124works

Hi all, just wanted to say I had excellent service from Ian W. and the team at TMS, Kirkham. Ian sourced and replaced a gearbox for my W124 E320, which is running well, and did loads of other 'smaller' jobs including suspension wishbones, exhaust etc. Good service and a good price, can't say...

Cheers to all the boys down there for the fettle to the SL.... It stops when I use the big pedal in the middle now without too much need for prayers :) Very pleased it passed without so much as an advisory - just proves the previous work was spot on. Oh and really pleased with the...

Well problem with the SL. Won't hot start, starts occasionally when cold. Can raise revs but when I blip the throttle it dies. Already changed plugs, HT leads and distributor and rotor. (Admittedly these parts were shot and needed replacing in any case...) I give up. Rang Ian and he was...

Ian and the boys have done me proud over the past week... Popped in on spec and was fitted in with an odd refusal to rev much beyond 4k... Some diagnostics later and a good poke around under the car presented a few more issues which have been attended to by the guys.. Everything was...

I have to dedicate this thread to a great experience I had and the help I received at the hands of Ian and the guys at 124Works in Kirkham,Preston. I usually do all my servicing,so I thought I'll do a quick oil change before it rains at 11am on wednesday 15th June. Hercules had tightened the...

Seeing as my Remus back box arrived, I was at a loose end due to not having the tools or expertise to fit an exhaust back box. I called Ian who quoted me a very reasonable price (I still owe a small amount which will be duly paid btw). Ian and his team spent the best part of 3 hours and the...

Once again thanks to Ian and the boys for fitting me in for a service at very short notice. :thumb: A very special thanks to TrapperJohn for his extended tour of Kirkham, the surrounding tundra and its indigenous flora and fauna. This youtube link is for you TJ. :thumb: :D YouTube - Fast...

I am posting this to say thanks to Ian & Chris at 124works for the work they have both done to my w202 over the last 2 days. My car was booked in yesterday for the bottom ball joints changing, I also asked for the car to be given the once over whilst I was there. Another problem was...

Friend took my car (190e) for MOT, failed due to rear exhaust box loose and rear fog lamp not working, said would need little welding. So took car to Ians this morning, and noticed that the pipe into the rear box was broken at the join all the way round, surprised it hasent fallen off, no idea...

I have just had loads of work carried out on my 190 Brabus 3.6 24v for example: Full Service including all fluids, oil, brake, clutch, rear diff and cooling system; New injectors; New HT leads; New suspension bushes; New brake pipes; New control arms; and Several other niggly minor bits...

Just to say thanks again to Ian for helping me over the phone. My car failed its MOT on just the one fault, the number plate lights weren't coming on when the headlamps were turned on. I described the fault to Ian who told me exactly where to look and what to do. About an hour later all is...

Took my C250td to Ian at 124works for a gearbox oil and filter change. As my car was on the ramp Ian gave it a check over & advised on a few things that need doing. As he was waiting for the oil to drain he did some of the other jobs that I was going to get done at some point in the...

Funny noises from rear wheel so Mr. Walker has come to the rescue. Spoke to him at very short notice but no drama, just good service. Fixing as we speak while I burn his Porsche :devil: Incidentally, I spoke to MB at Preston about it initially and when I suggested that I take it to Ian to...

Another for Ian @ 124works! Car failed it's MOT last week for an exhaust hanger and some corrosion to a brake pipe. Not failures but warnings included a broken horn, poly-v-belts cracked, brake fluid black and brake pads worn. Quote for work from MB Manchester was £904.16 for just the...

.. you don't need to look further than Ian Walker and the 124works. Does what he says on the tin and he so very obviously cares. As a matter of fact, at one stage I thought I was going to have to fight him to get Carol's 300 back! Ever see a madman demonstrating 70mph (or was it 100mph?) in...
