Glad everything is going well, except the speaker, and you are enjoying it.

XVI yes?

As well is two words!

"So don't be nervous about buying old Merc technology,
They,re built to last."

 

Hmm... theres always another side to the story. Bought a Daewoo Musso (Ssangyong) mainly because of the "Merc technology" 2.3 litre Petrol Auto, fabulous car comfortable spacious 7 seats etc...

Then started overheating as the year grew warmer over the next 2 years. So 2 head gaskets and 1 reconditioned engine later and several 1000 £'s lighter Would I buy a vehicel with a merc engine in again?

Probably NOT

If you can, go for a used Land Cruiser

Hi

Glad your enjoying the Korando sorry to hear about the missing speaker, please let us all know how it goes and what kind of tow car it makes.

Having worked in quite a few car dealers when I was a lot younger I don't think factory would have not put speaker in. More like, we need a speaker "take one off that new one on stock round the back" !

Hi all

Sorry to hear your problems with van do hope they make a nice job of it. This is when you find out how good your dealer is ! Having said that ideally dealers should not have to rebuild new caravans.

Hi all

If only they would put as much effort into production and quality control as they did into marketing !

Sad to say most of the manufacturers are as bad as one
another.

Wouldn't it be good if the caravan club inspected and stripped down new caravans like they did with leisure batteries. How many would they be able to recommend ?
