A work mate had a Mercedes with his last job, the service indicator told him it was due but the chap in charge of vehicles told him ''not to bother'' as they got rid of there cars at 18 months and it would not be a problem
A couple of weeks later the screen came up with a bigger warning that it was overdue and some warnings.
Two days later and about 3000 miles over due it service a warning flashed up and it went into limp mode, he was on a motorway stuck doing 30mph with as much power as a moped.
He rung his manager and was told to limp the car back to the office, it was booked into a local garage ( non Mercedes) and the car was returned as they could not service it ( SPECIAL TOOLS REQUIRED).
If this is what we have to come it will see a lot of perfectly good cars going to scrap as the cost of keeping them on the road will be more that the average person can afford.
