After 3 months without the issues, hassles and grief that go with Mercedes ownership, I decided life was too easy and bought a '56 plate w221 on Friday.....
Guess where it's going tomorrow....
That's right, MB workshop for repair.
Nothing major I hope, ABS, ESP, Tyre pressure detection, Cruise/speedtronic and brake hold all disabled themselves. I suspect it's just a sensor or control unit they all share, we'll see what Star says. Conveniently, the Audi dealer I bought it from is right next to Mercedes and it was booked straight in to MB with no trouble, very helpful indeed.
I sort of expected some teething trouble with a car that's been sitting a while so we'll see what the next few weeks brings.
I love the car though, it's so quiet and comfortable. Has most of the toys I would use and is missing some I would like. The only thing I really miss are the Xenon lights, the ones on this car are very poor and I may have to investigate a HID upgrade if the Osram Nightbreaker H7s I've ordered don't improve things.
Took it a run today, I'll post up an album later....
