Hemi - mate I normally agreed with you on most issues, and haven't made any comment on this issue, however....

"For the people that got scared off to Buy a Merc CRD because of this thread, ride a push Bike cause the Automotive future is looking pretty scary for you... (Can't wait till all our cars are Electric Ya'll gonna Freak! ) "

Mate, I can't afford a new car and most likely won't in the near future, so my beasts will always have a few k's on them. I accept that with time I may need to replace a motor however if you are suggesting that I may end up paying $77k then you must be mad!

I accept your other points, but if you don't raise your eyebrows at the quoted replacement engine cost I wish I had your coin mate.


I'm thinking I like the old fashioned V8 petrol motor more and more.
