enquire as to why they're missing, could be explained that it simply wasn't stamped or was done elsewhere and again not stamped, for which you could check with whom ever did it. Unless they did it themselves?!?.

I went the MB Zetec instead of an MC (MD wasn't released) with slushbox being somewhat concerned about the DCT too, knowing what I know now, I'd probably suggest a MY13-14 MC.

I see an MB Titanium in my area daily and see it's suspension is sitting somewhat tired like. I know cause so was mine, having it refreshed 10mths ago has been the best single repair I've done to it. Kinda hesitant to recommend an MB seeing as it's older and possibly in the same boat.

Across the road from my folks their neighbour has an '10 MC TDCI DCT so far no real big issues, none at least with the DCT, but a munched up RH/R window regulator seems to be the only thing. Excessive turbo lag he complains about but I doubt he knows how to minimise it...he's also coming from a 2000 Camry so go figure.

The latest model MC you can afford is my thoughts...
