    4 wheel alignment

    Wheels in motion...https://www.wheels-inmotion.co.uk/ I used them last....excellent, plus they balance the wheels on a system that replicates the wheel hub. Far more accurate than the the usual through the centre hole system.

    Park assist

    Mine also Possibly....mine can do parallel parking as well as bays. I don't use it for parallel parking due the the high chance of kerbing the alloys and I did once try it in a bay but bottled out half way through the operation :)

    Carburettor

    The stromberg 175 is a fairly straightforward carb and the diaphram is the part that usually causes issues as it can sometimes tear, and usually a stripdown and a good clean always improves the performance. Look in the back of the Classic Car mags and there are usually carb specialists...

    Motoreasy warranty - anyone?

    I have a MB warranty. I wouldn't say that they are a waste of money. I've had to have the two front shock replaced, the Pawel capacitor, the radar sensor and the ESP control unit all under warranty. So I would say that I have most definately had my money's worth. Difference between the MB...

    MB Selling their South London Dealerships

    I purchased my car from a franchised Merc dealership....I can't say that I was impressed with their service dept. Lousy would be an understatement.

    I've been on the end of TUPE takeovers.....eventually they have ended in tears for the staff that have been taken over. It all starts off well and you are you are promised a ticket to heaven so that business continues as normal, but once things move on and the incoming company feel that they are...

    MB Selling their South London Dealerships

    I wonder how the staff currently being employed by Mercedes Benz at these three branches feel about all of this and have they been forced into a corner.....take the new position under the new company or redundancy ??

    Can i drive with this bracket snapped? Or is an urgent fix?

    Mercs generally leak from the driveshaft oil seals on the diff. Seepage is usually very small but over time it is enough to make the diff look a bit messy.

    2018 C43 Head Gasket Main Dealer Cost

    Not sure how they can tell that there is nothing wrong with the head until they remove it and check to see if it is true or warped. So once they remove it and if they find that the head is warped, who covers the cost of the full repair ? I am presuming that all they have quoted you for is only...

    I also recieved the email on this thread. One of the dealerships on the list is my local dealership and unfortunately I have had to use them for several years. I can't say that I have been impressed with the service provided over the years, and nowadays I dread having to deal with them. Guess...

    Dealership parts availability issue ....unbelievable !!!

    Unfortunately (or fortunately depending on your car) no more free clean or vacuum when cars are coming in for repairs at this dealership.....only for servicing...looks like more cost saving....I did tell them that I didn't want the car washed as it has a ceramic coating and I didnt want their...

    Air Con evaporator leak? C320cdi W204

    I would pop the lower panelling out where the condenser sits and have a look at the bottom of the condenser. They do usually go at the bottom due to debris build up......thats where mine went on the same car as yours previously. The leak detection that they do is generally useless for slow...

    auxiliary battery malfunction

    Have a read...I had the same problem. First research your car and ensure that it doesn't have an aux battery. If it doesn't, the issue is caused by the voltage regulator in the footwell that is at fault, also known as a pawel capacitor...
