Yeah, I had the speedo cluster issue on the POS W220. Ten year free 
replacement because it was junk. Seems that mine was replaced under 
warrantee, but that turned out to be junk after ten years too. The 
suspension is good for 75k miles, and turns to junk in 120k miles. So, 
you gamble that you can get close to 130k before you replace the whole 
mess, instead of doing the job at 75k and end up redoing it by 140k. 
Only problem is that the car is not worth anything near the cost of 
the suspension.

The guy who complained about paying the dealer $3300 to replace the SBC pump 
was in Lebanon, so that might not be the price here.

It's not as bad as all that. The main deal is you have to have sds hooked up to 
change brake pads for example

Ouch.  That’s good to know.  Now I can understand why Woger didn’t like them.

What costs $3000 in a brake system that’s a consumable?
