Star machine near Leicester

[0zzy1953]

Hi..my ML270cdi which I bought for towing a caravan, is suffering from a loss in power resulting in no kickdown. I need to get my car on a Star machine but the thought of going to a main dealer frightens me to death. Does anyone know of a trusted local indie near Leicester?
Regards Chris

What exactly happens, is it OK to start with then loses power after a few minutes?

Had it serviced last Sat as it was due one to see if that was the problem..my mechanic said egr valve was working fine..thought I'd get it hooked up to Star machine as I'm wondering if its the maf. Any idea on cost of hook-up?

I would have agreed days ago. del320, meldrew2 and Druck were the main offenders.

My final word on this, just sort the trollers out.

Just to be clear. I have already helped the O/p out.

Sadly, you have another couple to edit...

Both yours.

Don't be afraid of the dealers for the diagnostic
The price will be the same as with local Indy and plus you get your car back washed with the full report what's wrong with the car

My local dealer charges a minimum of £100 to plug in.

I charge £20
