Update on the brakes. The garage done some investigation and both discs were warped. He believes it's using aftermarket parts so I've put some genuine mercedes discs and pads on so we'll see how it goes
Thanks all for the advice.
No but it always seems to roll freely when it goes into park or neutral. I'll jack it up on my next day off and spin the wheel see if I can hear anything
Hi all has anyone experienced vibrations braking down from motorway speeds ? At first I thought it was a warped disc so I had the discs and pads replaced. 2 months later same thing, thought it was faulty parts so replaced them again under warranty 2 months later same vibrations are back. So...
OK thanks ill take it to a different garage.
I think merc aren't interested if the star machine doesn't give them clear instructions to replace specific parts. It's not really old fashioned fault finding
Hi I'm not sure they messurd it while it was off because it looses the codes once its been switched off.
They gave me the paper work not sure if this tells you anything ?
Hi all I've been having an intermittent problem with my exhaust pressure
The car goes into restricted mode usually from cold and acceleration onto a dual carriageway.
No eml light but when read shows up fault

So its been a few weeks now since the dpf sensor replacement and the car has been great. So far no issues so I think its done the trick. Thanks for all the help and advice everyone, I hope this thread will help someone else in the future if they find themselves with a similar problem.
Hi all sensor has been replaced so fingers crossed. I'll know if its done the trick in a week or so, it never went more than a week without playing up. Waterhouse mercedes in Braintree have been very good and very helpful.
Thanks again everyone I will update in a few weeks.
Hi all, quick update.
Today it played up on the way home from work and I managed to get it into Waterhouse mercedes in Braintree as they we closest. Without turning the car off they drove it agreed there was something going on and managed to get a code relating to the dpf pressure sensor?
So...
Hi yeah I think its something like that. I should here back from a transmission specialist in the morning to get the ball rolling. Thanks for all the advice guys been a real help ill post an update hopefully with good news soon.
I'm in eseex near Chelmsford they are an mb only garage so I hope they can sort it if not I've got a few more options to try. All depends on what kind of feedback I get when I explain it to them. If its a ghostly silence down the phone maybe time to look around lol.
Yeah I know people with the same engine and gearbox over 100k no issues that's why I went for it, but things fail just hope they can get to the bottom of it quickly
Thanks Matthew ill relay that to the garage in the week, it has been on the diagnostic machine and didn't show any faults but it definitely isn't right other than that the car is amazing such a shame obviously the reason it was traded in.
