Hi all
Just had my car serviced today. B service, at a Mercedes garage. It came through with a clean bill of health apart from a faultcode, not told what the code is and didn`t ask either, which said the speed sensor in the gearbox is faulty. They quoted £485 to change. I have had problems with it being stuck in second, twice it has done it, wouldn`t even let me select manually. Once it wouldn`t drive at all. When I booked it in for a service I asked for the gearbox fluid and filters to be changed, but they said it was fine, colour consistency and grade was fine as was the level in the gearbox. Just looking for your respected opinions, should I have it done and is it a reasonable price? Should I get a second opinion?
Many thanks in advance
