help and advise on buying and reporting what may be an unsafe car (cars!) to drive
Helpful member
Hola one and all WOW what a time! I had this very big Mercedes S430 the parking brake did not work The disc pads on the front must have been the wrong size, as only a small part of the disc was rust free there was a vat amount of travel with the foot brake, I was told I needed a "bomb" (master cylinder)
as I bought the car from Specialist Vehicles in San Javier I returned the car, they asked for €950 more for this MG TF
so I thought this was cheaper then the repairs to the Mercedes (quoted €1500)
But the engine of the MG blew up! there was a grating noise ,that stopped when I dropped a gear (it sounded like the gearbox)
I had only owned the MG two weeks what had happened the water pump was the grating noise, I only drove less then a mile
and parked outside my home, that the car was just clouds of steam!!
Now Specialist Vehicles "did" say I could have the Mercedes back but they would keep the €950 for repairs to the MG
I do not wish for ether car back on the grounds the Mercedes Brakes and the MG was not fit for purpose now they will not respond to my e-mails what can I do
