I would have thought that a Star Test would have found the problem as the shuddering would appear to be un-even engine running related which Star would highlight on the diagnostic report. Some of our good Indies on here will be possibly able to explain this better than I can.

Hi KTH, unfortunately I don't know what equipment they used and they were not a Merc specialist. The reason I didn't take it to a Merc specialist was because the nearest one is in Milton Keynes and I am in Luton and they told me I would need to leave it with them overnight and if I had taken it up there I would have had no transportation in order to get back home!!!
So I took it to a very garage that a good friend of mine recommended, they specialise in tyres and exhausts, tracking and engine diagnostics.
Have they got a bad reputation then?

sorry dude...but why would you think a tyre garage will be able to diagnose and fix your MB?...you need a local MB indie or you will continue to waste money...
I am sure if you do a search of MB indie garages on here , you will find a recommended one...
Hi mate, its not really a tyre garage only. Like I said they specialise in many other areas of car related problems. I reckon it just so happens that as my car was not misfiring when they carried out the diagnostics test that is the reason why nothing showed up on their machine.
