Thank you! On the way home, I couldn't help but crack a smile. I had to out-couch some cowboys to get this one. With 68k and a service history that spans the whole universe, I'm crossing my fingers that she'll be a keeper. I am crossing my fingers for a clan-safe purchase because there is no chain noise... in the next twelve months, I will budget for a whole chain kit, coolant, and an oil change for my car.

I finally got a car that I can appreciate after upgrading my 25-year-old Yariz. I enjoy tinkering, where feasible, and am delighted to do it myself. I am also happy to acknowledge when I am overwhelmed.

Haven’t bought from them myself but I’ve heard the name mentioned A mate of mine does bits of work with a garage that prepares cars for companies like that. From what he said, a lot of their stock comes from finance repossessions and fleet clearances Didn’t sound like anything dodgy from what he told me

I’m still not convinced, bank transfer is basically zero protection if something goes wrong. What’s stopping them from just ignoring you?

I have not encountered anything similar to this issue in my 6,600 miles of driving. I would take it to the dealer to have it examined!

Hello! I'm also from the Narborough district of Leicestershire. Every third Sunday from 9:30 am to 1:00 pm, you may find a local meet at Jenno's Coffee House in Narborough's Carlton Park. It's a popular event that happens all year. There are always a couple Mercs there, so drop by if you have the time.

Understood. I have a brief inquiry. Last night, I was compiling all the torque specifications for reassembly (any comprehensive list would be greatly appreciated). It indicates that the oil cooler screws should be set to 12 Nm, which seems appropriate; however, some sources state that they are stretch bolts and must be replaced, while others do not mention this requirement. Is anyone aware? I will likely replace them nonetheless; but, they do not appear to be TTY (stretch) bolts. Salutations.

The glow plugs are functioning adequately and are easily accessible in the event of failure; therefore, I will defer any action regarding them for the time being. 👍

I intended to convey that the purple seals had a sealant applied. To my knowledge, none is required. Am I mistaken, or was the previous owner only exercising excessive caution?

This occurred approximately three and a half hours later...gulp!

My aim is to decarbonise the cylinder head, replace the malfunctioning swirl motor, substitute the oil cooler seals (despite the presence of purple seals, it is prudent to address them), replace the leaking AC condenser and clean the DPF. I am not providing a comprehensive photographic tutorial; if you lack the requisite skills, consider hiring a professional. However, if you wish to do it and possess the necessary competence, numerous resources are available on this forum and YouTube. I am undertaking this to identify any potential difficulties and address any enquiries that may arise, if possible....and might pose some enquiries of my own. This was intended to commence in the new year; but, the weather has been excessively chilly, prompting me to begin today. The forecast predicted dry conditions; it was inaccurate!Despite having the entire day, I only accomplished approximately four hours of work amidst the intermittent showers. I spent half an hour attempting to remove the DPF, which I have yet to accomplish. I will initiate a separate topic with this issue. This occurred around 9 o'clock this morning.Only the cover has been removed.

An exceedingly costly endeavour if the original poster must acquire an additional Weistec supercharger. I believe that is a five-figure enhancement.

Contact Acid at MSL Performance for guidance. It is highly probable that he installed the supercharger and calibrated it. I would revert it to its original state as soon as possible. 0121 772 5572
