no no no my friend had one and was driving down the motorway and for no reason at all it set on fire by time the fire crew arrived it was finished
 
I think you might be right. A colleague of mine has had expereince of the Merc as well. It started to fall to bits not long from new!
 
At least we can blame the parts...

The Merc is a perfect example of what happens when you take german quality components but get redneck hillbillies to build it! :rolleyes:

I didn't know they were built in Dorset?:confused::p
 
I was tempted by a Shogun Sport 2.5TD. I took it for a drive and it looked good but inside, my God, very cheap plastic interor, the doors sounded very tinny when you shut them and the ride felt light and insecure.

I got back into my Range Rover and it felt solid, classy and smooth.

What was I think ing off? Sorry everyone, lesson learnt :D
