Thank you Smart 320 I’ll get it checked in a garage soon. I’m still waiting on getting a whole respray due to the well known paint flaking/peeling issues!! Don’t need any other issues!! 😀☺️xx

Mark jay, thank you so much for your replies I got home ok. And the message has disappeared from my dash, and no lights are on! Very strange. C xx

This error popped up along with abs light coming on in my c220 2013 and I’m 50 miles away from home..... is it safe to drive to get hone to garage? Manual is at home so that’s no help to me at this point. thanks for all your help. Claire xxx

Hang in in there, patience I’m hoping is the key!! Take care and goodluck xx

Hello folks, I thought I’d post a wee update!! So things are not working out as easily as I first thought!! I’ve taken my car into the Merc Bodyshop on 3 different occasions now for them to take pictures!!! Seemingly Mercedes can’t see all the blemishes the way the expert in the garage can see...

Your all amazing. Ty so much.... turns out it needs everything done as nothing been done for over 3 years, so I’m biting the bullet and getting everything done in one go including gear oil change etc etc etc at an Indy garage which has great customer service and reviews.... and yes I’ll keep all...

Hi there, thank you so much. That’s very kind of you I’ll do that just now.

Hey, I should probably tell you that if the whole car is in need of a re spray, they will not do the bumpers or wing mirror covers as they are plastic!!! But for £360 of my own money they will do those bits too, so effectively getting the whole car done!! Goodluck, let us know how it goes...

Hi Jim, no atm I haven’t, and in all honesty didn’t know they existed till a couple of folk mentioned them today. Maybe indeed something to consider

Thx so much for all your help and advice peeps I really do appreciate it xx

Thx for all that, kinda blown my non mechanical mind. I have no service history, the garage I bought it from wouldn’t give it to me for legal reasons as it had previous owners address on it etc..... all I know is it hasn’t been to a merc garage since 2016....

That’s the unfortunate thing about Inverness Mercedes, they do come with Arnold Clark attached!! I spend a lot of time in the Edinburgh area anyway so may just check it out!

Perhaps I should use a more central location other than Inverness... maybe try Glasgow or Edinburgh!! Might get a better deal than Inverness. Thank you

Thank you so much for your reply, I didn’t know you could get a quote online..... I may just try that myself now too. Do you have to give your details?

Thanks so much for your reply
