Recently bought a 129 SL500 (95) with full history (mostly MB) and in extremely good order throughout. I've since had it fully serviced and had a new clock spring fitted (as the horn didn't work - or the airbag:eek:) and generally given it a good clean/valet and general spruce up. Anyway, the...

Does anyone have any good experiences of body shops in the Exeter area? The car needs some body welding and painting, so a classic friendly one would be preferred. Thanks a lot.

Just thought I'd give myself a quick introduction on here after just joining up. First time back to a Merc for a few years after owning a 190E and a 450SL many years ago. Went down the Porsche route afterwards, recently exchanging my TT for an 09 CLK 320 but after only owning it only for a...

Had a problem on my CLK with the boot not opening electronically. Main dealer diagnosed faulty lock - new lock, no difference (other than to my wallet). Called Lee Andrews at Coverdale, having seen earlier posts here, and received excellent service at a sensible price. The fault turned out to...

They've finally got the go ahead and announced the draw date for next Tuesday! (19th May 2009) Anyone buy a ticket? :)

Just got my SL back from Coverdale II after dropping it in for a service and for them to sort out a few niggles that had thwarted me. I can highly recommend them based on my expericence, they did what they said when they said, charged a very reasonable price and sorted out the minor rattles...

Following recommendations by John (glojo) and PeterE320Cdi on this excellent forum I contacted Lee Andrews of COVERDALE 11 in the hope that he could carry out the necessary Star Diagnosis Coding of my newly installed Comand APS. I visited Lee today at his new premises on the Decoy Industrial...

Just spent a week in Devon and have fully appreciated the new motor:D . Got 48mpg and used just 1/4 of a tank to get from Manchester to South Devon........ I'd have used twice that in my Volvo. Very comfortable cruser too. Definitely a convert now.

Are there any other members living in Plymouth Or nearby ? Dave

I recently had a problem with my car making a terrible noise, this was pointed out as I was leaving work so I decided to drop in to a new Mercedes Specialist that had opened nearby. Even though I arrived at closing time they were happy to take a look and quickly found the problem, a faulty...

I know there are some budding fishermen (and ladies) on here, so I am going to organise a weekends fishing on a World record holding charter boat in Brixham, Devon. We will probably go down on a Thursday afternoon and fish the Friday and again on the Saturday, with loads of drinking done at...

Does anybody feel they can recommend somewhere I could try for servicing an SLK?
