  The Manager told me the following: The car had just come in in part-exchange, this was born out by the fact it had not been valeted yet. The car had been supplied by the dealer to it?s previous owner four years previously and he had now brought it back and traded it in for an E Class They already knew about the suspension and it would be checked and rectified The car would be subject to a 144 point check, and would have a new MOT The car would be given a 6 month warranty I returned 1 week later to have another look, the car had now been prepared for re-sale, looked stunning, and had just had new front springs fitted for which I was shown the receipt.

  Bought a new Sachs Shock for my mechanic  to fit but he's had to put the old one back on as its missing a bracket that goes up to what we've identified  is the levelling sensor for the Xenon HID headlights. The bracketv s welded on to the side of the shock so cannot be transferred, and the new one has this pointy but that locates it in the hub fork which is welded on so would be in thexway if we tried to cut off the one on the old shock, and my mechanic  is unwilling to do any modification.
