Thanks for the reply, If that's the case where is the fluid, none on the garage floor the car hadn't been used for 2 weeks or the footwell.
I believe it doesn't always appear, plus it might not have been lost in those 2 weeks. Mine certainly never showed any visible signs.
.
. It's less than a year old too as I had it replaced when resprayed last summer. Why couldn't that have happened to the old one?

Well f#%* me that was me taking the cerb out while trying to sort out what i think is now an overheating starter problem, it looks dark coloured depending what angle you look at it.
Where you in a dark merc?
Ha! Small world - yes I was in the dark blue/black ML55 AMG trying to dodge the 2 cars in between to get a better look at your rather nice looking car!!!Where you in a dark merc?
Didn't think there could be too many of us around and was going to pull in at a petrol station and say Hi if you stopped
Still maybe meet face to face if we all make it to the Cerb Fest event!!!!
I do have the wishbones etc off and diff out so I had easy access, the only problem was the long reach through the chassis which I got over with a good quality long drill bit and a couple of lengths of steel bar.
I also had plenty off practice on how to remove the bushes by removing every single one the chassis/suspension.
Although I didn't hit the cars body work I did hit my own body work mainly my knuckles

Mine failed the mot.
The tester thought the power from the windscreen washer was insufficient. Teach me for replacing my Leven wipers with TVR Loop ones.
New pump on the way and it's also stuck in the garage waiting for inlet gaskets after a full service as TVR Parts took the order and failed to mention they didn't have any

Ah mate, that sucks!Did you use a TVR friendly tester? A tester tried to fail mine a couple of years ago because of failed window wipers until I explained that they don't work on a dry windscreen. After a little squirt they lumped into life, but that is how they are.
He shouldn't have failed you on that. They weren't much better when they were new!
Should be an easy fix tho....
Finally got a brake pedal with decent feel to it. I've bought 2x replacement master cylinders, one of which failed before even managing to bleed the brakes, the other worked, sort of. The brakes would work but they felt weak and pedal travel seemed excessive. A new seal kit in my original master cylinder has resulted in a rock hard pedal and much stronger brakes with decent feel. I thought it was work letting people know that it's entirely possible for new master cylinders to be complete rubbish if they have their own brake faff come fluid change time or other issues.

Collected after an 'un planned ' rebuild. Happy to be back. Bread and water for a while though. 
Fuel Rail Envy 
Have to try and replace my single (4.5) Fuel Rail and am having a logistics problem of trying to squeeze 8 injectors into the inlet manifold housings whilst keeping the other 8 injector ends located in the Rail.
Need to get a Thesaurus for bad language
