Hi guys (and ladies) I haven't been online for a while but thought I had to tell you about a recent experience I've had with my car. I needed a few jobs doing on my car R171 (SLK 280) and as in normal for me went to a specialist MB servicing garage, Star Auto Services, these guys are fairly...

hmmm guess I walked into that one, anyway as has been said I intend to continue going to Star auto services they are only about 18 miles away door to door (I live in Peterborough) and a lot cheaper than main dealer prices although I will probably go to the main dealers for routine servicing to...

I thought I would share this experience with the community. I recently went on what for me is a reasonable run of about 75miles each way and the dreaded MIL appeared on the dash, As the car was driving okay and there were no warnings anywhere else I continued home where I could check the...

I'm on your side here, the garage had technically done nothing wrong but somehow it still left a bad taste in your mouth. What is genuinely nice is the stance the garage have taken to ensure you are now a happy customer, they have gone above and beyond what they needed to and have left a...

Received your PM and replied to it.

I live in Peterborough as well

Thanks for the information its a lot of money but when you take into account the amount of work done it actually works out quite reasonable. Personally I have never seen a car detailed to this standard and having spent a number of years in the motor trade I know most other people are in the...

On my slk (R171) the dealers supply the glass only for the front foglights, cost is around £12 which under the circumstances I thought was pretty cheap.

Phenomenal job, I have never seen one like that before so what can I say? The question is what sort of cost is involved in a job like that, I realise every job is going to be different but I honestly have no idea how much something like this would cost (but I don't think it is likely to be...

The real question is would you recommend the stuff and does it do what its supposed to? The reeason I'm asking is I have a black slk now and Ive cleaned it using carnuba wash and then a clay bar followed that with an autoglym lifeshine treatment. However if I am honest I wasn't happy with...

I have a private plate that was purchased in the mid 80's. sometime in the mid 90's the plate had deteriorated and needed replacing, I purchased some reasonably nice plates from H@lfords. Nothing too fancy the retailers were not and are not in that business as far as I know, however there is...

Glad it sorted you out mate, I'm aways concerned when I recommend someone, but this guy did seem genuine, and the code scanner I got worked for me.

Also he may have suggested the 380 to you as it was slightly less expensive and does all you wanted it to, I specifically wanted a code reader that would work on my wife's focus and my two sons cars as well.

As hawk20 seems to think it is okay to mention the company I bought mine from, I will take a chance and hope I'm not breaking any forum rules. The company I dealt with was http://www.talktomycar.co.uk I bought the U480 although there are some more comprehensive ones available from his site...

TBH I don't know if we are allowed to mention retailers on this forum and I'd hate to break forum rules, if a mod can advise? ps I bought it of the internet from a proper VAT registered company in the UK

Yes, I found one that I am more than happy with, it reads the codes and resets the engine warning light with no problems at all. Think its called a geniscan this is the spec Features: Works with all 1996 and newer cars & trucks that are OBD II compliant(including CAN protocol) Reads...

I can't agree with the comments about adobe being silly, if they were they wouldn't be the market leader in every respect. These are two different products with completely different markets and, unfortunatey very different prices (The full version of Photoshop is extremely expensive) I'm...

double post-sorry

Congratulations Ian, It was nice to meet "both" Ians in person I wish you every continued success and hope the business does all you want from it. Warmest regards Rebel
