    TMS Kirkham (ex-124 Works)

    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...

    Thanks to 124Works once again

    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...

    SL goes in to see the specialist : 124Works!

    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...

    Big thanks to 124Works...

    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...

    Ian 124works my story

    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...

    Thank you to Ian and 124works

    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...

    124works does it again

    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...

    Is anyone going to 124works/Preston from "down south"?

    I've just had a chat with Ian (from 124 Works); who has extremely kindly offered a set of wheels for the Timbuktu rally. Only issue is, I'm in West London and he's in Preston... Is anyone heading over to 124 Works, or anywhere near Preston and subsequently driving down towards London and...

    124works does good again

    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...

    Another Great job by 124works

    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...

    124works to the rescue...

    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...

    Guess What I've Done Today? at 124Works

    I've spent a very enjoyable and informative day at 124Works with Ian doing my Head gasket on the 300e under Ian's supervision and when required help (quite often). I realized that this would be a big task as I have no mechanical knowledge at all but I didn't realize how big and mostly awkward...

    124works to the rescue

    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...

    If you are 'oop north - 124works...

    .. 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...
