A massive thank you to Ian at 124 works. I called in at 124 works just to say hello more than anything as my partner was having a procedure carried out at a Preston hospital. Instead of driving back to Morecambe I thought I would go and say hello to Ian & have a brew and natter for a while till...

I've got to post a message of thanks for Ian at 124 Works. This past month he has sorted several problems on my car and saved me a small fortune in bills to boot. A few weeks ago I took my car to Ians to investigate it's relativley poor response and general sluggishness. A check on the Star...

Had the car in at Ian's again this week, for a service and to arrange an MOT with a place nearby. I've used W124 Works exclusively for the past 2 years. It's nice to deal with the man who actually does the work. I put it in on Monday and collected yesterday (as arranged), got use of a...

Fitted whitenemesis 3 spoke steering wheel to my W203 but the buttons and horn dont work unfortunately! Not unexpected but still annoying none the less.....So now need to hope that Richard can remedy it somehow......:( Its a lot nicer to drive with though, much firmer and sportier, dare i say it...

Following on from this thread I started - http://www.mbclub.co.uk/forums/engine/76192-e300-w210-transmission-didnt-go-above-3rd-once.html Ian popped my car on his wonderfull new Star machine and no recurring fault was reported also cleared a few others. Ta. New stock of...

I got my W209 CLK on the 1st (59 plate :p ) and added the iPod kit, Parrot CK310 and Parrot Multican. The iPod works and I can skip forward and back with track names displayed on the dash. The Parrot works - Multican lights up green and the parrot powers up and 'goodbyes' with the ignition...

Up-specing and betterment of my W124 300D Auto Saloon. So my newly purchased 300D (the one with the wrong springs, see an earlier thread) Went into 124 Works today for a bit of fettling. Got started about 11am and left much later, but with - Black Leather Interior and door cards. Individual...

Thanks again Ian, you've saved my bacon once more... Popped in to see Mr. Walker yesterday as he had some new rims and tyres for my W210, the previous set being naff and causing some issues but thats another story! My jaw dropped as I approached the workshop at an utterly spine shuddering...

I have for some time been looking for a 124 300D for reasonable money!! So I found one in Bonney Scotland. So up to collect it and drove it back down to Lancashire and noticed a few issues on the way:confused:. Steering rubbish, ride rubbish but all else appeared ok! Then off to 124 Works for a...

Hi, The flip key that came with the early W202 models (pre 1997) with one large button for locking and unlocking. Can someone run through how the key lock/unlocks and disables the immobilizer. My understanding is that infra-red unlocks the car, via receiver in internal rearview mirror...

I have a c280 1995. The wiper stops wherever it is positioned on windscreen and only works on setting 2. It does nothing on intermittent and fast wipe. What can I do that isn't too costly? thankyou.

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...

Before I begin with the tragic events of my experience with 124 Works of Kirkham, I would like to explain that I am the owner of the vehicle and other half of the previous posts concerning the C220 Sports. http://www.mbclub.co.uk/forums/engin...20-sports.html I would also like to state that I...

Lifted the bonnet....started the car......and the fan is running.......rev the engine and the fan gets faster.......GREAT.......but then once the car gets warmed up the fan stops and wont come on again....even at temperatures of 100+........................... What could be wrong???:doh:

Recommendation for Bolton Motor Works in Farnworth. (Originally mentioned by partspecialist) I have been here twice, excellent prices (compared to 4 other indies) and good communication throughout 01204 793838

I had a trip to see Ian Walker at 124works earlier this week, around 60 miles from where I live, for an A service. Ian and his apprentice (seems very competant for a "young un") carried out the service which I am pleased with. There is a difference in dealing with these guys as opposed to...

Hi everybody. I'm from France and I've a 2008 R-class 320 cdi with airmatic. Two weeks ago my car was recalled by the dealer for an exchange of the Air matic compressor. Before that date when I start my car, this one raised up about 20 mm but since the recall, no evolution of the car height...

I've noticed this a few times now, most recently Elbow: The Seldom Seen Kid. When ripping a CD in iTunes, one or more track apears to be absolutely huuuge, many hours in length. In this latest case, Track 1 is 59:58 and Track 2 is 15:04:22!! :crazy: Those tracks appear not to play...
