Hi folks
You might recall that I posted here a week or so ago, asking whether
anyone else had experienced occasional momentary steering lock-ups
(hesitations, really) while driving.
My MB fixer (an Indy I believe you would call him) is a great adherent
to the Occam's Razor principle (the

is to blame. So far so good. There has been no recurrence of the lock-ups.
So rather than lock-up, you experienced an increase in steering effort

What the heck is this deal then?
Interesting... My E320 has never done any such thing. When making a
