Car appreciation... the aesthetics, the engineering, etc

Merc still doesn't, due to my spectacular lack of ability to organise anything.

I had a couple of really fucking hairy moments on the A1 at the weekend as the brake pedal took 4 goes to stop the car. I was properly shitting myself on the way back, but thankfully the traffic-free journey back kept them cool enough to work.

I will sort this shit out.

Now then, who can still get me cans of R12 and a refil pipe / gauge?
EEI?

I want working aircon, and I want it on the cheap.

it's about £45 to get the system checked and filled. if the seals are fucked, you will need to sort them, so i think it is a bit of a false economy to buy the gas and fill it yourself
