Plenty of clonk now from the under carriage of course as befits 140k miles of speed humps... You really ought to get a better satnav. You have humps plotted on your satnav? |

I might well end up doing that, but I'm going to make sure there isn't something wrong which might kill me and my family first. I expect you fell the same way about your family, but then again one of them is trying to give you a Volvo. I doubt any one is going to die, limp mode isn't fast enough True, it's about Lancer speed. But I've only had it for about 8 minutes in total and not since mid-July, and it's nothing to do with the suspension. |

You can get pills for that these days.

Apparently they only last a few hours though. You'd want something that'd last at least until after your next MOT wouldn't you?

Might make the suspension a bit stiff.

More something you old timers would have specialist knowledge of I'd suppose? Does tying a string round your knee help, sort of tourniquet type thing? 😉 |

The Volvo has apparently, something fitted called BLIS. Does your Merc provide you with BLIS?

Not sure, I mean, it's quite nice and everything. Not sure if it's blissful.
