Say, perhaps, one was to go and take a shoofty at this. Would one be satisfied that the original chocolate tensioners had been fully sorted by recall 15 years ago, or would one be seeking to heavily negotiate based on the fact that the ones fitted 15 years ago will merely be just be a slightly better quality of tempered, higher cocoa solid percentage of chocolate?

Just out of interest like.

It's a piece of piss to whip the cam cover off and take a look. I'd do that, TBH. Driver's side one is quickest IIRC.

Few years ago now, but the paternal sprint looked lovely when I saw it.

The look ace from the front and side, just not so much from the rear:

That is lovely. I never used to be too much into these older Mercs but as time goes on (and I get older!?) I really rather fancy one to waft around in. Just couldn't justify spending that on one though, soooo.......

I'm normally big on keeping things standard, but I saw a lovely deep metallic Red 190 the other day that had been lowered. It really did look the dog's

cmoose - ad says he's fitted zebrano to the centre.

Looks honest enough, but with 3 weeks MOT I'm wondering why he's not doing it himself.

Looks a tidy sub-100k M5 for comfortably under five figures, the usual dividing line for <100k/>100k of late...

Ad says: 'I have fitted a full height zebrano ‘taxi’ centre console to the car which is in good condition.'

[CharlesdeGaulle]

Semantic details...




Actually I was referring to the 2.0 190. You weren't. One of us is a dick. Gets coat.

Thoroughly childish and irresponsible I know but a 'normal' 190e can be quite a character....
