shop

Hello all, I am on the look out for a good/reasonable/reliable panel beater/body shop in the west of London (north of heathrow area) . Any info is greatly appreciated :)

I have a 30-year-old W107 Cali-spec, tatty but still my joy. This year, for the first time in 14 years of ownership here in the UK, we found a generous friend who would look after the hardtop - and give us back the car we had loved when we last drove around Madrid in 1997/8. Needless to say...

I read this, it was quite amusing, but made me thing of this forum for some reason;):p Particularly the Ten Items or Fewer remark. Waitrose in Twitter backlash: 'I shop at Waitrose because... I don't like being surrounded by poor people' | Mail Online

Needed a main battery for a W211 E270 CDi today and got a price from EuroCraParts, GSF and Bullseye, joint cheapest being Bullseye & GSF at £100. Thought I'll just try the main dealer, they had one in stock at £96. :) Check strap for a 639 Vito? £25 delivered, while sellers on e bay charge...

Just popped this on another thread but as it is a completely different subject thought it might be better to start it afresh. Looking for a decent low priced paint shop in the Solihull or Birmingham area that could deal with the normal bubbles on the arches of a 2001 SLK. Has anyone had...

Hi Having just seen Bobby Dazzler's thread on Fish and Chip shops, got me thinking, it would interesting to create a directory of good Fish and Chip shops around the country. I think unlike some foods like Curry, where people tastes differ so much, that one persons favourite curry house...

A Parisian friend is looking to buy four new tyres for his S-Class. Any particular recommendation for an online tyre shop in France, that can deliver directly to a tyre-fitter in Paris? The tyres incidentally are 235/55 R17 99W. Thank you.

Hi all, Quick question. I (very stupidly) decided to do battle with a bollard as I was driving out of Tesco's car park today. Not sure how I did it, but I completely failed to spot it. Result: need minor repairs to both nearside doors and nearside rear wing. Some scratches and a very minor...

Will have approx £150 of these by next week (incentive at work) and to be honest, the cash value is of more use to me at the moment - i.e car tax due!!! lol Anyone planning a purchase at Comet, Toys R Us, Homebase, Halfords, Argos, Debenhams, Mothercare, H.Samuel etc? (Full list here) Would...

If you can't find the book you are looking for, you're probably here.

Hi decided my c250 is going to be a keeper, as i have put 15k on in 6 months, getting round now to getting the inherited bumper scrapes, and start of surface bubbling sorted on the front & rear arches, car is 744 silver. so in need a paintshop , any recommendations for a paint shop in the...

I have just got my car from the body shop. The wing mirrors were looking a bit tatty and the doors and rear bumper needed some attention. I went for a painted finish on the wheels as before so they survive the winter. The car has covered 159000 miles now but is looking good for it.

About 2 years ago, MB Milton Keynes was really kind and offer to pay for the perch replacement as a goodwill, this done in the MB shop in Broxburn, near Edinburgh. So far so good. Untill today... Yesterday I was changing the right wishbone and this is where I saw on top of the spring, that the...

wrong place. Move to wheels and tyres. Can a mod delete this please. Cheers.

So the other guy was released without charge in the end for defending his home. Be interesting to see what happens here: Shopkeeper Arrested After 'Robber' Killed - Yahoo! At 72, that's a good effort.

Hi, I am looking for a good bodyshop in or around Edinburgh or the Scottish Borders. I need some rust repairs and a new wing (maybe two). If anyone can recommend a good place with reasonable prices, that would be great. Thanks Norman

After 16 years of reliable service from my W124 in which I have attended to every mechanical need, I would like to turn my attention to the body work. Is anyone able to recommend a restoration workshop in the South Wales, West of England, South-west of England areas that will deal honestly...
