[QUOTE="BillB, post: 2360857, member: 9985"] The news on the car front is all good. Mercedes kept my car from Monday until Wednesday midday and when they called me to tell me it was ready they also informed me that they had replaced the entire ignition system with completely new parts, they had taken the car out for a thorough testing and were satisfied that the ignition problem had been conquered. I was delighted and drove to the showroom as soon as I could. They handed me my key back with best wishes and apologies, told me where it was parked in the lot and I whipped out to give it a try. On the drive home I pulled over several times to give it a test. The engine duly stopped, I waited a few seconds, then moved my foot from the brake to the accelerator. The engine restarted perfectly. It has performed like this ever since and is the car I expected when I ordered it. The next time we spoke to my son, who had worked at Mercedes before he left to start his own business in France, I told him the whole story. His answer was that glitches like this happen from time to time. I have to say that Mercedes was prompt in tracing the basic fault, provided me with a replacement car for the period it was in the workshop and carried out the work as quickly as possible. I'm now the happy owner of a car that runs perfectly, and when I've given it a little bit of welly on the motorway it accelerates at a prodigious rate. I haven't given give it a full out blast yet as it's still so new, but it looks very promising. [/QUOTE]
