    buying advice on a W208 55 or 430 coupe or cab

    Hi All After selling my W208 320 coupe:wallbash: and spending a year sluming it in a Peugoet 306 Convertable I've finally saved enough to get another W208. My budget is around £7500 but I cannot decide between a CLK55 coupe and a 430 Cab. Whichever one I get will have to have all the extras and...

    My CLK 320 on ebay

    I do have the engine cover but I removed it to show the engine is not damp (indicating an oil leak) and also to show the LPG install.

    ATS, what a bunch of gits

    I don't think this would be tough to prove. ATS and I both agree that the rim was to corroded to provide a good seal, They are after all basing their case on it. What I'm pointing out is ATS want it both ways. The wheel was in a good enough condition for them to take my money and fit the tyre...

    ATS, what a bunch of gits

    I had a compressor in the car but the tyres side wall was damaged as it was run on flat and it would no longer hold air. I'm not worried about the tyre as ATS have already stated there was no fault with the tyre and that it was corrosion. I don't believe the second fitter performed work above...

    ATS, what a bunch of gits

    Personally I don't think they have a leg to stand on. First of all the second garage stopped short of saying it was bad workmanship and no matter how I phrased the question did not admit it was ATS's fault so no help there. What ATS are saying is the seal failed because the rim has excessive...

    ATS, what a bunch of gits

    I've just got off the phone from their head office for the second time and as far as they are concerned its not their fault. They maintain that it is not their responsibility to maintain my wheels and therefore if the tyre doesn't fit properly its not their fault. As long as they take...
