This is a well known problem, MB will not take any reponsibility for this.
Best solution would be a used gearbox from a ''reputable'' breaker...or contact one or two of the well regarded MB specialist indie workshops to see if they can offer service...ie rebuild your current box themselves...or contact the local auto gearbox worksops as listed on www.fedauto.co.uk/ for advice.
MB dealer is the most expensive course.
Bit late now for research, but the two very good independant MB owners forums would be a good place to get better advice of how to fix it as cheaply as possible and for indy recommends, still a lovely car well worth putting right.
