Re: Sics Consolidated Moderns Thread - 2003 Mercedes-Benz E320 Estate

It reminds me very much of the Saab 9-3 I had. The drive position and control responsiveness makes me so much calmer and less stressed when driving. Like I can't be bothered to overtake a dawdler.

Last time I checked SBC was fixed for free by M-B, as already mention by Rev Bluejeans. Have you contacted your local, friendly* dealer to see if there is goodwill available on this safety critical item?

16 miles, uphill, cross country. Diesels take an age to warm-up and anything with a DPF would choke-up. The return is downhill all the way.

It'd have been a very short flight if you'd have bought my Merc.

This Merc cabriolet I've got. Surprisingly charming old bus. The steering is lovely.
