    If you left the instructions for the "Mouse Blocker" in the glove box, that rookie mistake is how they learned and read about how to destroy the correct wires and the horn for added safety. The car has really transformed and its so frustrating to me when you know how to fix the front suspension yet nothing goes right. (I call it, " The are you kidding me, headache.") Great shows as always.

    We run a 1996 saloon version of your wagon, for 10 years, it was only the 200 and had a manual gear box, but it was one of the most reliable and comfortable cars we have ever owned. They are not collectors items by any means today, but they still represent capacious, comfortable and reliable family transport and what you are doing to an unfashionable, but still amazing vehicle is commendable. May I recommend that you look at the first generation CLS 320 CDI at some point, because that was what we went over to from the 200 E Class and we still have it - it is a marvellous car!

    To get rid of the mice try saturating some cotton wool with peppermint oil and leaving it under the bonnet as mice are not fond of that smell.

    I had a similar mouse problem. They decided to eat the headliner in my 1972 Satellite Sebring. I was told to use dryer sheets and Irish Spring soap. The mice used the dryer sheets for nesting material and chewed on the soap. I could almost hear them laughing at me for this foolish attempt at mouse thwartage.
    I’ve had better success with the ultra-sonic noise makers, but nothing so far has completely deterred the little vandals.
    I look forward to seeing what successful solution you come up with.
