SLK went for MOT today, failed on brake pipes, garage asked me in and put car on the ramps for me to see, badly rusted pipes, mot tester said they are dangerous, and boy they are rusty.
What really cheesed me off though, was the fact that a few months ago I paid a local independant Merc 'specialist' over the top money for a not very good service, wrong plugs, bad info etc, and at that time he wrote on my receipt that the underside of my car needed wax oiling, as my brake pipes were showing signs of corrosion, but cover them in waxoil and it would be ok.........so it would seem that in a few short months my brake pipes went from very slight corrosion to dangerously rusty!!
On the plus side all the other faults that the 'specialist Merc garage' said were wrong with my car have all put themselves right
