The life of a 560 SEL / Das Leben von einem 560 SEL

The main purpose of this website is not to explain every single detail of a 560SEL, but rather to just give you the idea of what it is like to live day to day with the best thing to roll out of Sindelfingen. I will list the maintenance that is performed, the adventures I have and everything in between.

Mit dieser Website kannst du alles über meinen Erfahrungen mit meiner S-klasse. Ich schreibe von Unterhalt, Plege, Abenteuer und alles dazwischen.

New list of things to be done

Like all semesters at school, this current semester is proving to be a bit of a challenge. However it's not just for me, but for the 560SEL as well. So here is what I'll be doing once the Christmas holidays come and I have a bit of free time.

Bumper touch up - someone, who most likely is incapable of using mirrors, backed into my front bumper at a 90 degree angle creating a few annoying scrapes which will need some attention.

Tie Rods - or something that causes a bit of play in the steering as well as a subtle clunk at low speeds while turning the wheel

Major Detail - the car isn't filthy, but just requires a deep down clean. The light grey interior shows stains easily, and the carpets should be shampooed. Over all I think I'll go over the car with a tooth brush.

Dent Repair - another dent has been discovered on the driver's door, only visible in certain lighting conditions, but it can be seen from 15 metres away. This makes for three dents overall that I will look into repairing.

Chrome Replacement above the driver's window - Recently someone tried to break into the car in an underground parking lot of a downtown shopping mall. It looks like they attempted to pry the window, which put a small, but ugly dent into the chrome above.

And to give you a mileage update, I am currently just under 108,000km.
