Whilst I am home I took the 190 up the drive for my first drive in it - a succession of 20

don't even come close upon getting out of it.

Took these quickly to show how it's progressing. I'd be interested to hear whether you think the current interior set up is good, or should I change to full leather and black oak?

Jobs left to do include,

Sourcing and installing cruise.

T4 (Testbook version 4.Computer Diagnostic System)'ing an new hi-line IPK (Instrument pack (IPK from the German)) in.

Working out why the EML is on.

Installing HK, when it turns up!

Sourcing and installing a new radio tuner (current one had been swimming!)

Keep the current seats...they suit the car and they are like new! Nice n firm they are!

The engine sounds sweet but either needs some injector cleaner or the plugs changing or coils...good to catch up today Jake...we'll all be over your way tonight....going out to look at a few properties apparently!

Cheers Carl,

It's just had brand new NGK Platinums so it's not the plugs - hopefully a T4 session or even an OBD (On Board Diagnostics) reader just to get a code!

Was good to see you today, happy hunting this evening!

Zeb · Posted 27 May 2011, 17:40 #7

If that is ok?

JakeWilson · Posted 27 May 2011, 17:42 #8

Looking good Jake
You need some LED (Light Emitting Diode)'s in the interior lights to set those colours off nicely.

Cheers Mick, :-D

never had LED's in a car so it would be interesting to see what effect it would have inside actually. I've just put in a black oak to see what that looks like as well, as the car is not being needed every day at the minute, the poor thing is subject to my 'what would this look like' schemes!

Looking very nice indeed :thumbsup:

Definitely keep those seats, they look perfect in the car. I think the black oak dash would look very smart too

Think the MIL light is sorted now...

Sorry for not getting the big thanks on here sooner Carl.

Also, I've been told that the car is still miss-firing when warm too.

Black oak is now fitted. I am currently chasing a seller for some full leathers who is not releasing goods paid for so the car is currently down to 2 button panel as opposed to 4.

Zeb · Posted 01 Jun 2011, 07:18 #15

No probs Jake...we enjoyed the drive out...

Still missing eh? But has the MIL stayed off? I imagine not...

Reckon she'll need new coil pack thingies then...
