Nail polish - good one! I've heard of filling in holes in walls (in rental properties) with toothpaste and then painting over but never thought of dressing up your car like a tart's hand bag!

 I'll be using that phrase some time in the near future...I just don't know when.Stretch, we need to get you a carb'd small block Chevy. You can let those things go forever-they will run wrong for a long long time(at 6-10mpg)

So I broke some stuff today...
...more DIYs on the way
  I found out today why the differential oil never gets drained on a W201  ...that's pretty poor design - but not as bad as the head slapping moment I had earlier on...

you need a longer tool to undo the hex for the diff or an allen key (like fiats require for the sump)

It is all supercow's fault!!!!!
(Kidding supercow you've helped a lot)
...the speedometer cable is shorter with a four speed gearbox. As I'm going to install a 5 speed I need to remove the panel that sits behind the engine. Although the FSM says to remove it before taking out the engine I had looked at the plastic casing for the wiring loom and thought - "I'm going to break that" so I went for the brute force bend it a bit approach when I took the engine out - my M102 is after all a little 4 pot... ...anyway now this panel needs to come out because of the speedo cable...  The obvious bolts are easy... ...the plastic rivets (that aren't mentioned in the FSM) need to be knocked out and lost for ever - I'll be making a different solution when the parts go back in if they are too expensive at the dealer...  Remove heater return pipe  And wriggle free   And there you have it - a little hole full of genuine German leaves.

Can I get a break with this %%^&&ing car?
Yet another reason to remove the sub frame =>
 That's one bugger of a fix. The connections are behind the sub frame and I've got nearly a full tank of fuel... ...BOLLOCKS...
