I have taken mine to Paul at MPH performance in Middleton for the last few years .He is in the process of moving to Castleton just down the road.
Knows his stuff and doesnt do work that is not required. Prices very reasonable and you can normally wait around if the car has been booked in in...
Ive had mine for about 3 years now and I just love it. (172 SLK55).
It is a bit pampered and doesn't see much wet weather but when it comes out for a blast it sounds fantastic under full chat...!
I have no intention of selling it as I think its a beautiful car and the engine is both frugal if...
on a trip up to Aberdeen from Manchester it returned 33mpg...! and almost 500 miles to the tank full which is fantastic although quite dull ...!

Guys,
thought I would update the thread.
I never bothered with Kwik Flit again after this issue, but I never changed the tyres either. Whilst on another car Forum I noticed someone else mentioned this type of issue and it was suggested that if the car was stood for any period of time (which mine...
Thanks AMGeed,
That's my opinion but when I phoned them they said I would have to buy a new one and they will send the "faulty "one away for Continental to inspect.
I may or may not get my money refunded. Which is not acceptable.
I will let the tyre guy look at it on Friday and take it from...

Yesterday I took my wheel to a local tyre fitter as I thought I had lost a balance weight off the wheel so thought I would...
If you own a garage then I would have no issue as a potential purchaser of your car in the fact you have serviced it at your garage.
In fact I would expect it to be very well looked after if that was the case.
I will not pay MB to touch my car.
Sounds excellent.
I would like to se the pics when available and also what sort of cost is involved here if you don't mind me asking?
There doesn't seem much performance upgrades about for the 172 SLK 55 so very interested.
Thanks
Of course if you are Lewis Hamilton then go straight for the performance ones obviously....
Im not sure the Pagid ones are likely to fail for road use, but if your tracking the car then yes money talks
I would say there is no harm in trying the freebies from Halfords and then if you don't like them ,just change for something else.
Got to be worth a try.
If I were a car thief I would be looking for the easiest car to get in and get away with .
If I saw one with a disklok on I would be thinking that is extra time needed to get the car away when having to unlock it. And obviously more time for the owner to phone police or get some attention from...
On drive and get the old fashion steering lock on it (the big yellow thing, Disclok) as visual deterrent ,slow em down, put em off .
Safer on drive from mindless morons who may target it for vandalism.
I would dread parking such a car on the main road.
