Great tip @markjay , I will look Terry up!

Many thanks @merc estate , I am veering in that direction, I think my main priority now is to get the car serviced to the level it should be for it's age and mileage, as per Mercedes specifications, that's probably money that is better spent.

I believe it's the 7G+ transmission @markjay , so going by the 5 years, it should have been done in 2019!

Thank you @markjay ! Our messages crossed, from what I can see on the service records, the ATF was not done in 2019, I called the garage to confirm, and they said that they did not do this...

Great feedback @markjay , thank you, and thanks for the welcome too! I am in agreement about getting the feel of the car, the immediate overheating fault made me a little wary, but thanks for the information regarding the dealer's obligations and my consumer / statutory rights, something I will...

Thanks Raspy, me too! When the temperature fault initially occurred, I called the RAC who connected their diagnostic kit and found the water pump fault, everything else came up clear, but I appreciate that their roadside testing rig would probably not be as comprehensive as one a specialist...

Good plan Raspy, and very logical! (it should have occurred to me in the first instance!). I will certainly give it a shot and will feed back if I manage to speak to someone.

Thanks W1ghty, sound advice, am in the Wandsworth area, I will update my details
