It's all a blur to me. Hold on, looks like you are correct - the red line's on the left.

engine must turn in the opposite way,
with the hilux you have to look past dented bodywork and just be sure it has its original engine then its good, quite an easy machine to buy, once your sure of that fact you can enjoy bombproof reliability.

Was pretty obvious though, it was on my neck and with the big dressing I've got on it now it looks like I should be grabbing up the crucifixes and garlic :twisted:
Just out of interest:

By Wednesday I was in agony so I ripped the huge dressing off and that's all it was, the dressing. The wound itself is fine :?

Don't they sell shavers in Croatia :P

Looks a bit red where the dressing was, typical where the plaster hurts more than the cut :?

I don't think they put anything on it so, by elimination, it's a bruise.

It's my "House M.D." look :P

still though you can have a big fast merc that sounds good, an old merc couldnt be as hard to keep running as an old jag or roller.

Offers? *checks loose change in his pocket* Hmm, 12 Kuna and a shopping trolley token, that'll do.

I'm told Mercedes Bends can manufacture parts for ANY old Merc, it'll cost you plenty though.

they have huge stocks of spare parts, even if they may be expensive they would be top notch quality.

The 1st Merc is "£3330.00 The car is for sale for three thousand three hundred and thirty pounds. £330 P/X considered. "

Looks like they mucked up the price as well as the mileage. :roll:

Hate that "offers" thing. Just list a price! Obviously they have a price in mind, if you phoned them up and offered them £20 they'd probably put the phone down :roll:

Seriously tempted by a big merc now though...
