Needs advice in London Area

Page may contain affiliate links. Please see terms for details.
Hi,

Bingo! that is indeed the Kew Steam museum tower in the background... good spot!

the £ 600 service was a "full" service; all fluids, fliters and whole car checked.

thing is that my usual garage charges £ 250 for exactly the same thing. it confuses me...

does anyone know where i can get the under tray from? i'm having issues locating one....
 
Hi all,

I am a recent joiner on the MBClub and have found it very useful to-date. Used it extensively in researching my recent purchase of a 1990 W124 300CE.

Not been the best experience so far unfortunately. I am hardly driving it (had it 5 months and driven it about 6 weekends, not touched for the last 3months) so its probably my fault. Now have the usual not-driven faults such - I think the dizzy cap needs looking at (moisture in there i've been told?) as its a slightly rough idle and engine cuts out when warm.

Hence looking for a decent speicalist in East/SouthEeast London areas. Someone mentioned the Prestige Group in SE London - I live about 5mins away - are they any good?!

Anyway, I hope once I get my beauty up and running again, it will give me the long service it deserves.

Any advice welcome!!

Thanks.
 
Trying to attach a picture of my w124. Not quite sure how to do it here? Here is first try...maybe its attached somewhere on this post....

Welcome to the forum Shahnan - and what a great purchase i might add! If you're able to get to Sidcup, you can always try Wright Tech:

Andy is a top bloke and very reasonable.

Thanks dw124 and 300CE. WIll check out Prestige and/or Merc Tech asap once I get the car running again.

dw124 - nice to know you saw me stalling! It would definitely have been me! I think I ended up being towed back that day and have not had a chance to look at the car since. Battery now dead and need to get dizzy cap looked at :-(

That`s correct but I no longer own it:eek:,was sold to make room for the estate
 
shahnan,

that is one seriously hot set of wheels....!:rock:
 
thanks 1989w124! I have to admit, I do love looking at it, even though its currently laying 'dead' needing a recharge and dizzy cap looking at.

BTW does anyone here know where I can get a genuine AMG exhaust tail pipe?

You mean tail pipes,I know someone has a set but they`re not cheap though.I do have a Sebring backbox for sale though
 
shahnan, you say "it"?


surely, a babes that beautiful deserves a name.... she looks like a 'Candy' or a 'Tia' to me....

but then, i have been out drinking all night, so she might even be a He!!!! :) :rock:
 
cheers guys!

d w124 can you send me the details of the original AMG (square) pipes and your Sebring backbox? How much are they generally?
 
Thanks. I was looking for the original AMG square pipes actually so will leave the Sebrings for now. Will keep a look out.

I`ve sent a pm to the other guy and I think you should take them as they are rare to find
 
thanks mate - let me know what you find out. Do you know if its literally just an add-on to the existing system (i.e., slip on the AMG pipes over the current system)?
