so my c180 cut out but restarted with the eml on and was in limp home mode on Thursday night, so friday morning went to drop my car off at mercedes in my JLR technicians uniform, woman went through the back came back and said “can you not just fix it yourself” (well yea of course i could but i have only had it 5 months) so i tell her “its under warranty still” as it is why should i have to pay for parts, so she went back through the back and i overhear her saying “he says its under warranty” (im a bit annoyed at this point as she was talking down to me just because she was the service manager and im not wearing a suit and tie, why should i be treated differently), anyway she reluctantly booked me in next friday and i asked for a courtesy car, she said there was 1 left and i would get it on friday when i dropped it off, i tell her i cannot drive that as its liable to cut out again and cause an accident, she said i cannot have a coutresy car for a week, i say so what happens now then, she says just drive it and if it breaks down just call the free recovery number and it will be collected! Eh no what if it causes an accident! So reluctantly she goes away and makes a phone call to the recovery team and says ok you will get a courtesy car, another c class and it will be dropped off at my house, brilliant happy with that, greatfull to get something. Gets home to a car a bloody diesel estate 2 things in a car i would never buy! But still happy i got something. So my first diesel estate car and i dont like it, sure its punchy but that durga durga durga diesel noise at idle yuk, how do you diesel guys live with it?
