120,000 on clock no major problems,could not say the same about Metrocab.
Could be that Cab Direct now rushing to capitalise on the new openings for Wavs,are being shoddy with the wormanship.

Mmm now where have I heard this before??? other drivers are in the same boat too with their Mercs, a guy buys a Merc Vito, the electric windows pack up on a airport job, he had the cab for 6 weeks, he went to a Merc dealer and was told to get off the premises. Mercedes no longer classed it as as one of their vehicles as it was converted, so his service agreement was VOID and no dealer would touch it. He had to go all the way to Heartfordshire and was forced into another agreement at further expense with a commercial Mercedes dealer. The electrician repairing it discovered that a non Mercedes window unit had been used and worse still during the conversion ordinary house-type wire had been used to connect it. The electrician had never seen such a bodge job.
These conversions are putting peoples life's at risk.
Cannot actually believe that.
We have had Merc convertions for about 18 years now, and I have never even heard of a Merc Dealer refusing to handle one on warranty.
They won't touch anything non-merc that has been subsequently fitted, but then hiether will ANY OTHER main dealer.
The real death traps are quite obvious in this trade. You only need to look at the DoT statistics. They are not convertions.
