- pixels stuffed on the dash clock (not sure if it's anything other than a clock)
- front and rear parking sensors erroring
- stitching come off on the driver's seat bolster (but the leather itself is in unusually unworn and soft condition for a car with thick bolsters)
- pneumatic controls for the seat air bladders not working.
Yesterday my garage remote fell under the seat. Before realising it would be safe to simply move the seat back on its rails, I spent a few minutes trying to pull it through a small gap. About this time I noticed a plastic tube and a rubber one that should probably have been connected. Plugged the together and the pneumatics were back in business for both seats!
I am proud/ashamed (happy to go with your feelings on the matter) to say I hadn't got around to washing the car this whole time. Took it to a self wash place yesterday and enjoyed having a good look around the body. Mercedes obviously know a lot about layering on the paint thick. By far the best condition paintwork of any car I've had. But I can understand how these cars rust away in countries that aren't as dry and snowless as Australia- every tiny stone chip was brown, rather than the typical in my experience white/cream colour.
Anyway, the parking sensors were obviously just dirty because after the wash they started working perfectly!
