Cressa

Nice wheels, but we are wise people here. You need more than that for a for sale ad, like pictures..... or make them a bargain and be ask for cash to be sent to you via western union bank transfer 🤣🤣 GLWS 🤔

Shit, how much!!! Ha ha. Anything that's a left hooker and in Km is not worth that. Still nice though 😊

Love that Merc. A hell of a lot of car for that money

Was off the road for 5 years and has done just 800 miles since roadworthy. I will give it a roadtrip first . I dont know how well calibrated the gauge is , but I am happy with the results. Atleast it isnt on its arse thankfully

BOLLO#, just realised I didnt do it with the throttle open..... for ease I was turning the key through the open window. I may have to redo this now. I suppose it may be interesting to see if it differs. I may also have a Carbon clean, just to see if that makes a difference too..just a thought

And I thought about 120 would have been good for an old engine 😄. Sean, i certainly am no expert at this and it was my 1st time. I had read that if within 20% then not to worry..... I was expecting 1 and 6 to be lower surprisingly..

Now I'm not for 1 minute thinking those readings are accurate and the engine is mint, but she does pull well and does not smoke. The car is on 122,922 miles I think I have done towards 1k miles on the new plugs so I compared them to the old ones I removed And this is the tester I used

Took her out for a warm up today to enjoy the last day of her road tax 😊, then it was time for the compression test. I had purchased a cheap US pro kit which has lots of bits that I certainly did not need. The biggest worry was that the thread adaptor that goes on the end of the hose would get left behind in the cylinder head, damn that would be trouble, but all went surprisingly well. I had never this before, but removing all ignition leads, plugs and the fuel relay 167 was quick and easy enough. (Didnt do the crank sensor Dox, I totally forgot) Bloody immobiliser needs resetting everytime I switched the ignition off 😠 and first attempt I got Zero on the gauge !! Thankfully just a loose joint at the gauge. . Cylinder 1- 148 Cylinder 2 - 177 Cylinder 3 - 165 Cylinder 4 - 180 Cylinder 5 - 162 Cylinder 6 - 175

Quality link. Didnt get chance today, so hopefully will tomorrow. I will post up my findings when I do. Thanks gents

👍

🤣🤣 cheers dox, hadn't thought or read about the crank sensor 👍

Hoping to get time to do a compression test this weekend. Does anyone have any top tips for me. 😇

That is one good looking motor

100% genuine I'm sure.. Cheers gents

So I put up a post asking for the drivers door exterior protective trim/ part no. Then received a PM off someone that has Zero posts on here, asking for me to contact on their gmail ....... ⏰⏰⏰ Alarm bells start ringing !!!! So I thought let's play along. And for €220 they know someone who can supply me one 🤔🤣🤣🤣🤣 What do you all think?

Does anyone know the part number for a late drivers door exterior protective trim rub strip.... my brain is blown looking at part numbers now 😳 Can I still get one new, mine has been eaten by aliens 1🤣🤣

Great bit of info 👍

They all look superb. It must have felt like xmas for you getting all those back. And the bolts look superb.

Impressive piece of restoration there 👍

Looking fantastic 👍

Horrendous. A beautiful car turned ugly 😳

😂 That has got to be the longest thread that still had nothing at the end, damn. Hopefully someone will remake some for us🤞, but well done in trying

It's the Diavia kit, as no factory aircon for a RHD unfortunately.... still confusing

I think it is an uprated Osram bulbs that I fitted way back, that give a nice white light. Looked good b4 and still do with the loom. May be slightly brighter with an extra .5 volts now. I was just surprised at the high voltage I had before !!! With no known headlight relay upgrade to be seen. As these looms look the business 👍 I will leave it in anyway. Thanks again for sorting the group buy out

The black one is the new loom feed. The red with black shrink wrap is the charging lead I made up A crimp with 2 reds in goes to the aircon The rest, who knows ..😊
