I replaced the boot struts for refurbished items and cleaned and painted the rear drums and wheel bolts.
What have you done to your car today?

I thought that but I was a bit surprised to find out the petrol Mondeo's have DMFs. Not 100% sure on the other parts
Today I took another lap on the non-stop roller-coaster that is my life by...buying a new phone holder.
Bit of a whim purchase, I used to use a Kenu Airframe in the drivers vent (pictured) with a USB cable tucked away leading to a 12v charger in the glove box socket. But its a round vent so I couldn't close it, which meant the phone would heat up in winter while blocking the air from getting to me. It was a bit fiddly to put in/take the phone out sometimes, and it was also a little low to see and use while on the move.
New holder is a screen mount, which I'm not usually keen on...but being magnetic means I can just chuck the phone on it, and it also charges wirelessly without having to plug it in. And the wires are routed behind the dash nicely to the same glove box charger.
Got it at Halfords for £40. For a phone holder. It was on sale, but even so, what the **** am I doing with my life :/

Locked my keys in the boot 
This was a huge flaw in the old generation s-class. So easy to do as the boot could be unlocked separately to the car on a separate button. Got me into trouble miles from home once and had to be flatbedded homeLocked my keys in the boot
Tracked it for the first time this year (see another thread with an obvious title for a video).
Great fun, but I think I need to adjust my front suspension a little higher, definitely some minor rubbing when hitting some corners fast and hard on the brakes.,

Stacked it into the garage wall. Most likely had it in R instead of D whilst manoeuvring and then floored it instead of stamping on the brakes.
As an ex-ambulance driver with a taxi licence she hasn’t taken it well..
Had the wheels powder coated, BFG AT ko2s fitted and clipped in my rattle can painted side vents. Some debadging and the bumper lowers to be painted then it’s proper murdered out.

Seems par for the course for a taxi driver.

When ever I see spacers, it’s like someone holding up a cross to a vampire.
