Happy birthday it's going to be a very special day for you. Current weather foggy but warming up nicely for you. I'm just up the road from Bournemouth so I might see and hear you later.

Lovely! Enjoy!

ULEZ isn't a problem either, as just about every petrol 2003 onwards is fine.

Enjoy, can't beat the AMG V8 sound, especially NA.

Thanks for all the comments, I'm over the moon !

I paid something beginning with 17 for the car. I've had a chance to properly go through the history now and this car has a wad of paperwork, inc old tax disks !
It had a trans fluid change in Jun 15 @ 23K so that was a nice surprise.
The last service was Jan 18, a B + Disks and pads. Done at the main dealer (!) the guy got charge 2,100 for that job !

The car has a Williams Ceramic coat registration card in the cubby hole. Does anyone know how I find out if it's got any years left on the guarantee ?

Cheers

Edited to add : Those guys at Forza were an absolute pleasure to deal with, in terms of attention to detail and personal service they knocked MB into a cocked hat.... They even booked the car in at Star Tech in Poole for a health check (paid for by them) so that I knew exactly what might need doing when I picked the car up.


This stuff is not urgent according to them and will need doing sometime next year. I will get it all done when the C service comes around.

Front torque arm bushes will eventually need replacing.
Small leak from the sump gasket.
Engine and gearbox mounts a little weak
Propshaft donut will need replacing at some point.

So while it's on the ramp, may as well get it all done !
