    How costly this s55 really is.

    Finally got it back after a month waiting for a tandem pump from Germany and a nice bill for £3,000. After the one for £2,000 for radiator etc, plus last year £700 for new eis. I always said I'd scrap a car if its repairs came close the the buying price , well it ain't far off now.

    Update s55 abc issue

    Two weeks in the garage now, new valve block fitted, rear level sensor, pressure sensor now looks like pump gone as won't hold pressure. For a pump with only 18,000 on it not good. Unfortunately no pumps available from mb, garage looking nation wide, sounds like a remortgage job.
