All this talk of "0"rings this is getting to sound like one of those special intrest forums please nobody mention about flanges or big ends

Hya andrew prepare yourself for lots of abuse lol

Oooh hadnt thought of that ill check the tension on friday nite when i get home cheers MR DON

Quick update fitted new battery and still the same issue not as bad tho so ill whack the new "0" ring in the pump and new fluid and see what happens if not i give up lol

Mate thaT hot hot hot sauce even looked aggresive in the pot when will you learn lol oh well watching you sweat was amusing good to catch up with the flozster and have a damn good catch up i even managed a pic of my two toys the merc beast and my ever so squeeky REX

Mr floz im thinking your right the bug never let me down anyway new battery fitted slight squeal on start up but no where near as bad the battety was £80 from euro car parts but found a discount code and got it for £47 RESULT so ill replace "o" ring and new fluid at weekend and fingers crossed its sorted anyway a replacment for THE REX is on the horizon

Oooooh no this will get messy

Thats exactly the same issue i have leon once car is warmed up its fine and once its stood for any length of time the problem returns mmmm so were all saying its looking like the batterys knackered

Hya ccrein ill get the battety checked as the car stands at work all week while im out in the mercedes monster hadnt thought of that issue ill stick the new "O" ring in anyway just to see if it helps and mr floz i agree i thought the 'oh' ring was only avaliable on certian adult intrest websites

Ooooh mr floz same as me

Cheers don new "o" ring ordered and new fluid as well ill crack on with it at weekend and hope this sorts the issue

Hya don i replaced the belt and all was good but on way home from work when the steering is under load i get belt squeal and the power steering is notchy and when i first start the car i get mega belt squeal for about 2-3 mins

Errrrrr not really but it helps

Well ive got a technical issue with THE REX my power steering pump is on the way out so i looked around for a replacment and they are nearly 460 beer tokens so im gonna source a good second hand one so my question is which one fits as theres so many variants any help in this matter would be appreciated

I left about 30 years ago and still have to take my socks and shoes off to spell ooops i mean count see what i mean lol

This is what forums are all about having a giggle and a bit of banter

M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z lol

You mite need the exxon valdeez super tanker behind you

Lol well i hope im using the strap right

Oooh no mr floz was using the camera my dearly beloved got me for xmas complete with head strap

Well had a intresting trip over woodhead pass earlier today in the mighty actros was a bit windy over the summit had several moments where my arse nibbled at the seat but managed to keep.my truck shiny side up but saying that the scenery more than made up for the arse clenching ride i must put on my to do list to take THE REX for a blast along there in the summer it just shows there are some gems of roads in our green and pleasent land

As long as they have the mercedes badge on them

Well with my limited knowledge of mechanics im sure it will take me well into the light nights lol its even got fully functioning leaf spring suspension just like the real thing then theres the trailer to build and the MFU to fit which enables it to have sounds of the engine air brakes horns and working indicators and lights oooooh what have i started

Well as were in the dephs of a bloody ice age and hurrican season i was getting rathered bored at home of a weekend.as i cant be arsed with the usual z factor or dancing on snow and the other reality tv shows that numb my one brain cell ive took on a project its a 1/14scale rc replica of a mercedes actros gigaspace that is my daily drive its full rc and even has a 3 speed gearbox hell yeh let the engineering and tinkering commence
