Coca-Cola anyone? This is what happens when your head gasket goes - Oil and water mix - not good! This is part ofd the Cylander head from a SL.

Time to put the mechanics under the spotlight - I gave them a donor car - yep my car!!! On goes the specialist diagnostic computer that interfaces with the car's ECU (computer brain) and reads faults and other data:

Oil filter change:

Note the new washer fitted to the sump plug ;)

ATF fluid (automatic Transmission fluid) change. MB say that it is lifetime oil - YEAH RIGHT!!!!

Fuel filter change.

Guts of the transmission ATF filter change...

Lasts a lifetime does it? don't think so! this is why many people have Gearbox failures!

Brake fuid renew ;)

I had my Coolant system and engine oil flushed.... (I reccomend this every 3 years)

ATF oil going in!

I was paranoid about my car overheating so I got them to block test it...

Results were ok! so no fear there!
