You are right about that last bit. My good wife complains bitterly about her car. She complained so about the previous car, a Mercury Sable that I traded it for a Toyota Avalon at significant loss given it was not all that old and had few miles on it. She has had no better time with the Toyota. She thinks cars should be perfect and never cause any issues.

No alternator light, no glow plug action, no cranking. Dead as a stone. Crap. I popped the hood and found that the positive battery cable had come loose, probably going over the speed bump just before I parked. (The clock had stopped at about the time I'd gotten to work.) Due to the way things are laid out there's a bit of tension on that cable that encourages such misbehavior. I got the wrenches out of the trunk and put the cable back. After that no problem, things were back to normal. Good thing this wasn't my wife's car! -- Jim _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
