Used Three points a couple of times now. Once for front tyres and new front brakes and again today for MOT and rear tyres. Car collected and returned on both occasions. Prices way below MB at Cribbs and no B/S either. MB @ Cribbs said I needed new discs, Three Points checked them and measured...

I have just had front brakes and new tyres from Three Points, Brislington Bristol. No B/S, and cost less than half MB at Cribbs quoted, plus collect and return service. Very pleased indeed. Plenty of useful info from Paul regarding servicing and what does (and just as importantly doesn't...

This may help.

IMO you have to you use your common sense and consider as much information as you can. As far as "Global warming" is concerned I have done just that, and it is quite beyond me how so many people continue to be hoodwinked by such utter nonsense. There is much hard fact to support that it is...

I find the use of the right foot to reduce such folk to distant specks in the rearview mirror works a treat. I can then resume a more modest pace again until I encounter the next irritating vehicle that wants to stick to me!

If not a scam, then perhaps an insurance crash repair? :confused:

Hello and welcome. Lots of interesting stuff on here, but if you are looking for something SLK specific then you might like to Try this American based, but might be helpful to you and your son. :thumb:

Interesting point, and not disimilar to a situation I noticed in my local supermarket carpark earlier this week. A car was clamped and had a large notice on the windscreen saying that it was an untaxed vehicle. I said to my wife that I wondered if it was legally sound to take such action as it...

I thought long and hard about an "S". Infact I really wanted a 4.5 Chimaera but my other half does not like TVRs one little bit. So we went Boxster hunting, but were not that impressed with the marque. They only gave a 2 year warranty, and not 3, when new (that may have changed now) and so as I...

No probs in an SLK! Which direction did you approach it from? Ignore, I didn't read all the posts on page 2 !!!!

Sounds great! What was the mpg like? I must say that I have been pleasantly surprised with the low to mid thirties I get from mine on motorways and open roads. And I don't drive for economy either!!

This doesn't make much sense if you consider that quite a lot of traffic in the inner lane may be travelling at around 40mph. Do you believe that everyone else should slow down because it's not safe to go by at around 30mph more? :confused:

Still available if anyone interested.

Thanks for PM. Reply sent

Hi I have one seated ticket for the sold out Wembley performance on the 26th June. Face value £60 + p&p. I ordered this when I failed to get a ticket for the NEC show in April, but then I managed to get a ticket for the NEC and it was a fantastic show. PM me if interested. :rock:

Well this is an update following an update! After the software was reprogrammed (at thankfully no cost to me courtesy of Bristol MB) the car seemed ok. Then after about 3 weeks the auto g/box fault reappeared. Booked it into MB Bristol and they took it in to check it and do the necessary. They...

SAGA did me a great quote. But you have to be of a certain age!!!

Well an update is in order if only to praise the action of Mike Fellows MD of MB Bristol. I contacted MBUK customer services, who checked with the Bristol dealership and then got back to me to confirm that the software upgrade was considered a service item. I was still not happy with this as it...

In response to a couple of points, yes it's the 7 spd tiptronic box and the car has full MBSH at the Bristol Dealership. Whether I use them for the B service due in the autumn depends on how things pan out re the "fix", i.e. if it proves to be successful, and also any response I get from...

Thanks for all the varied opinions. All are welcome even if I don't necessarily agree with some of them! I guess I feel less than thrilled with things as it happened so close to the warranty deadline. Unfortunately I happened to be too busy on the preceeding day (final warranty day) to make the...
