Transmission - Consult Workshop on A180 58 Reg Looking for Garage Recommendations

[Adriana]

Hi all,

My A180 Mercedes, 58 Reg number showed Transmission - Consult Workshop last week. I have got a diagnosis report and and I was told there is a fault with the transmission/gearbox which could need replacement. I know from my garage where I service/MOT the car that only certain places take on the job.
I am attaching the diagnosis for those of you who “speak the language”

I am based in East London and I am looking for a few garage recommendations where I can get it fixed so I can plan recovery there, I think I can’t drive it like this anywhere, plan budget and understand how long will it take to have it up and running again.

Any recommendations, thoughts from you or quotes on the job would be highly appreciated.
The car is relatively low mileage for its age, 75K mileage so I am thinking it’s worth fixing- happy to be told otherwise
Your help is highly appreciated.
Thank you
Adriana

@V6Matty has had his transmission repaired IIRC

I had to have mine rebuild when the input shaft bearing failed, so it was still drivable but sounded awful.
Looking at the fault though it would seems it’s going to need a rebuild,
When I had mine done a couple of years ago it was ~£800, problem being now though is the person that did it has retired

@alexanderfoti AMF Mercedes is near Tonbridge. If he can’t handle it, he may well know someone who can.
