Brand new Merc. 11 miles on the clock.

Lasted well. Many minutes of useful life.

Oh shoot , that's not good

Mercedes recall me thinks

 

[Grumps]

Oooh dear me. That's not good.

 

[Mint]

As they say sh*t happens, even to Merc

 

[Redline]

Somebody must have known it was going to happen. That bit of tarmac had been coned off for quite some while and cones were there until at least last weekend.

It's a Mercedes Fire Engine

 

[Lenny b]

Not great......

 

[Shelly]

Whoops , how disappointing for the owner

 

[MalcQV]

There's a big bang regularly going on under these bonnets. Fires are going to happen from time to time unfortunately.

Mercedes don't you just love them
Used to be my make of choice until my 2 year old cls had a gearbox failure at 22k miles. Took the dealer 3 goes at fixing it.
Lost the love .
