rates

I'm pretty certain I've got one or more dribbling injectors on my 2007 311 CDI, they're the Bosch Piezo type.. Symptoms are - rough idle when hot (as though it were running on 3.5 cylinders or imagine putting the choke on a hot petrol engine), very smoky at idle, clears when under way after...

Anyone know whether the Government are really planning on introducing the levy of VED rates highlighted in the 2015 budget as they are suppose to kick in from April 2017. If so big hikes on +£40,000 cars.

Is it worth bothering with these anymore? Just been checking the rates and they are utterly hopeless.

Whilst value services still seem to be part of the "strategy", I was informed today by MB Stratford that 6+ labour rates (40% discount) had been withdrawn. I immediately suggested that my business would have to move elsewhere. They countered with a fixed price deal which still seems on the...

Can anyone tell me the average hourly rate of UK indy Merc garages? I have been quoted £700. For a big service inc AF oil change. I know the C280 W202 V6 has 12 plugs and all the bits n pieces are about £200 to buy before labour. £500. For labour seems rich to me. What would a dealer charge?

This isn't a post about the rights and wrongs of aftermarket warranties...... As part of the deal on my recent purchase I negotiated a 6 month additional warranty from the Sytner dealer, called Warrantywise. The salesman told me it was Sytner's preferred product and they are one of the...

Long story short and not a thread about the validity of aftermarket warranties. As part of the deal on my recent purchase I negotiated an extra 6 months Warrantywise warranty. Because it was a deal sweetner the cost was borne by the dealer (not a MB dealer I should say, but a Volvo main...

Looking at my invoice from MB garage in France (Bourges) - would you like to guess the labour rate charged ... we are always complaining about dealers rates so thought this might be of interest.. All guesses in euros - before VAT at 19.98%

This sounds like good news! Franchised garage rates fall - Autocar.co.uk Do you think it'll apply to our stealers? :D

Is this the worst tyre wear rate you have ever seen? I put two new Falken 452s on the rear of the car on April 20th this year with the car having covered 69682 miles. Yesterday July 8 they were worn to the markers at 73157 miles. :crazy: That’s 3475 miles or 79 days. I’m trying Dunlop SP Sport...

HMRC has reviewed the Advisory Fuel Rates that copmpanies pay to reimburse employees using company cars for work. NB: This is not the Fixed Profit Car Scheme (although hopefully that will follow). The last 12 months has seen fuel prices increase by 25% and so, HMRC has announced that, with...
