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...

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...

It was autumn, and the Apache Indians in their reservation asked their new Chief if the winter was going to be cold or mild. Since he was an Indian chief in a modern society, he couldn't honestly tell what the weather was going to be. Nevertheless, to be on the safe side, he replied to his Tribe...

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.
