My c230k has been booked in for new pads and discs for over 1 week but due to the s124 already in the garage requiring some parts from Germany, the swap over hasn't yet happened.
And today, the little brake light came on (for the first time ever) It works! I'd always wondered about it and had being half expecting something to appear. And now it has. And this is around 6 months after they told me that it all needed changing. Still, the discs were last changed 8/2008 so I have done remarkably well to get to 12/2011.
Luckily I have confirmation of the swapover tomorrow at the garage and having 2 cars means the c230k can go in for refurbishment after Christmas. Oh how I have agonised over trashing it and getting a hyper efficient diesel or even a c43 estate, but it seems such a shame to abandon it after 11 years and 149,000 miles (now on 165,000).
