Well took my newly aquired 280CE to the mechanic today to get him to look over things,
looks like she needs a bit of working doing to her
The most serious issue which thankfully was fixed before I brought it home tonight, the rear fump pump was leaking fuel
So new fuel pump fitted.
Car has had a full service, tune up, transmission service etc...
Things that need attending to:
--Locks need fixing, drivers door lock is gone, have to use a long bolt to open it
--Diff mount needs to be replaced.
--Someone has made their own brake hose for it and it is rubbing on the bracket for it
--Leaking radiator, needs to be recored
--Mesh missing from under the windscreen, where the wipers sit.
--Needs new cooling syste hoses.
--Needs new engine mounts.
--Cold start sensor needs to be required and connected back up, PO had it disconnected for some unknown reason.
--Seat locking mechanism broken
--Bracket on oil cooler loose, pipes not secure
--requires new cross member bushes
--AC idler out of allignment
--oil leak from power steering box
--bush missing from steering collum
and...
For some reason car has different size wheels on it, x3 at 6.5inches and x1 6inch wheel,
So these things should keep my empty busy for the next few weeks.
