That comment related to another thread we were following at the time. My previous Audi had a Halfords fitted cam and it was never right. I suppose the point is that it was fitted into an accessible fuse near the glove box, pretty straight forward and done under a tent in their car park -...

I went to Braybrook’s and had the MB Witness system fitted front and rear, not had any issue and thankfully no need to refer to anything recorded...not least because I haven’t really driven anywhere of course, but still, very solid and does what I need. Price is expensive but I have had the...

I did the same in September - the salesperson acted so surprised - perhaps it’s a standard reaction! re the OP, reckon you dodged a bullet with the lack of cleaning!

Looks like a different car! A good day‘s work, and worth every minute

My wife's car had a regular car park under trees for years at her work and it attracted the sap and general mess. The mildewy covering on the back of yours around the glass and model number was awful to get off, so good luck and looks a great start. Thankful mine a coated but cleaning hers...

That is responsibility, well done for taking it on! Will look forward to seeing the progress.

Welcome, that’s a great looking car.

Never even thought about it to be honest, but yes it does seem obvious. Suspect a few of us might be going to try it today...watch out world :)

I had a new car protection with ceramic done in the last month - I did a post about what it entailed - that was £500. If the car isn't new and it will needs paint correction probably around £800 as a lot more work needed. Sure there're cheaper around and more expensive - tip seems to be unless...

Cracking deal, bet you did bite their hand off! Just shows it pays to shop around. Hope we never need to find out how good their repair services are :) Enjoy.

Thanks Markjay - this reply gave me the questions to ask. Much appreciated. ian

I had quotes from everyone, companies I had heard of and many I hadn’t! I don’t just buy insurance on price, having been caught out before I always look for an underwriter I have heard of or at least has decent reviews. Admiral and Aviva were close at £425ish a year, but wanted £200 to...

So, here you go...I took my car uncleaned and untouched by the Main Dealer as requested by Tim at Envy Car Care in Gosport ( and other members here). It did seem odd not to be pristine when we did the handover on Tuesday mooning but the Dealer listened and other than the PDI nothing was touched...

Posted elsewhere but don't forget Servicecare also 20% 'off' until 30/9 for those wanting to stick with Merc servicing and paying up front ( doesn't apply to monthly payment). Code is SC20. There are benefits that might apply to some in sticking with MB eg includes all recommended work. Also...
