- C250CDI (C320CDI & SLK350, Sold) & the Trusty Citigo
Took my C250cdi for a new rear exhaust box (the baffles had come loose and were rattling), 2 recall jobs - rear light and lock fix and a comand update.
No problem, a 40 mile drive in slightly snowy weather over the Cumbrian fells.
Dealer starts fixing the car, I go for a nice tasty breakfast then return to pick up the car. Except the comand update had broken comand completely and 'some other things'. Need to keep the car another day, again no problem, all under warranty.
They have provided me with a brand new C250cdi, 20 miles on the clock which is nice. Off I go, heading home.
The snow has changed to rain in copious amounts, and I find way way home now under 4 feet of water thanks to rain and high tide.
I can either try a slightly higher route that crosses the river upstream or take a detour of 100 miles that includes the M6 from J36 up Shap (maybe in the snow) to J40.
The slightly higher route was just passable
