Found a very good example e55 so I purchased it. Took it to a mb specialist to get the breather re sealed on both sides as it was leaking oil, while there I asked for a health check so now I am looking for parts and advice. The double ribbed pulley needs replacing due to play which is tearing...

My nearest indy (BSG) has carried out a lot of work on my Merc's over the years. These days I've moved away from the area a bit and tend to go local for the more trivial stuff but it's become a rite of passage to take any new purchase round there to have it checked out meticulously. And...

I had my newly acquired SL350 into my local dealer for their free winter health check. Only a couple of things came up: Rear pads 33% worn Drivers side rear light has some LED's missing. I'd already bought replacements from eBay so they will be fitted tomorrow. And that's it so good to...

Has your MB had its check yet? https://cars.mercedes-benz.co.uk/ownership/winter_health_check/winter_health_check.html Had mine done yesterday and once again delighted with the service I received. Not only did they check the car over for a list of items, they gave it a much needed wash and...

Well I had my spring health check done and got the wipers done and had the complimentary wash done yesterday.... Well guess what if you are doing it at MB colindale DON'T! They had my car washed at their local subcontractor and my car has come back with scratches...as if the cloth had fallen...

OK so we know they will issue a list of work that 'needs' doing as long as your arm but if you need wipers it may be worth a shot Spring Health Check

Hi, My question is this: do these cars usually have warning signs and symptoms that the battery is nearing its last days? The car in question specifically is a 2006 C200 CDI. The battery is a little over 4 years old. A few weeks ago, I've had about 2 instances when I got a low voltage...

Just got sent the link to the visual health check and they've raised a couple of points, mostly filler but I'm wondering about a couple of bits. 1) Front brake pads 70% worn. ok? so when are they usually changed? Seems very worn considering I only have 28k miles on the car? 2) Inside of the...

Happy bunny today! Took the E55 on another 1000 jaunt this week with no issues. So I thought I'd treat it to a mechanical once over. I decided to use the boys at Eurocharge in Watford and I couldn't be happier. Not only do they clearly know their Mercedes but they gave the car car the thumbs...

Hi all. Main dealer just called me to offer a free winter health check. It takes an hour apparently so sounds like a mini visual service. Anyone used this and is it worthwhile?

What a croc of sh#t. With my pending trip to Germany next weekend, I booked the car for a complimentary health check today. Car was serviced a month or two ago. I always ask them to check everything, even asking them to do stuff that don't necessarily need doing. Apparently, nothing needed...

Evening all, hope you're ok. I'm looking for someone in the Midlands, Staffordshire or Shropshire area that's recommended for an overall health check & going over on my car. I bought my three weeks ago from a dealership and it's fab, really pleased but a week in the sign popped up on my dash...

many companies are offering free winter "health check" covering batteries starter motors alternators etc so why not take advantage if it shows your battery is on the way out or any other problems - it is not necessary to let the giver of the health check the work as many of them will be...

Source. Belfast Telegraph. Diesel fumes cause cancer, the World Health Organisation's cancer agency has declared - a ruling it said could make exhaust fumes as important a public health threat as secondhand cigarette smoke. The risk of getting cancer from diesel fumes is small, but since...

Was at the dealership today, Loughton, and they offered me a free Health Check from my W221. Are they worth getting up in the morning for? My car has been repaired completely with new glow plugs, however the coil light does keep coming on and off.

Hello I have read all the posts on the VHC on here about it being a bit of con and MB just trying to get work, but I think its a good idea and you don't have to have the work done. However, looking on different dealers websites, the VHC seems to vary from about a 6 point 10 min check to a...
