Wonder if anyone has advice for me please? My Engine Diagnostic Light came on yesterday and I'm not sure where to take the car to be inspected. I'm in North Cornwall and the only specialists I've heard of are in Exeter and Newton Abbot, the nearest being over an hour away. It strikes me as risky emabarking on that sort of a journey with a potentially poorly car. Locally I have found no garage that I trust fully so what would you do? Would a garage need a specialist Merc diagnostic tool or would a generic one be able to trace the fault. If I did go to a specialist then at least I could get the tranny fluid changed at the same time (local garage said needed a special tool to drain). Comments appreciated, thank you.
