works

I stay on the outskirts of Aberdeen and it has been so cold the last two days (-15 in some cases). Since then the central locking has stopped working, the soft closure doors are not working and the boot (trunk) release won't open. The boot won't even open manually as it feels locked. Can anyone...

Hi, I'm relatively new on this forum, however after reading through many of the posts I decided to take my CLK 430 to Ian at 124 works for a full 'B' service. I would like to report that my experience with 124 works was very positive and I would happily recommend his garage to anyone looking...

Recently i was only able to lock and unlock my C55 by using the remote key on the drivers door handle sensor. Strange, as i drove over a really bumpy road yesterday getting to a meeting, and when i parked up i pressed the remote and hey presto everything's back to normal. Hope its not a fluke...

Hi, Quote from link below: "The new Mercedes dual-clutch gearbox is expected to feature eight speeds as well as engine stop-start and hybrid compatibility." http://www.motorauthority.com/mercedes-likely-to-build-dual-clutch-transmissions-in-house.html I like the stop/start bit but...

I stripped all the trim out of my boot yesterday to find a water leak all the trim is in my garage but now the little red light on the boot release switch is on, the boot still unlocks from the switch and the fob okay, also locks okay as it should. I have done a search but most seem to be...

I've got an unused copy of MS Works 7.0 that came with my Dell PC. I have MS Office Pro, so I've never used it. My dad just bought a new Sony, which only has a demo. (time-limited) copy of Works on it. He can't find the software CDs for his old PC :rolleyes: Would there be any issues in...

It is with deep regret that I have to post this. I was looking forward to posting yet another positive review of 124 Works, but the fact is I had a nightmare experience. In fact, the worst experience I have had of a garage in 38 years of car ownership. The only reason I took my car all the way...

I've had a minor intermittent problem with my car for a few weeks, nothing major just a bit of a pain, anyway spent the morning at Ians doing various check's... All the check's we did passed, made a couple of minor adjustments here and there, etc. and so far problem hasn't re-accrued :D , but...

Well.. The post from Nav is of slight concern to me personally i must say. My vehicle has been with Ian for nearly a Year i think. Well its been so long that ive forgotten when i left it there. Anyway, i have at times felt that due to my patience my car has taken a back seater. Friends of...

It is great regret that i have been forced to put this post up regarding some sub-standard work carried by Ian B Walker of W124 Works on my SEC. My water pump pulley had failed resulting in the viscous coupling fan shooting through the radiator, resulting in me requiring a new water pump...

CLK W208 Supercharger only seems to work when engine cold!!please help Hi all, i hope some one can help. I have a 1999 CLK230 and ive noticed the supercharger only works when the engine is cold. When it reaches normal Temp the car is sluggish. Could it be the small pipe about(9mm) that goes...

Good evening one and all. I can't say enough good things about Ian Walker at 124 Works, and his young apprentice Chris. Both top class fellas. Took my Merc in for an A Service, a bit of preventative maintenance plus a couple of "upgrades" and got the usual top class service. Ian and Chris...

Hi, As a matter of interest has anyone undertaken this alteration and what does it entail ie: Cost/ time / benefit over standard for a C Class w203 2007 model? tia. Stuart.

My new (to me) E320 CDI died on me today, gave ESR, ABS and BAS warnings then once stopped completely refused to start. Really didn't know what to do so whilst waiting for Green Flag I decided to have a chat with Ian at 124 works. Ian doesn't know me and has never spoken to me before. I...

Once again the 124 works and Mr Walker come up with the goods, first my dads car 180k, after filter changes and sparks and a brake fluid change, my dad says it went like a rocket on the way home :bannana: and stopped when he had too:D , Mr Walker smashes dealer prices once more...and the...

Spent all of saturday at Ians place having g/f's e280 caressed. Lots of work done (Ian even let me hinder...I mean "help" :rolleyes: ). All the fluids and filters. new dicss and pads all round. new ARB's. Front spring modifications (You know what I mean mate;) ) the car may have done 200K...

All you ever wanted to know about ESP and how it works, great vid http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=T9Y6z7cXxEE&NR=1

Took my car over to Ian on Monday, he really is a top man. He changed the autofluid, filter and rusty pipe, sorted my steering which needed a new damper and steering link, sorted the vacuum pipes, checked the whole car over and adjusted the wheel bearings and lights. Its like a new car now...

My W215 has comfort seats and I distinctly remember when I test drove it that switching on the seat a/c cooled the seat down fairly quickly. However, I have just driven back from work ~1.5 hrs, with it switched on the whole way and there was no appreciable difference in temperature. I can...

You might remember that Steve activated Tyre Pressure monitoring in my cars cluster a little while ago. Well this morning it worked! I stopped and couldn't see a problem but on checking I found that one of the tyres had a slow puncture and was 7lb below the other three tyres. Good mod!:D
