Nice work! Still no call-back from Mercedes. It's probably no coincidence that directly opposite the dealership is a "we'll scratch it for cash" hand car-wash where the only things in worse condition than the "washed" cars as they leave the forecourt are the cleaners' hands from exposure to all the TFR.I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

I took the Disco into an insurance nominated body shop after some euro box decided to bump the front whilst it was parked.
Not much damage, just a couple 2” lines of cracked paint to the bumper against the other car which needs a new hatch and bumper, but when I got the car back today from the body shop, I discovered they’d oversprayed a bit of the bumper plastics including the headlamp wash.
No apologies, just bring it back on Monday as they are on a 3 day week.
They have one chance to put it right. I am just fed up with always being the one for whom things just don’t go right.
There's 105 pages in this thread that suggest you may not be alone.....I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

Haven’t looked out, been watching The Expanse which needs a bit of concentration. I suspect they may have figured out their own way back.

That I have been in the DRC since the beginning of January, they have recorded to quote " 30.000 cases of COVID, +/- 900 deaths total to date" ( I do take this with a pinch of salt, as I am from Africa!) but this country has been on the red list from day one but you have India, Pakistan etc. that weren't.
Now I have to pay £1750 to quarantine and they have only been put on the list now???2008 D3 HSE Stornoway Grey (UK)

Sorry, I hadn't seen the photos of your underside that appears to be licked clean. Umm...
Seriously, what sort of does that? Unless, of course, it's the sort of that thinks he'll parachute in and offer you peanuts "because it's not selling".
Where are the comments Rob? I've had a quick look and I can't see anything. Happy to post contrary comments about the soundness of my purchase from you. It'll be an honest one because I did buy from you and it was straight. Give me a tinkle if you like - happy to put a comment or two up if it helps. Visiting from rrsport.co.uk

I swear the next time one of my neighbours doubles parks on the pavement , all 4 x wheels , I’m going to call the car removal fairies via a tow rope
there are a few disabled people living round here in wheelchairs and have to go into the road , plus The amount of times they have blocked emergency vehicles , dustbin lorries so they can’t complete there rounds and yet council won’t do a thing
Well that’s my moan for the day

We did start watching Young Montelbano but that was taking 3 stints per episode. Usually the stop symbol was me nodding off!
