I never let mine get anywhere near that low. Why would you?

I could argue its more efficient, but everyone knows I couldn't care less about such things.

But life is far too short to waste more time than is necessary filling up.  Thats why I tend to choose cars with decent sized tanks.

The Merc is a bit more robust than that. If it runs dry,.you simply add more fuel and cycle the ignition a handful of times. Same procedure as a filter change.

Managed to run the Alabama Mumsybus dry once... 5 litres was only just enough to prime it

That is true of most but, running it dry means a period of no fuel in the HP pump, metal on metal, no lube, not ideal

Yes, I went from a MFL MV6 with the worlds softest ever wheels (though I changed the wheels out for FL MV6 ones in the end) to the Big Black Pussy with it's "character building" wheels

Refitted the wheel.  Now sulking because my arm hurts.

On Saturday I replaced all the scanky sticky door handle trims. 



 

Need to work out how to restore that bit of leather next. Any ideas chaps? 

That's a job I need to do on mine as well.

I can forward some 'How to' Youtube links and the Ebay supplier if you like Andy?

Took it into the local ATS for alignment before buying a set of tyres, as the back tyres are wearing on the inner edges.

He did the back wheels OK, but the front track rods were seized solid and he couldn't shift them. 

Sigh... Nothing's ever straight forward....

How is the new car performing, Tig?

No major concerns I hope.

It's great thanks M'lud, I really like it! 

No nothing serious, just an annoyance really....

Ha ha very good! 

I think the front is fine to be honest as it doesn't wander and the tyres are wearing evenly, but I'll still have a go at freeing the track rods anyway, as they said to bring it back if I could free them or fit a new pair and they'll align it all up then.
