That fortnight is the main reason I can’t get planning permission to buy it.
This is one I’ll regret.
When you borrowed it the car was running a non-OEM MAF, which caused stalling problems at idle and (when I replaced it) noticeably improved fuel economy. The PO had replaced the Mercedes unit with a non-Mercedes "Bosch MAF" when on holiday in Scotland, I discovered from inspecting the paperwork.
Absolutely everything on the car now is OEM Mercedes - I could probably qualify for a main dealer warranty if the car wasn't 12 years old.
I drove down to Bedgebury and back yesterday with a bike on the roof, at (ahem) a spirited 70 miles per hour (+/- 20 mph), and got 24.1 mpg.
Nothing on the roof and being a bit more observant of the speed limit and you'd do a lot better.
