He's finally mine!

Well my mate has finally bought his Mercedes B-Class Auto - I don't like them normally but I must admit he's managed to pick up a cracker. 57 Plate, cream leather, 83K, Silver.... for £2k - really nice drive too.

But more importantly the ZS is finally mine woohoo!

So now i have him permanently I have my list of stuff to do:

1. Sort the terrible bangy suspension
2. Swap the headlights for clear ones (plus polish originals as spares)
3. Find the weird intermittent water loss (I think despite the changed inlet gasket, the inlet is warped maybe)
4. Sort slightly saggy rear bumper sides
5. De-rust and paint all the clips and clamps and brackets under the bonnet.
6. Fit front fogs
7. Sort tiny rust patch on passenger rear lower arch where it got scraped
8. Repaint the black wheels as flaking - not sure if I should keep black or go silver?

Well done.

Have a look at the front jacking points, they were an advisory on my one and seem a bit of a problem.

Can the bangy suspension be sorted by some engine oil squirted at the bottom of the spring plate??

The whole car bangs all over the place over bumps... Pretty sure the shocks are shot.

I'll give the jacking points a good look. Thanks.
