    Temperature Guage....

    Hi All, Bit the bullet and spent £41 at the dealer for a new thermostat, seals and 1.5l of anti-freeze. Diving straight in, no need to remove the air pipe or front engine cover, I used an E10 female Torx socket to release the bolts (2 off) retaining the cover letting the coolant errr flush...

    Anyone know a boiler engineer in North London (nr Muswell Hill)

    Give British Gas a ring. They were far more efficient at repairing our boiler than the manufacturers engineer (Worcester Bosch). Oh and cheaper too.

    So what did YOU do to improve your Mercedes this weekend?

    I, on the other hand fitted a new air filter :D Saving myself the princely sum of £54 over dealer price for the same job.

    It's Service Time

    Hi Bobby Dazzler :-) You hit the nail on the head! I talked with them and they only book 12 mins for the job and were more than happy to leave a filter on the passenger seat for me. In exchange for about £25 of course :) Wondering how they will react to me changing it beforehand and...

    And MB want to charge me £69 to change the engine air filter. If I change the filter myself, how do I stand with maintenance of the service record? And will it affect Mobilo and so on?

    Can you not reduce it by declaring a mileage limit, adding your partner and so on? Having said that, £1k for a driver with 1 years NCB isn't bad

    I Need Some Help

    Wise words Gentlemen and I thank you for the advice. I really should have been acted sooner, but will step up a plan rather than bailing out prematurely. Does anyone know a good agent / website for QA / Product Assurance specialists? :D

    I Need Some Help
