Hi there boys and girls,
I am THE most unlucky person on the planet when it comes to cars. I've had two 7-Series and various other marques that all seem to break or die. So, I'm dipping my tow in to the World of Merc with a W221 S320 CDI. I'd like to say "so far, so good", but after 3 weeks of ownership, one-or-two gremlins have raised their heads (I'll post questions about them if I can't figure them out).


Anyway, hello and cross your fingers for me...hopefully, this one will last.


Paul.

Welcome to MBWorld. That's the problem with flagship vehicles regardless of make.... too much technology packed in... one more thing to go wrong. Hope your run with MB works out better than your previous

I hate to say "I told you so", but I told you so. My bad luck follows me around like a bad smell. I know have a suspension creak and the parking brake went "CLUNK" and has decided to stop working.
