Dealer Parts Cheaper

MB Leeds is similar - A right gin palace when you walk in the door.
They make it clear that they really don't need my business.

It is Leeds!

It is Leeds!

Well - There's a surprise ........ NOT !
I have a difficult relationship with MB Leeds.
Previous posts of mine have detailed poor service.
The worst was when I tried several times to order an ABS sensor for a Type 126 E380SE.
After several fob-offs of the "We'll ring you back" sort, I went and confronted the Spares people.
The answer:
"Our system shows that your car was not fitted with ABS - It must have been retrofitted".
Euro Car Parts fitted me up with one - No problem.

That’s good to hear. I thought about trying them, but had my heard anything good or bad, so pleased to hear.

Give them a go. They haven't worked on my CLK because I haven't had the need but our Subaru was supplied by them and they do service that. You won't get a very small coffee with a Biscoff biscuit on the side and everything looks a bit tired but tbh that's never been something I've looked for in a garage. Most of the places I've used in the past are the type where you bring everyone a Greggs, make the tea yourself and drive off in a 15 year old "courtesy car" that jumps out of gear at traffic lights. I'm a lot happier with that Though I'm sure there are plenty on here that would shudder at the thought.

Swap the Mercedes star for a blue propellor and that sounds like Sytner BMW in Sheffield. When I had my E39 I had to occasionally use them for parts and I always felt like I was walking into a club I wasn't a member of.
