Im going to need a 'A' service in the next 1300 miles. I have already bought 8 litres of Mobil 1 (mate got it from Costcos for me - £47 :thumb:). Given I can provide the oil, what the best I can expect to get this service for? The Mercedes website quote £249 with the oil - what should an indy...

Yes, I'm in relaxing festive mode - my mind wondering into absolute trivia. I wondered how much it would cost if you bought all the parts to a car 'off the shelf' at full retail price v cost of a car from the factory?

"Diesel vehicle prices will soar by 2015 Emissions standards to blame Hydrogen will be the answer Emissions targets will drive up costs That's the prediction of Dr Thomas Weber, head of Group Research and Mercedes-Benz cars development, who says diesel vehicles will need expensive...

Respray an entire car, lets say a CLK to MB standards? If your going to change the colour completely is there a base colour which makes this easier? Just thinking out-loud:)

After gearbox repair i noticed the tailpipes were pointing down a bit, quick look revealed ex rubbers were u/s one split other fell to bits, spent ages looking on net for replacements, gave up went to local ex place and not only did he have them also fitted the pair for the princely sum of £15...

Well there's a fair few things i want fixed on my car. However, I'm keen to avoid big bills. I'm considering DIY, but i don't want to spend a load on parts then have to sacrifice a weekend (which I live for!) to fiddle and be ultimately unsuccessful. So I could take instead just take it to...

Hi, I've been told I've got a hole in my condensor, so it will need replacing. This was spotted when putting the gas in with a dye. Apparently the car wouldn't hold even an ounce of gas, it just started coming out of the condensor. Thing I wanted to know, is there anything else that is...

Really stuck on what to do with my Tape/CD Player. I have a 1999 CLK230k W208, facelift version. I like the original Merc look, I likle the wheel controls working, I like the radio station coming up on the main dash display. If I get an aftermarket headunit, I can use MP3 CD's, iPods...

Something that's been nagging me for a while, and now triggered by reading road test reports on the new Lexus RX. It's clear that our car taxation system is designed to flatter/encourage cars with low CO2 emissions. Yet that of course only has any impact whilst the car is being driven. It would...

I purchased my car on July 26th 2003 and since then have spent £23150 on keeping it on the road EXCLUDING petrol, car tax and insurance! Do any of you keep a running total? If you do please share

I may want to move an MG Midget (non-runner) from Swindon to Bristol (40miles) how much should I expect to pay?

Could anyone tell me how much I should be paying to have this connected, as MB told me 350 pounds, but said they do not do it themselves. Thanks

Preparing my S350 for sale( :( ) and am out of the country so can't do the job myself, any ideas on where to take it in the Manchester area, or even how much you think I should be paying. Bit wary of leaving the car with any old random valet/car wash!

Anyone give any indication of likely cost of a C service on a R171 350 at a Main Dealer? And and at an Indie?

Hi All...! Does anyone know of a goos source for current body parts, other than Merc itself. I have damaged the bumper trim on my 04 E Class and the replacement parts ae pretty steep from the local Merc garage. I have tried eBay and a few traders through Google but with no luck yet. Maybe...

I know from previous posts that this can be done. Does anyone have the roughest idea of the cost? It would be on a 126. Thanks
