Anyone got any first-hand experience with either the MB workshop in Orpington or MB in Dartford? My C-Coupe is coming up for its first service and needs to stay main-dealer serviced and I'm not enthralled by Lookers, where I bought it. Regards Dave

That date's not right I think. My Becker has an assembly date of 02/12 but lists as 8GB Am wondering whether to risk a download... Will report back if I do! Cheers Dave
