Ouch, timing chain snapped on the motorway

[Joeman]

Had the chain snap on my three year old C-Class mirc (out of warranty) I got a local garage to strip it down to take a look, and there was metal everywhere! (Chain must have got snagged up as the top pulley on one of the camshafts had snapped in half)

I opted for a replacement engine from a crashed car instead of risking a rebuild will all those metal fragments, from memory the biggest cost was the labour charge... (I was living in West Kensington at the time, so local garages were not cheap!!)

I sold the car about a year later to an old mate of mine and its still going strong as his daily drive... the old gal, must have done well over 200k miles by now!

Complete bollocks.

You own a Mercedes and can't spell "Merc"?

Where the hell are all these sockpuppets coming from?
