My wife's SLK200 is 5 years old, she bought it secondhand in Sussex.
I have had 5 different Mercedes cars and never found them to have heavy steering like this car. I have read one of your forum members, who has had a similar problem. We had Chichester MB try it out, they said all is normal.
Then yesterday the handbrake failed, it just flops back down, no ratchet or anything.
So we called the garage where we had purchased the SLK, it is still on a 6 months guarantee, they have taken the car away and are examining it.
Their immediate comment was "the steering seems OK and the handbrake ratchet is stuck".
So I wonder what we should be expecting, are there any points we should ask or look out for.
Thanks
