Has Mercedes Always Been This Bad?

I hear what you say about Mercs but to be fair the 4 1844’s we ran on the Bewick Euro fleet gave good reliable service and I can’t recall any issues with them. Obviously I preferred the Scanias but I wasn’t averse to dipping my toe into the water and trying other marques Renault Magnums being the other motor I tried. IMHO there is no such thing as a thoroughly bad motor if they are treated properly although some are better than others i.e. Scanias !! :wink: Other Operators obviously have had varying experiences not always good with the marques I have mentioned :frowning: Cheers Bewick.
