I found out that Mercedes wanted a video using their equipment of the problem. It was just done with a special mike and what looked like a smartphone of some sort. The dealer had not been able to get a video, I don't really know why, so they called me and asked me to come in.
I went there yesterday and took one of their techs out in the car. To be fair the noise was very sporadic indeed until the car had warmed up. The first tech became ill just as the noise started (yes really) so I went out with another guy who heard the noises and grabbed a video. Typically the noise level was not as loud as normal so Mercedes will probably think they have an awkward customer (if they didn't think that already!). I left the car at the dealer who is now waiting on a decision from Mercedes AMG.

Dragon, I don't think you are being awkward. You parted with a lot of money, and expect to enjoy it in peace, even my 2008 Mini Cooper with sports suspension doesn't
have rattles, although I half expect it given how old it is.
It makes me wonder if they really test the cars for the for the number of km's they proudly advertise.
I had a W204 back in 2007, went into the dealer on more than 10 occasions, in the end the rattle was found to be due to a poor weld, after stripping the entire rear section.
Hope it gets sorted for you. I am getting paranoid now, memories, memories.

This was the only car from many rare and expensive sports cars I was aloud to take a photo of there was a Zonda in there that was the only one in the world gorgeous special order built for someone famous no doubt.

Looks fantastic Michael, will be even better when detailed however it can't really compete with the Pagani. Coincidentally I saw a Pagani parked up in Sheffield a few days ago. First one I've ever seen in the UK.

Looking forward to next weekend when I go back to Topaz to pick up and see the finished results
will be the first real drive of this beast apart from a very very short test drive when it arrived yesterday at Topaz. Felt good and sounded even better than I thought it would.

Your car's stance is spot on from my point of view. Just the right gap above the wheels and spaced correctly. You still have 15mm spacers on the front?
