See, the thing is, we have to have a limp mode (on all OBDII cars, not just MBZ) specifically for people like you. People who would otherwise keep driving a malfunctioning vehicle, damaging the vehicle, the enviroment, and endangering other motorists. Like you said you'd like to do:

I wouldnt care so much if I had a little miss and could drive it safe to my destination, but the stinking Limp Mode makes it run like crap, holds up traffic, fouls the spark plugs and is dangerous.

By the way, it's not limp mode that fouls plugs and makes it dangerous to drive, limp mode is only supposed to be enough to get to the side of the road so you can safely exit and arrange another mode of transport for either you or the vehicle. If you continue driving it, you're the problem not the car.
People like you who want to do it themselves and not bother to correctly diagnose the vehicle are the biggest part of the problem. People who get a cheap generic scan tool and read stored codes, or go to Autozone and have them do it, and decide to start replacing things, without taking the time to find the actual problem. People who just throw parts at it and then complain about how expensive it is to own. Like you said you'd been doing:

So go ahead and complain. The louder you do, the more the government will notice and make further laws to protect you from yourself, even if it does annoy you...
