they replaced the clamp and while they were at it changed the RHS cat as it had a cracked weld.

Just noticed from the paper work they changed to window switches again (they'd only been done about 10,000 miles back) as they were intermittent.

They also replaced to sound deadening pads on the doors as they were loose.

Nothing too major (and I'm being generous here) has really gone wrong with my ML just a continual trickle of annoyances. A couple of which have left my wife stranded....

I'd like to keep the ML longer after it's out of warranty - but not sure if I can be doing with its bi-monthly trips to the shop....
