Nightmare, it does smell of a dealer fek up though...

 

[mika]

bad news when the damage is so extensive
it makes you wonder whether you would want the car back or a new one
not to mention whos paying ..

i thought they were bomb proof, well the engines anyway

wonder why the engine management system didnt shut it down / put it into limp mode before things got too bad?

the chap has just posted photos on the other site ...horrendous

 

[BlackC55]

The engines are not bomb proof. The worst fault I've seen is snapping head bolts!!!

Not in true keeping with the standard of AMG engines at all IMO

There are a few more faults too with them. I just can recall them right now.

But does your dealer go by the name of M Mouse?

Must confess, that photo finally answers my wondering about how the passenger airbag deploys without blowing shards of plastic dash everywhere. (Only mentioned it last weekend to Mrs TDE1, who spent the remainder of the journey a bit more fidgety than normal.)
