Not a great deal to report other than it’s been running great. Needed a new DPF sensor which I sourced a new genuine MB unit for £36 on eBay.
Icarsoft has been worth its weight in gold as I read the codes, purchased the part, fitted and of she goes.
Replaced the last original tyre on the back as it was on 3mm but cracks started to appear on side wall. The other three tyres have covered 6k and have barely worn.
Engine has done 7k now and seems to be going ok, 3k since sump replaced and thermostat, zero oil and coolant usage since.
550 mile round trip just completed to Alton Towers with two kids, two adults, and the boot full of s**t comfortably. 34mpg overall which is ok considering how s**t the traffic was.
I still hate it but can’t deny the usability, wife naturally loves everything I do not, so she’s sold.
Still need to sort DRLs and spare key, will sort the key in a few weeks but not sure I can be bothered to spend 3-500£ to sort a couple of led strip lights.
