I have owned this amazing machine since September last year and I have a few niggling issues and I am hoping some folks on here will be able to help me more than my local garages have!

My biggest issue is that since I have bought this car I have been through 9 sets of front brake discs and 2 rear seats due to warping, I have tried every make even Mercedes own twice, and my local garage cannot find anything obvious wrong,

Now to help you diagnose my problem I will help you with a little of the background in how it occurs,

When the new disks are fitted I get reasonably smooth braking during the first 500 running in miles and then from then on its down hill! It can sometimes be within a week and they are completely warped to smithers,

Callipers are all in good condition, brake pads are wearing down equally, ect.

The mechanic keeps on telling me it's the way I drive but that surely dosnt make sense, as Mercedes have obviously made the braking system cope with the power of the car, I would presume anyway,

And I have tried vented disks, grooved disks, everything, and to no avail,



Please please can someone send me in the right direction,
I am willing to pay for a proper repair as I am spending far too much on disks and just ain't a joke anymore!


Lookin forward to hearing from u guys!
