Wifes car stuck in first (2001 320 auto) 300 miles away from home . Tow truck took her to Mercedes indie who said that, maybe drink-etc, had damaged the gear changer electrics.

Garage said it was a sealed unit, so difficult to get into the electonics. Only way was new replacement (£400), plus fitting £100, and then of course the diagnostics before and after £100.

£600 plus vat ??

Do these give up like this and is their no way to repair. Is the old one worth anything?

New is really the only option I'm afraid.
