It was an absolute pleasure to meet you today Geoff, And thank you for your help and being so generous with your time:cool: As I mentioned my single malt tasting will depend on Karen sharing:eek: With regard to preparing the car for shipping I'd ventured to the big green sausage sandwich place...

All set for 11am, I sent you a text

I'll send you a message in the morning to confirm time Geoff as I am relying on the seller to open up the "barn"

I'll make room:cool: I'm back there tomorrow at 11am to chock up the suspension for the trip back to Sydney if you can make it, I'll text you in the morning to confirm;)

I'll take you up on your offer Geoff, even if it's only so we meet up, it'd be silly to come all this way and not shake your hand

Were you guys in a blue 116? I spotted it as I left

Thanks Geoff, I was gone by 1:24 so missed you by that much, bugger. I'm here until Tuesday early at this stage. Shaws that you used are not in a position to ship a non runner but I've found CEVA who will. Plan is to go there Monday at 11am and chock up the suspension with some timber and cable...

Well I bought the car, a W109015, the 300SEL with the 3 litre M189 engine, one of 2396 total production, now to get it back to Sydney :eek: And I got in trouble from Karen for not buying her a Ponton:rolleyes:

It's not advertised as an auction Geoff, but as a sale where all potential buyers turn up at the same time and look at and make offers on cars, oh, wait

I'm here in Perth on behalf of a friend, to do his bidding so to speak, no new cars for me, well maybe no new cars...I must be strong, maybe

Congratulations! Good buy, when my 126 dies (if?) I'll look at a W140 before a W220 I'd think

Tell him the price son! Tell him the price!

No, I don't bake, that's Karen's area of expertise, yesterday it was mini hamburger macaroons, sorry about the slightly fuzzy phone pic

Just a Heads Up http://www.m-100.co/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=8147

I guess the real lesson here is to always go back to first principles and fully explore every avenue even if "but I've fixed that" runs through your mind

Looking forward to it Geoff, as soon as you have a ETA let us know

Do you mean like the POR-15 tank treatments Helmet? I've heard they can block the inlets and outlets and interfere with the function of the swirl pot?

I cannot believe it is over 18 months since I last posted on this, the shame:p So, in that time I had the tank boiled and cleaned, dropped the pump to below the tank level, changed filters a number of times, checked the pressures and flow at idle and the problem remained, all would be ok for...
