RE: What's the latest Peter??

Underneath with the new,new (2 news because the new one got repaired!) Transmission replaced....

Once the PIC Upload Limit gets lifted I'll post the "Executive DIY cover story"!. .... including the WIS spicing added to my recipe!.

Switches much better (smoother) than my original .... seems to change gears at differently..... much more sportier!.

RE: Big day for Peter!!

Oh,

I forgot to mention ... Never just pour the Fluid in! Use a special MB funnel! ... It gets fine grain filtered!!!!

RE: Big day for Peter!!

Dip Stick!

Things went smoothly on the repair .... I didn't even have time to make any pics .... The dude got in early , and had finished it before I got there! .


In Austria everysink chust is goink to go ze SLOWLY way (Thinking, Speaking, Doing) .... .No seriously now , the MB tech did a fine job, and a very competent chap he was indeed!


Quick Austrian Joke:-
------------------------
5 Germans in a Audi Quattro are about to cross over into austria on the boarder.
The Austrian Boarder control keeps looking at the passports, and then peering into the vehicle!.
Finally one of the germans asked the boarder guard if there is a problem.
The guard replies "Well there are 5 of you, and you're in a Audi Quattro, ... Sorry Can't let you pass!"

The germans think the Austrian is nuts, and ask to speak to his boss!

The Austrian replies .... "well you'll just have to wait, he's busy right now speaking to 2 guys in a Fiat UNO!"
