Daughter bought a second hand car, the cap for the windscreen washer bottle was missing, guess how much a replacement rubber cap was. Not Mercedes by the way.

£39.78 was the price, hard to believe they could charge so much for a little piece of plastic!

I am sure you haven't bought one? I am also sure you will find something to fit?

No, didn't buy it, she contacted the dealer she got the car from and they posted one out to her, no doubt taken from another car. Which is probably why hers was missing in the first place.

Your daughter hasn't actually bought one? That's the kind of thing that you might see if you wander around a local scrap yard .....

The DRL LED in my nearside headlamp unit has gone half intensity (not a Mercedes). A new headlamp unit is £2,200 +VAT.
It's staying that way.

My C Class DRL was faulty, the headlight controller needed replaced, not the headlight itself, a bargain at only £250.

I look around new cars and I see plenty of electronics waiting to malfunction you just know they will be overpriced.

And now of course the all-seeing diagnostic kit gets plugged in when the car could tell you itself for nothing, order its replacements and tell you how to fit it..

How many of these cars would you want to drive across the Australian outbavg

A relative's husband works in procuring and supplying parts for the Aircraft and Nuclear Industry and he literally has tales of £300 o-rings.

It's all about the accompanying paperwork.
