Hi,
Just been quoted, £475 from dealer to replace the front only discs and pads. I'm fairly mechanically competent and have changed many previous cars brake discs and pads. Total cost of genuine discs and pads from Newcastle MB dealer is £182 delivered. However, the Air suspension and missing car jack with the car puts me off. The thing that concerns me is, the car has an odd function of dropping to the floor, like some kind of lowered racer if any tyres are removed. This I found out at Kwik fit and had to make the staff aware to not try and lift my arches with their hands to get the tyres under after removal.
As soon as you start the engine the air suspension levels and lifts off the floor, it does actually look quite cool, shame you can't press a button for parking, not that I would be likely candidate for a car meet anymore.
I guess Mercedes are making cars ever less serviceable for competent home mechanics.
