Thanks
How much does it cost?
Mercedes want £375
Car is running really well so wasn’t sure it needed doing just yet
Yes I did fancy c250 but the car I’ve bought is beautiful and the test drive was great so I bought it

Hi welcome.
Best done when you can , I think the first one can be one of the most important.

The indie guy that done my 320 was £120 , about 3 yrs ago now.

 

[bertb1]

Thanks
I was aspecting between £150/£200 so anything under that would be a bonus

Welcome Bert, the general consensus on here is that it should be done around 40,000 miles, hence the monosylabic 'Do it now advice.' Glad to hear it's running beautifully, timely maintenance is the key.

 

[bertb1]

Thank you McDonald
Hopefully will get in done over the next month

Hello all
Does anyone know someone who does this kind of work in the Manchester area as I’m struggling to get quotes
A lot of garages don’t want to know
Thanks

AMG Cheshire seem to be ok as far as I’ve heard

Could just be the badge though

Welcome get them to look at the park brake at the same time. Sounds like adjustment, but I am not an expert.

Hi Bert, welcome to the forum I have never used the foot brake, it must be OK though as it went through the MOT with no problems.

Hello
Don’t think it’s good practice to not use the foot brake when parked on a hill
Well that’s what I’ve been told

I do on a steep hill, its the only time i use it.
Who remembers being taught to incline the front wheels towards the kerb, when parking on a hill?

Hello everyone
Just a quick question
If you put your car in park is it supposed to roll a little?
I’m only asking as I’ve not had the foot brake fixed yet but when I put it in park and it rolls I have to pull hard to get it out of park and it doesn’t sound good
Any advice would be greatly appreciate
Thanks
