You'll know my dream car has had, shall we say, the odd gremlin like command shutting down, a couple of dash warnings, water leak in the boot, misaligned boot lid, noisy and erratic fan/s?.
Well, I had my visit yesterday to MB Harrogate and, quite unexpectedly, I was met by the SM who spent a good twenty minutes with me going into detail about my problems. She (car) went into the workshop for a couple of hours then the foreman came out and spent another twent or thirty minutes with me and her explaining all about STAR, CAN BUSES, operators, fault codes, software downloads, etc.
The upshot is my car is fixed (via a mixture of the above) as far as was possible yesterday but needs a new radiator/ac fan to be on the safe side (£500 if I was paying ) and a boot seal as the old one has a slight nick in it both of which are a piece of cake to fit and they will be here next week.
Talk about relief and, if I'm not mistaken, Tina Turners legs look a whole lot better on Comand now!
