"A" Service booked in for Friday
« on: April 13, 2010, 08:25:29 PM »

Booked in at merc for Friday afternoon....

£175 Inc vat which I think is not too bad as they will valet my car and I will drink as
much free coca-cola as I can !!

I have also asked them to look at the rear shocks (advisory on mot for misting) and the front left wheel - again!

Good thing is that without prompting, they told me I still had warranty until July 2010

Either this an 'A Service' or just 'a service' ;) lol

Hope the service goes well.

I think with MOT "advisory" info it should be two new rear shocks please and a n/s front knuckle. I got my rear shocks out of them no problem.
My Independent Smart servicer said I should also ask Merc for a new clutch actuator because it was "noisy." They didn't change that however, but said they'd adjusted it. I had to accept that though because it was just one mechanic's word against another and the actuator is still going strong.
MOT advisory is something else.... now that's evidence!
Hope you get it all done jj  ;D

JJ...
As BB says...go for the jugular.....2 new shocks and replacement front knuckle.....
unless by front wheel you mean it's got a flat spot from a pothole in the road.

Ah! that's a nice result.


Maybe he'd just had the valet done as well.

Andrew's forfour was there last week and the week before. He had an A service done too, plus new speakers, new gear selector module, new rear screen*, new poly belts and a new wheel. Belts (and wheel of course) were chargeable. *When the contractors fitted the rear screen they broke the clips on the tailgate top/spoiler and Bristol have since fitted a new one, minus the proper spoiler. It's going in next week to have that fitted.

Andrew's car has only done about 10,000miles from new and he cleans it every week, plus its had about 4 Merc valets recently so it should look at its best. The only flaw at the moment is the paint on the "powered by BRABUS" badges (he paid a lot of money for) is peeling off. Need to email BRABUS and moan at them.

I'll add it to my extensive list lol.
Shouldn't be too hard to be honest. I have red, black and brushed alloy effect vinyl.
Bought all the parts to do domed vinyl, just never got around to making any yet.

What length?
