get a perspective on the two Mercedes mix ers from the people who buy them we spoke t( London Concrete's production manager, Douglm Antingham. It soon became clear that while LCil Wembley-based owner-drivers are general happy with their local service back-up, Antingha0 is less impressed.
He reports that the Mercs have been gooc performers on and off sites: "Actually the Mercedes is a good vehicle." But he adds: "We're disappointed in Merc's back-up. The parts stock (across the total dealer network LC deals wal is inadequate and I've had to chase them. Clutch repairs can take up to four days and we can do it in a day. There's a real issue over stock on major components and dealers have still got to perform."
As a resort LC is taking a break from its previ. ous Merc-only fleet policy and is buying four Dal CF135 eight-leggers for its Heathrow batching plant, which is one of the biggest in Europe.
