I've driven my mates Disco with hand controls and although it's a bit weird at first, you soon get used to them.

I took a starter motor for a Mercedes 1820 truck to Kenya in my hand baggage a few years ago.
I'm not sure what it weighed but I had to make an effort at check in not to lean with the weight of the thing or wince as the strap dug into my shoulder!

I sent Cem a diff about 2 years ago,and it got as far as customs at Instanbul As far as we know,its still there.They wouldn't allow him to take delivery of it.
unfortunately , our custom rules are larger than encyclopedia britannica and they forbid second hand parts
You needed an OOFer going on holiday to Turkey who would have been willing to pop it in their hand baggage!!!

If they're well packed there's no reason why they wouldn't arrive intact anymore than anywhere else.

General Car Chat / Pedal tricks
« on: 11 September 2013, 22:32:38 »
Whilst perusing the Merc forums to find out how to reset the service indicator on my C250, I came across a 'Pedal trick' that allegedly resets the automatic gearbox's software back to the factory setting. I've tried it and I can't be sure to be honest, but I think that it might be a little more responsive than it was.
I know that the Omega gearbox software can be upgraded with Tech2, but I was wondering if there is a similar 'Pedal trick' that can be done?

Get your handyman to give the screen a good rub over with meths which will remove all the tiny rubber deposits that have built up over the years.

« on: 11 September 2013, 19:32:30 »QuoteAfter uncovering the chimney breast I found a bricked-up fireplace, which is offset because of another fireplace one floor down. I'm guessing that this was original to the house in 1891.
How many floors you got in that gaff
Opti Towers has so many floors that it is a well known landmark in the Lincolnshire countryside!!
