No. 2 daughter has a Mercedes SLK which is clearly a Freitag nachmittag model.

It has had a variety of bits fall off or stop working.

The latest one today is that it has thrown some electronic wobbly and gone native, it won't go over 50MPH and the little screen says "Achtung!" and some other stuff she couldn't pronounce. ::)

It will be goose-stepping back to the main dealer in the morning for the latest denial about never having seen one do that before. evil:

Perhaps a trip to the Nissan showroom ist in ordnung?

I think I mentioned elsewhere that I had a C180 that did that...

Apparently detects a tiny amount of metal waste in the gearbox oil and assumes the whole car is about to self-destruct.  noooo:

What about the latest generation of Honda diesels eh? They seem pretty sweet to me - almost undetectable as diesels.
