Three little piggys went to market.....
..... actually more than three.
Some of us (the clichy group :roll: ) were invited to a surprise birthday bash for Rich simms. Staged at an off road site to include some lanes, you can see the piccys and write up in the next g wizz but heres a taster.
Bastards :(
In a good natured way :lol:
Looks like I missed a good time. :(
Darn work...
That looked great fun!

Hell Yeah!!
Don't take it to Merc next time....
where shall i take it? would local garages be trustable?
just take it to a someone skilled in mercs. it is the same engine as in the saloons.
can't help you with a garage in your area but i'm sure others probably can and if not here then on a general mb forum.

cool cool! thanks!
just cos its a merc, why do you have to take it to some one who does mercs. Its a car, many decent mechanics should know how to change a brake cylinder, be it master or slave.Why do people have this perception that mercs are any different. There bloody taxis in greece !
There bloody taxis in greece !
No wonder nobody gets home then :lol:
Yep I agree, 'decent mechanic' is the very important part..............
Find one and hold on to him very tight :lol:

And I'm still looking....
We currently have a fab mechanic but he is inclined to move out of our area and then appear back 5 years later (which he has just done :) ). i also know another one that genuinely loves G's.
Prior to this I used a small local 'friendly' garage that the manager one day greeted me with 'why don't you stop buying these heaps of shit (OLD Mercs) and get a decent car!' - I haven't been back.
So like I have already said - 'If you find one hold on to him tight!' :)
I know one... a guy in cirencester is an absolute genius... such a shame that I don't live in that area anymore!!
There bloody taxis in greece!
... and in France, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Belgium, The Netherlands, Luxembourg, Austria, Switzerland, etc, etc, etc.....
I had an excellent mechanic while I lived in the UK. Well, he wasn't only a mechanic, he had a degree in mechanical engineering and designed, built and fitted parts for Land Rovers. I would turn up with a problem, he'd fix it in 20 minutes while I had a cup of tea and when asked how much did I owe him he'd say.... give us a fiver :lol: (the first time I though I was paying only for the cuppa)
The main problem was that he was utterly unreliable. You'd agree to bring the G for him to fix it and it would sit there literally for weeks and he wouldn't touch it, take the phone or return calls or e-mails. He wouldn't even attend to the bell rings at the gate of his premises, so more than once I had to jump over the fence.... to be faced by one of his many dogs :lol: Yes, now I laugh but back then it was desperate 'cause I had no replacement for the G.....
The thing is that he was extremely economical. He worked wonderfully but couldn't care less about money: he'd literally spend all day with your G and charge you like 200 quid labour..... that's whay I always came back!
sounds wonderful!! better make some friends in the engineering department!
