    Timing chains??

I’ll keep you all...

    Thank you for your reply, it does have a full MB service history, it is due for a service at the end of this month, I’ll book it in tomorrow & mention the noise, in the meantime I’ll try & post a vid of the noise, If it was your car would you carry on driving it? Thanks Paul

    Paint problems

    So it’s been a while but at last it has been re-sprayed, they said they took 3 layers of paint off?? They even took pictures of the process & emailed them to us which I thought was a nice touch, the end result is amazing, back to showroom condition, extremely pleased.
