recall notice v NLA

[Cymru1]

German engineering eh? NLA parts for our S2's.?

Amazingly my old man just received a recall notice for his 1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee!. 21 yrs!!!

Apparently, a new plastic car crashing into the rear of over 3ton of american iron with a huge towbar may cause a fuel fire. - (Yes, in the Yaris / Bmw etc. )

Main dealer 100 mile round trip - forget it

Don't tar all German marques with the same brush. BMW took my 17 year old 318is in for warranty work in 2008.

parts for 80's BMWs are also often NLA, spoke a bloke with a 635 and he had to travel across Germany to find the used parts to rebuild his car that the dealer could not supply

apparently Benz should be OK, it's said that they can supply all parts from all Benzes even built?

Porsche maintains many/most old parts too.

We're still able to get any part requested for a 1983 Mercedes G Class, so Mercedes does that right. The pricing is outrageous sometimes though.
