costs

Hi, I currently own the above on a 2001 plate and in need of the 'B' service. Having done 45,000 i've been told that I don't need to change my spark plugs yet I rang a few mb specialists as recommended on various threads and also some local main dealers. I live near heathrow so there are...

I have a "C" service due in 1000 miles. Could I save money by servicing in France (and combine with a holiday)? Has anyone looked into this? Paul

Hello, I have a MB C270 CDi AG - Are there any information sites that can show me the running costs on a per mile basis? or unless anyone has experience of said beast - Thanks. I do about 2,000 miles month. Tez.

Hello all, Does anyone know the price (approx) of a "B" service for my C240 or any 6 cylinder petrol? I had a scan through the forum, but could only find outdated results - 2003?! :crazy: I'm debating whether to use my local stealership or the highly praised George Fraiser - A friends'...

It looks like i need the head gasket replacing on my E320 Coupe W124 (3199cc engine M104). What is it going to cost me? Has anyone had the same work done? Can anybody recommend a merc specialist in the Leeds/Wakefield/Doncaster area? Should i look to do any other "service" work at this...

Let me explain. I've noticed that a lot of lorries, buses, coaches and other vehicles of late seem to be running with near bald tyres. I never used to see this - and I just wondered if the members of this forum felt it might be as a direct result of the cost of fuel impacting on the budget...

I'm very tempted to buy what seems like a very nice W210 Elegance Estate, registered June 2002. Its a one owner car, FMBSH, 7 seats, cloth interior, 6CD, etc, done about 50K miles and has the 2.6 V6 petrol engine (I'm still confused as to why its called a 240 and yet has the 2.6 engine)...

Any idea what an A & B service cost for a C220 cdi? And what happens to the computer when the mileage reaches the countdown, does it show as a malfunction?

Have a w124 e220 1994, car has done 85,000 miles and is due a service in August. Going through an independant MB specialist any ideas of the likely cost? Cheers, C

My 320cdi is showing that it's due for a C service in 1000 miles that will be around 21500. I've had the car from new and it's first service was a "b" service at around 13,000. At no time did it ever show an A service. That cost around £240. What should I expect to pay for a "c"service. My...

http://www.sky.com/skynews/xml/article/0,,40000-214185,00.html Would this reduction in service costs really mean you'd switch back from using an independant? Looking at what I pay now, I save WAY more than 10% of the stealership costs.

Just curious. What are the running costs of a 500 SEC ? http://www.classic-auctions.com/detailb.php?&sal_salno=70C&car_carno=14205&sal_type=CAR

Here's my Christmas Present.... What do you recon the damage is? (I already know!! )

Took my ML in for brake pad replacement recently. MB dealership charged £98 per hour labour (plus VAT) plus cost of pads. Rear pads and labour came to £250. ML's wear pads out in about 8,000 miles and thats with careful driving. Since then I've found that Haynes in Worthing would do the same...

Just been quoted £20 to fit and balance two rear tyres for the runabout Civic by Honda dealer. Mytyres.co.uk can supply dunlop sp300 or bridgestone 391 for 40 quid per tyre. There is a dealer they list who fits/balances up 20 inch tyres for £5 per tyre inc. disposes of old tyre for 1.00 and...

It was only the other week, I noticed enough road changes to look and see if there was an update for my Panasonic Sat Nav. Currently I have a 2003 DVD (Navteq). There wasn't one, but then today, I was pleased to get a letter from them saying the 2004 DVD was out. One issue. It's...

Can anyone tell me if the UK dealerships are suposed to sell spare parts at the same price. When I phone up a number of dealers to get a price for a part they all quoted wildly different prices. Can anyone recomend the cheapest place to buy official MB spares from. Cheers
