  1. Update........... New clutch in and working absolutely perfectly!! Now for the MOT.....
  2. EPV just consider this....when you take it to Mercedes you'll be waiting for the call saying in addition to the service its needs this, it needs that, we recommend you do this, we recommend you do that, your bill will then be considerably more. This will be nicely written out on the invoice and kept on their computer for any potential buyer to find out and come "screaming" back to you demanding that you do the required work. We don't call them "stealers" for no reason......
  3. +1 Bang in the money. That sort of mileage and price is all about driveway neighbour appear, keeping up with the Jones’s whilst being maxed out everywhere....
  4. We used those for about a year and then the Mrs sold em on Facebook for like £30 each. I thought we should have got £40.... I moaned for a few days ....
  5. My boys buggies cost less than £70 new each from Mother Care. Light, easy folding and with big wheels.
  6. Nik, can you give an indication of the commission scales from Close ?
  7. I like the mats, I buy 20 in bulk off ebay for £5 a pair
  8. Agreed, AT put it at £3590, but that's just greedy.
  9. I'm not really of the FB era, but hey ho you need to move with the times.....anyway up pops this morning a 2005 A4 3.0 TDI SE Quattro Avant with sensible miles 140k and 13 stamps, brand new MOT no advisories, last serviced 5k ago. Its HPI clear..... Now its just my cup of tea, manual with tow bar and in black....... No leather, but who cares........ Purchased for £1650...... When will it go BANG !!
  10. I wouldn't...... Wait until youve got the car, it could come with a file of history from a specialist, or alternatively more Merc MD history which wasn't franchise linked to the previous history, Vendor depending there may be more history on a different plate...... You just don't know until you've got the car. Patience..
  11. I certainly wouldn't be pay Mercedes for a service nor a specialist, you simply don't know if it has been serviced or not. Has there been a keeper change after the last service ? EPV, what does the OBC service indicator say about the next required service ??
  12. Keep it on, it’ll double its value.
  13. It’s definitely more of a plus selling point that a negative, so I’ve always left them on, apart from if the electrics aren’t working and is an mot failure.
  14. EPV & TV can you show a before and after... I'm very intrigued...
  15. Yes, but a nice grey background with a gloss silvery grey floor would look stunning, also it would be available consistently....
