Hi Folks,
Although my car only has done 38k miles, its 14 years old so believe it a good idea to have the gearbox oil and Filter changed.

Has anyone used Star Auto Services in Cambridge who I have read provide a full flush process, or can anyone recommend someone else - I'm based in North London.

Regards Chris
 
First of all, yes it’s a good idea to get the auto box serviced. I’ve just recently got my 2004 350SL serviced at 10,000 miles yes 10k. Whilst getting this done I would recommend you get the electrical connector block seal replaced. Mine started to leak pre empting my service.

I got mine done by Automotive Solutions Ayr at a cost of £181 but it’s a fair travel from London unless you fancy I nice holiday to South West Scotland.
 
Whereabouts in London are you? If north London, Wayne Gates in Harrow are very good.

As above. Terry at WG is a great guy. Highly recommend.

Impressive ! Is that done by MB or an independent ?

Indie : Star Auto Services in Huntingdon. Not used them before but came across this whilst researching.
 
All done, to early to notice any difference, mechanic said the old oil looked in relatively good condition.

Anyway one less item off the to do list.
