Bumped into this guy literally while at a customers house. I spoke to him about my Mercedes for a while and you know when you get that feeling that the guy you are speaking to, knows his stuff. Anyway, booked the car in at his garage in Dalkeith to replace the wheel bearing, charged me less...

Can anyone recommend a good company for a thorough job inside and out near/in Edinburgh? For a mates birthday and want someone reliable. (Sorry if this is posted in the wrong place - wasn't sure exactly where to put it!) Simon

Used my roof for the first time in a couple of months. Went down fine, wouldn't go back up. Took it into Mercedes-Benz of Edinburgh and despite a full workshop they got one of their guys onto it immediately. He diagnosed a sticky switch, lubricated and tested it. Problem solved in half an hour...

from a colleague on another forum:- My 1993 charcoal grey/black Mercedes 500sl was stolen at the weekend in Canonmills area of Edinburgh. It has distinctive 6 spoke 17inch alloys, matching hardtop and it is LEFT HAND DRIVE with BELGIAN number plate 4438E Any information you have which results...

A year on and 5088 miles later the car was again due an MOT and the 108000 mile service – although she has only done 98129 miles. This is a biggie as all fluids – engine, gearbox, brakes and coolant – require replacement along with plugs and filters. I wasn’t aware of any other problems...

Anyone able to recommend a good place/specialist to get a few STAR mods done on my car in the Edinburgh area? An idea of cost would be good too thanks. S.

Anyone know of any decent, trustworthy independent Mercedes specialist in Edinburgh or nearby? Will travel to Glasgow if I have to, but the closer the better. Also, what are the main dealers like up here? Apart from the expense of course! EDIT: Also any indication of what servicing costs should...

hi everyone, my w140 electrics side mirrors stopped working. does anyone know any good specialists in edinburgh region?

Not really a classified !! Is anyone going from Edinburgh to London by train before the 3rd October? I have a return first class ticket (both ways) and also the return part (London back to Edinburgh - I had to change my plans and come back via Liverpool so needed a new ticket!) again this...

Hello everyone. Planning to go to Edinburgh at the end of this month for a couple of days. Could you recommend a cheap way of getting there and back for 2 adults and two children. I'll be travelling from central London. I was thinking of driving there but just realised that my kids won't...

Although I have not visited them for a while , having moved to the West 5 years ago , I always found Western Mercedes in Edinburgh parts and service depts to be friendly , helpful and efficient .

I got a letter this morning from a friend who is annually tasked with buying a group of us tickets, this year due to work over seas and not being computer friendly (hence letter) he did not get the tickets when they went on sale. So he wrote to his son who got the tickets on eBay for him. £60...

First point - no this is not a sale. I've been fortunate enough to win tickets to the 'final push' of Live 8 concert in Edinburgh, on July 6th. (Wednesday) Unfortunately I can't go - I've already won tickets for the Live 8 concert in Hyde Park (no idea how I won both !!) on the Saturday -...

What a surprise! Times Online Edinburgh residents today threw out plans for a £2 congestion charge for Scotland’s capital city by a margin of three to one. While 45,965 residents backed the charge, a total of 133,678 said no to the plans, after a surprisingly high turnout in a local...

Absolute quality. Went up to Edinburgh (from Manchester) on Friday night after work. Left at 6.30pm - got there at 9.45pm. Cruised effortlessly on M6, M74. Then took my favourite road - the A701 Moffat road. Basically 50 miles of sweeping country lanes all the way to Edinburgh. Although it was...
