He was honest and said “Maybe we do it wrong - but we don’t have that issue with other cars”
He said if you want a nice sports car buy a Spares or Repair Merc SLK with gearbox issues - 9 times out of 10 it’s an easy fix.
Most often a filter and fluid flush and change sorts it.
And I’ve looked - they’re really cheap!!

This will be the first job my TF has needed in over a year Clive, its developed a slight knock when pulling away from stationary, its either the lower engine mount or the small upper rear arm on the N/S, not a big job.
But these mechanics just see the badge and think the worst, the MGR stigma is still fresh in everyone's mind it seems.
As for SLK's, apart from gearboxes made of jelly, they have awful looking front and rear lights...
