My 1st Sprinter - Sprinter-Forum

kappy5003 · 01-06-2011, 12:32 AM

Well it looks as though I have brought my 1st Sprinter

2005 with 165,000ks on the clock. This vehicle is a credit to the current owner a maticulous and fastidous guy.

I can't believe my good fortune stubbling across this gem,

it has everything in it and more.

pics to follow.

Looks as though I will be heading to the east next week to cruise back to west.

Now I'm like a kid in a lolly shop, or waiting for xmas.

Cheers
Kappy

I bet the first thing you do is wash and vacuum it out.

That maybe the case, on all accounts the current owner washes and polishes it on a regular according to his partner more than himself, so I have big shoes to fill.
Is this part of the sprinter obsession I hope it's not addictive.
All those years and $1000's down the drain.

Congratulations Happy Kappy The journey begins.Trust me it can be addictive in more ways than you can imagine..
In the mean time I'll sit back in Sunny Hobart open up the quick fix glove box for drinks and lay about on the back seat drinking My favorite Bundy and Coke

turn the telly on and watch the floods over the next couple of month's work their way through to the Darling Downs.

Hi Eric

No I didn't get your PM, still new here didn't realise I had a PM.

I tried to reply to your PM but says it's turned off and I don't recall doing it....

The guy at Narre Warren has balked I rang three times and asked for few pics but no reply.

Reckons it was mint, last service oil, filter and spark plugs all changed.

Must be something wrong with it, so found one in NSW bit more money but well worth it.

Will be heading over east next Thursday to bring her home so I will record my return journey.

Maybe some advice of the working of the forum would be welcome.

Cheers
Kappy

Thanks Richard
Just noticed also dug a little deeper in CP and found out how to turn a few things on.

So all good at this stage, still learning.

Cheers
