    Good Mechanic Colchester

    If I were you I would try Charlie Priaulx-Wells at the SEC-Shop. Based in Kemsing in Kent, not too far from the M25. Really a good mechanic and has a personal thing for all SECs. I have used him extensively and he takes a personal pride in getting the cars 'right'. Having said that, he is...

    Prestige Car specialists - MBClub Discount

    I took my 500 SEC (W126, 1991, 80,000mls) in to see this guy about 18 mths ago with misfire at idle and vibes at speed. He must have seen me coming... 'diagnosed' about £3000 worth of work - almost all of which turned out to be totally spurious and unnecessary when I got a second opinion...

    500 Sec

    Hi all, I have a black 1991 500 SEC and all my gauges (fuel, oil pressure, temperature...) have stopped working this morning. I assume this to be a fuse-related thing and will investigate later on... but if anyone has any similar experiences they can share let me know

    Kensington car care v's George Fraser

    Having enthusiatically recommended these guys on this site I have a confession to make... they are actually not all that good. The head guy is a good salesman and knows how to make you feel well taken care of, but the work he did for me was crap. Tehy couldnt even balance the wheels properly.

    SEC-Shop: Very good

    Recently took my 500SEC to Charles at the SEC Shop in Kemsing in Kent. I rate this guy and recommend him over everyone else I have been to. He is a nightmare to find - up a track in a tiny village in Kent but accessible easily from M25 and well worth the trip. I have been to a number of...

    Good Indy In The Dartford Area

    Try SEC-Shop.com ... Charles has a thing for SECs but deals throughout the MB range. Honest and hugely experienced. He just solved in a hour a nagging problem which had defeated 3 other engineers. ;)

    Kensington Car Care. Impressive.

    You are the man Spike. Great steer. You are right about the alley... best to leave it to them if your car is bigger than an A class. Cant speak highly enough of the service though.

    Kensington Car Care. Impressive.

    Servicing for older Mercs

    I have just picked up a 1991 500SEC (W126). In very good order but like all older mercs it will need a bit of ongoing TLC to keep things running sweetly. I'd be very grateful if anyone could recommend me a specialist for London SE area... I am tempted to take it to a classics garage for...
