According to MB (UK) the fact that my lane changing idicators fail to work
every once in a while is a design feature that I must live with.
I did demonstrate the problem in a new showroom vehicle , and had my control
stalk replaced , but it seems if the problem is difficult then it becomes a
feature.
I hope they've fixed it in the new E Class.

My first and last Mercedes.

Of course, there are people you have to live with..

Seems to be a problem of the dealer/service in the first place.

Anybody else changing the $/pound/€ cap of the notebook if online
banking is dysfunctional?

have you ever thought that you might be the problem in that you can't
quite get the feeling for the 'light' touch.... I know my wife has difficulties
with this as well....

What you were told appears to be odd.

Who in MB told you this?

Presumably your car is in warranty.

Where are you located?

If in the region of west London you might like to consult

Mercedes-Benz Park Royal
29 - 33 Victoria Industrial Estate
Victoria Road
London W3 6UU

Tel. 020-8896 1565

There is no showroom there and the people have been pretty good in telling
it as it is, warts and all (also about their cars). (And dealing with my
problems efficiently and economically).

Even if not in London you can still give them a ring.
