Hi Andy,
hope you will not get the VCV to soon. But as you said you are not nearly as much pampered as the german mercedes customers.... smile

By the way, how can you for christ sake affort a Vito in Britain - or did you import a left hand dirven car yourself from the continent. Which Vito do you prefer on the isles: the Diesel oder the Pertrol version, the Vito F, L, Van or the V-Class? Let´s also hear about road tax - amout, deduction possibilities, environmental issues ....

>All these reports of problems on the Forum are making me worried to take my Vito on holiday to Europe again this year, (Italy, Switzerland and Germany).
>However if I do get any problems I am going to the best place, I am visiting the Mercedes factory and Museum at Stuttgart and I will be asking them to explain themselves!
>Seriously though, I have found that the problem with the central locking can be minimised by using "Scotchbrite" to clean the door contacts regularly. I have also been locked out of my Vito - not funny >:-(
>And remember, like all diamonds the Vito has its flaws, but compared to the dreadful reliability British built cars I find it pretty good. I am happy to buy another one, or am I mad?
>Best regards
