a) Fuel consumption of ML270CDi on town roads? on motorways?
(my honda crv 1998 auto is giving me 28miles in town for £10
[email protected]/litre) (18/mpg/town.....24/mpg/motorway)
b) Servicing costs how much does it cost for a Major Service 'B'?
how much does it cost for a Minor 'A' Service? and how
frequently have you had to have had it serviced? (eg: every
6,000 miles?, or every 16months?)
c) how much does it cost to extend a genuine mercedes
warranty? (my honda warranty extended for 3 years cost me
£685)
d) have you had any niggles? wallowing? squeaks? iv read a lot of reports all have quite frankly put me the merc.
