    A little nice viewing!

    Good stuff. Could have done with him when two Indies failed to fix my W210.

    Maybe it's age related (mine) but I'm loving the 1971 280 SE 3.5 Cabriolet (W111). A definite Lotto job.Roll on Friday. https://www.facebook.com/commerce/products/2662216887199272/

    Insurance

    No accidents, clean history and in the mature age range with 9+ years no claims. I have tried with various job titles and still high price. Same details at a friends place in Derry £170. The "nice" area I live in is my downfall. Even downgrading recently from my Benz to a Zafira 1.8 only...

    I read with envy these cheap insurance quotes. What ever car I have because of my location NW London nothing below £800.

    Alternative To Benz

    Bought a manual 2010 Vauxhall Zafira last night for £2300 and got rid of the Benz for £250. Pleasantly Surprised by how good it drives and the amount of space inside. Now the difficult task of getting rid of the dog smell. Anyway thanks to everyone for their input and advise over the years...

    Alternative To Benz

    I have to balance the high cost of maintaining this make of car, the ULEZ thing and the fact that it's rusting away. When it works its great particularly the power & smooth gear change but since I only do local mileage now and then this power is wasted. Added to this is the high insurance £800...

    Alternative To Benz

    I used Wayne Gates last year when the problem started as he was able to arrange for recovery (other indie didn't know any recovery people). He fixed the engine turning over but not firing up issue and replaced a couple of breather pipes for good measure. Car was OK for a few days before the...

    Alternative To Benz

    I'll give another local indie a go before making a final decision. Regarding parts what I meant was that for this car they are more expensive.

    Alternative To Benz

    Apologise if this offends as this a Benz forum. I’m getting nowhere finding the reason why my car cuts out at lights and whilst driving, having already spent about £500. It’s got to the stage of replacing parts till cause is found. Even the indie doesn’t know. The car is due for new brake pads...

    Engine Cutting Out Randomly W210

    Took it to the Indy about 3 weeks ago who diagnosed the cause as the CPS which he changed. He said STAR didn't show any codes, but upon reflection since he didn't charge me for the test not sure if he did use STAR. Don't know if it changes anything, but on the occasions that it cuts out, after...

    Unfortunately the problem is back. Since changing the MAF it hasen't cut out whilst driving but has done so twice whilst stationary.I'll give it a few more tries and if it's still happening will have to cut my losses and get rid of it. Have already spent nearly £400 since last October trying...
