Hi all,
I have just had to pay over £300 to get a gearbox sump gasket changed on my E500. It was spotted by Mecedes Lakeside during an MOT.
It seemed to me that on a 2004 car with 41,000 miles and a full MBSH, a gasket shouldn't fail unless it had been badly fitted in the first place, so I have written to MBUK to ask them for an eskulab goodwill payment.
I'll update this thread with what happens.
In the meantime has anybody else had a similar failure or this my problem an unusual one
