Re: EBay Finds

Those Quantums used an XR2 as a donor car - my old XR2 became one.

Re: 2003 Mercedes E320 CDI Estate - new turbo insert fitted

Code reader just reported no comms from the clocks - clearing the codes didn't help.

On a tip from Googling I removed fuse 52 and 64 in the engine bay fusebox, left it a few minutes and then put them back - which thankfully, brought the clocks back to life.

Re: 2003 Mercedes E320 CDI Estate - new turbo insert fitted

Yeah mine has the auto headlights. Dr Google says this happens when the clocks go bad - apparently the clocks send something into to CANBUS to say they are down and the headlight module interprets that as "On". I will get the scanner on it but a lot of Google wisdom seems to suggest removi...

Re: Claim's Cabbies Corner. MG6 day tomorrow!

I know I am as dense as fuck - but surely MG wouldn't have designed and manufactured or had manufactured, a clutch that was completely unique to that car? It seems daft. I bet some enterprising person could find a near equivalent that could work, shirley?

Re: 2003 Mercedes E320 CDI Estate - It was fun while it lasted

It lives! Started it up and it is having a wee idle - it's still on the ramps for now as I need to put the bottom cover on. Just checking for leaks etc. Having the battery off for so long has really upset the electrics - the lights don't want to respond to the switch at all and have decided they wan...

Re: EBay Finds

Seems an odd place to advertise it - I always think of Gumtree as being for Corsas with neon underbody lighting.

Turbot is most of the way refitted.
In passing I noticed the air filer is dated 2019 - better order a new one.
Despite no rain in the forecast God's decided to piss on us, so a quick break.
