06' E320cdi estate .2010 sprinter 313
hello.
1st forum ever and 1st MB car brought in Sept 2015 with useless warranty from Mb indy in leicester. I also have issue's with injectors on this 101k E320cdi 2006 facelift avntgarde estate brought for £7500.
1/Since purchase ,the lights were very poor so issue raised with supplying garage who found no fault on diagnostic. I replaced bulbs with Osram upgrades. Now plenty light but poor range offering little confidence at speed over 40 on A roads.
Please note my 'work' is nationwide in my own 906 sprinter running Ozzy Nightbreakers+. My eyesight is exceptional for my age.
2/The garage again offered no solution on enquiry.and sometimes the lights failed intermittantly on left mainly, and also did not dance a jiggle or level off.
3/ I used a drive thru car wash in November. within days LH light failed and then RH. The garage on dismantling front of car diagnosed water in both Controllers and quoted £170each. On delivery they were wrong ,and the right parts would be £420 each.
This infuriated me . the garage denied any warrenty issue, and i took to the web. I ordered new units from German ebay for £240 delivered , and found that it's a known issue that water gets into the lights and electronics.
Garage fitted units for labour costs and car was in garage from Dec 8 to Jan 4 as parts got lost over christmas.

Car collected last week, and within 1 day ,LH lift failed completely. I have lost faith in garage, BUT they are inspecting it right now as solicitor says i must allow them another chance to fix. along with repeating injector seals failing, i have no wish to keep car. the fiancee primary user having lost all faith on her purchase choice, and the garage reticent and lacking any empathy or service standards other than billing us more.

Please advise on anything you read here. it would be much appreciated.
 
The independent is MB leicester. a sister to MB nottingham. Both run by the same crew.
