The grille and bumper are the worst afflicted, shame on me that I could not motivate myself to even spray the grille and bumper with Fertan.

New grill now ordered.

I suggested hot dip galvanizing the bumpers, but to no avail.

 

Sigh.

Must go on the phone and post some pics,

but another fecking last haugh in the pot embuggerance,

the fecking IP sneakily  shit itsel while the engine was  sitting all lonely and wile easy accessible on the floor, but did NOT manifest until all was lovingly rebuilt and the engine re-started,

like starting the very first kick  .  .  . BUT diesel pissing out the back of the IP.

BUGGER!

And no bloody local  mechanic is interested in taking the pump off to get it rebuilt, which rebuilding  I have already checked can easily be done by a local specialist. 

So another month lost.

BUT

There is a G-Wagen owning mechanic coming up from Dublin on Sunday to look at her, the 461 Van, with a view to removing the IP.

Said mechanic  happens to own a rather rare** 461 "Pur" G-Wagen wot I was lusting over, but thats another much more interesting love story! 

**Like with seperate 12V and 24V systems with 3 batteries, and 5 doors but no rear seats ever fitted, this from the factory, plus the OM642 V6 diesel and auto gearbox.

Pics of the 461 as soon as I get her home this week. 

Honest!
