I've a hankering for a merc estate, if I could have found one a few weeks ago that wasn't a rusty mess, I'd already have one.
Is it an oil burner?

Funny that you should post this, I've just been told that one of these is going to be my next car! (Admittedly I need to get it from Spain though...)
Are you modding it or maintaining it?

Nice purchase. Just picked one of these up myself about 10 days or so back. Not sure how long I'll keep it, but enjoying having it.

Thanks, I've since repaired a leaking hydraulic pipe on the rear suspension. It's still a bit saggy at the back so the obvious solution is to lower it at the front!
It is a diesel so I'm currently looking into biofuel.

Has anyone got any tips for reviving the red plastic trims and getting rid of the smell of wet dogs?

Has anyone got any tips for reviving the red plastic trims and getting rid of the smell of wet dogs? The plastic side panels and bumpers on these are always a different shade than the main body of the car, painted with a satin finish from the factory. Yours looks about normal in the pics. The wet dog smell will be leaking rear windows in the estate section, also check if the carpet feels damp behind the front seats. |

Just filled up with waste veg oil so the exhaust now smells like a chippy! The paintwork has cleaned up surprisingly well too.
