I've reached that point in fixing up the new CL175 where I didn't properly anticipate which parts I'd need, and so for each little operation that requires something I don't have, I now get to call up the dealership and order it.
The conversation inevitably ends with, "Ok, that should be here in 5 to 7 business days." Thus, what would have been a two-hour operation turns into a week-plus-long operation. I could order these parts online, but I've always seen about a two-week wait on those parts, so it's not really an improvement. Plus, although the parts are cheaper online ($3.70 vs. $5.20), there's also the $6 shipping fee.
Fortunately, the parts I'm now waiting on ($5 worth of dust seal and a weird-size washer) don't necessarily prevent me from doing other work, so I'm not completely stuck. Still, it's frustrating to be part-way through a task, and then realize that you're missing a part, and that this necessitates taking a week-long break to finish it.
