One thing Daimler Mercedes Benz are good at is producing excellent Diesel engines, I do miss the sound of the 0405n for all its faults you couldn't knock that 12 litre engine.

Either that or when he got to the Linthouse Lane Junction further down Lichfield Rd it could have turned left then towed back to Park Lane?

1667 (48) broken down in queueing traffic on Lordswood Road in Harborne, towards QE on the narrow section just before the baths. Traffic pandemonium.
