You only need to do 3 - Mine was done by Summit Garage a while back.

My bad, I thought he meant all 4 cars.

It's just that since he was planning to do that to my old one I'd give him the heads up (Sold it to him last year).

Cool

Took the Bear for a run over to the dark side and home via the go go juice station. Only took £48 to top up the tank. Took her home and swapped cars over.
Banana’s turn for some go go juice. Only the second time this year she has been into the go go juice station. And that was £42 to top up.

Plus Banana tripped over onto 211,000 miles.

Fixed the tourers nearside new lamp, noticed the bumper wheel arch screw was missing so sorted that, then while i was under the car noticed the heat shield had pulled past the bolt so fit a big washer to sort that too.

Picked up Ten Lengths of CLS Timber - 2.4m lengths via the Ski Hatch - a comfortable fit with room to spare for length, and relatively secure/safe

Default V6 Thermostat

I finally got around to replacing the thermostat and seals on my 190. I did it via the keyhole method a very kind and helpful member posted on this forum. The hardest part was bolting the thermostat and pipe back on the engine! 2 hours later I managed to do it! I have now got the feeling back in in my hand and arms, very little space to get hold of the bolt and the ratchet!! It is great to have a heater and no more evaporating coolant smells!! I tried not to drop the bleed valve when replacing the coolant, and guess what I did, dropped it!!

Fitted the powerflex lower engine mount and fitted a high tone horn much better sound ! Also booked the ZT in with Tom Hobbs to get the hole fixed
