So we get the nice new (well, 12 months old) E Class loaded up and head off to the beautiful French resort of La Rochelle. This initially involves a 450 mile blast from Glasgow to Portsmouth.
We get as far as Tebay services when the air-con seems to stop conning the air. On the hottest day of the year.
Arriving at Mercedes Benz Portsmouth, we are told that the pump/compressor (which also drives just about everything else in the car) is wrecked and we're lucky to have made it to Portsmouth.
Mobilo kicks into gear and provides us with a reasonably nice VW Passat Estate to continue our journey.
12 months in ?!?!? Major mechanical failure??!?!
