  1. Follow those instructions and I bet you will discover that the problem will be a broken plastic nipple as per evilution. Why worry about the routing of the fluid? In my 20 years of working on smart cars the tubing hasn't been the problem and it would be a nightmare trying to trace it through the car πŸ™‚
  2. Look at this ...... https://www.evilution.co.uk/mod/wiper-rear-cover-removal.htm?highlight=rear wiper

  8. The joys of getting old haha! Best wishes for this new adventure!
  9. Looks to be in great shape! It was definitely looked after and oil sprayed. Are you sure you want to remove that black protective stuff? πŸ˜„
  10. 12-14L around town (depending on how heavy your foot is) and 9-11L on the highway (per 100km's]
  11. I just read about Mike T's B200 and his updating to a new Mercedes. So it reminded me about the Lexus I bought back in 2018. Well that baby has only required regular maintaince and repairs that I have being able to do by myself. However about a month ago I got a scare. At highway speeds it was ''jerky'' and my first thought was a slipping transmission. That would be an expensive repair. Luckily the CEL came on with a 308 code - misfire #8 cylinder. That required an ignition coil. I didn't know the age of the sparkplugs so they were replaced. Parts were less than $300 and I did the work. The Lexus has now clocked over 388,000kms and continues to be super reliable. She's only used for pleasure and when we need to haul more than 2 people. Continues to be an absolute pleasure to drive! Back in 2018 I said, ''I had lunch with my daughter and her boyfriend and got to visit his parents. Looks like the start of a long relationship.'' Well that was right on - they are now married, have a 2 year old, are expecting in April, and are moving to London from Vancouver in May - busy times!!

  12. That Mercedes has treated you well πŸ˜‰
  13. A big milestone has passed - 20 YEARS of smart ownership!!! My 2006 smart continues to be my daily driver and went through the year with only routine maintenance! She has been very reliable! I still have my shop and continue to help csc owners when requested. It should be noted that I have stored a lot of parts for the cdi's so contact me if you're looking for some hard to find items. Enjoy the upcoming holidays with family and friends!!
  14. That's what I experienced when the coolant level was low, or when air got in the system.
