    I only ever serviced one of my car and it was a Mercedes. 2 weeks before the hand in date, the brake pad lights came on too. A simple unplug of the sensors did the job and I handed it back without them knowing.
    The brake pads had worn thin enough to put the warning light on...

    ...so you disabled the warning.

    I hope the next owner didn't have a crash with the brakes failing. What a tw@tish thing to do

    but very money saving.


    OP Block Exemption is irrelevant to your question. That is only with regards to maintaining warranty. If your contract states use dealer then you should do. However maybe the financial penalty will be less than the hike in price if you use the main dealer

    Certainly, although funerals can be quite expensive.

    The finance house will kill you if you don't have it serviced at a main dealer? :eek:


    Would there still be a financial penalty- would your estate be liable?
    I want to go back to The Olden Days, when every single thing that I can think of was better.....
