    E63 6.3 Service cost

    Great username! I’ve got a 2005 E55, and if you’ve had your major service last year, you’ll be paying around £250 for an oil & filter change and for them to give your car a quick check over Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Mistake by specialist

    Ok update time...and turns out I'm quite the idiot I took it in first thing Friday morning and they were immediately concerned and said they'd look at it straight away. They put it up on the ramp, and showed me the work they had done including the bush that had been replaced. They then poked...

    Mistake by specialist

    I agree with you - but I don't think I've written anything that isn't factual. I'm really hoping there's a reasonable explanation for this all as I'd feel awful if this was deliberate. As a professional forum lurker, I get a lot of my information from here, and actually found the garage...

    Mistake by specialist

    I've spoken to the garage and I'll be taking it in tomorrow and said they would investigate how they could have missed it. There isn't anything else underlying that could have caused the split bush to reoccur as it hadn't been replaced. I've been looking at the rocket cover gasket issue and...

    They're Merc Services in Mitcham - seem to be quite well regarded on here and that's how I found them Sent from my SM-N950F using Tapatalk

    Mistake by specialist

    I'm currently a mix of confused and fuming at the moment - after doing my research and a good few searches on here to find a reputable specialist, I took my beloved E55 in for a service recently. Concern #1 They reported that both the rocker cover gaskets were leaking - but when I purchased the...

    Integrated Child Seats for w212

    I've got the original Mercedes Integrated Child Seats for the w212 which I was tracking down for a few months. I didn't realise they didn't fit my car, so looking to sell them on for how much they cost me I've got the Rivet Bolts as well which I'll chuck in £150 if you wanted to pick it up -...

    HOWTO : W212 Rear Bench Swap (Integrated Child Seats - option 248)

    It's a 2005 E55 with split rear seats that fold down I've managed to take the seats out, but cant see how to remove the arms. I'm not sure they're going to fit without some serious modifications to my car but I'll have another check once it's a little brighter outside Sent from my SM-N950F...

    HOWTO : W212 Rear Bench Swap (Integrated Child Seats - option 248)

    Oh dear - my seats doesn't sound as straight forward as originally mentioned. I'm seeing four bolts underneath the seat, but there is an extra part I wasn't expecting... Does anyone have any advice? Could I still make this fit? Sent from my SM-N950F using Tapatalk

    It should be illegal to service/fix your own car

    I don't agree that it should be illegal for safety reasons, as you would hope an MOT would pick up any such faults That said, I occasionally wonder how nice it would be to have all used cars maintained to the same standard so when it was time to pick up a used one, there wouldn't be so many...

    Thoughts on this car please

    When I was looking for an E55, I saw that car advertised for a while. The place selling it (Motorhub) doesn't seem to have the greatest reputation on the internet - it was previously named Keighley Trade Centre if you wanted to have a look at some reviews. Normally, I'd expect an E55 at that...
