbished the 'winter' wheels and bought genuine Mercedes Benz hubcaps for them
* cleaned up the inside of the instrument panel as they get dirty over time
* replaced the Windscreen with a new one
* full engine service (oil/oil filter/air filter/spark plugs etc) @ 180000 km
* 4 new winter Tires (February 2006)
* brand new Mercedes Benz bonnet mounted 3 point star
* fixed the broken key fob
* replaced the cassette tray and fixed the ashtray light
