What a good happy ending to the fuel tank saga!

Just picked up the 240D after getting the front calipers rebuilt including new discs, pads and wheel bearings, plus four new brake hoses and an A/C regas.

Drives very nicely even on this 40C day, although the A/C isn't so great when you're stopped in traffic. Need to look at making the aux can come on more frequently as it works quite well under way.

Turns out the aux fan is dead. The relay clicks, but the fan does not come on even when the relay is bypassed. So new fan on order.
I am about to take the car on a trip to Brisbane and back, which will be my first big trip in the car.

And I re-installed the Becker 596 with hidden bluetooth box.
Driving a classic MB without a becker is like going to france and not eating the cheese.

Last weekend I took the 240D on a road trip to Brisbane. the car did very well, returning around 9l/100km at pretty much wide open throttle the whole way.
