I don't doubt what you are saying...I just wish that it wasn't true.

I just finished doing the glow plugs in my 606 on Saturday. It was not an easy job to remove all the stuff to get to them, but overall it wasn't that bad. I find working on my Mercedes to be a refreshing change from other vehicles that I have owned. To quote my brother as he peered underneath my Mercedes for the first time when it was up on the lift, "It looks like it was designed by people who actually care."
