Long time no updates.

Tank is Alive and Kicking, and better than ever. With me moving overseas in 2016, car has suffered a bit and a few niggles popped up, as listed below.

1) Whole Vacuum system failed and that caused everything dependent on it to fail as well, like central locking, rear headrest drop function, central AC vents and a few other tit bits.

2) Front power windows were jammed and due to load they were blowing up fuse almost after every usage.

3) Sticky and a Jerky throttle.

4) Brakes were almost non existent.

5) Tyres even though had enough tread had hardened up due to age.

So on my yearly trip in 2025, It was decided that I will have the car done up as I have no plans of selling it soon.
Now the question was, who will fix it, and it was none other than our In house W124 expert Viraat from Viraat’s Automotive Garage.
Location being Delhi, I had to flatbed a properly functional car to him, thanks to NGT.

Early February 2025, Car was driven 100kms and then the last 130kms in NCR limits were covered on a Flatbed.

More to follow.

NGT Fiasco cost me 15K for Flat Bed
