That's what I was meaning. Anyway, heh ho. At least I can coldly comfort myself with the knowledge that no one was left owed any money when things went mammaries up. Cost me my pension to see them right though. Probably should have been more hard hearted but, it wasn't then, and isn't now my way of doing things. I may have to seduce a rich widow with a heart condition. Luckily, the thought of having you as my stepfather drove me to get my mother to change her will just in time.

How would I know what the one and only service I've had cost. I don't pay for it.

Just about to actually. Can't wait. Weather perfect today. Whisky Macs and stew when we get back I expect.

Right. The Golden Star that is my E350CDi has been serviced a day early.....
Came back from Israel on Tuesday night convinced the service was Thursday. Got to the dealer this morning to find I wasn't listed.....then we realised I was a day early. I was happy to leave the car there till tomorrow as I can drive the Sirion or the Punto, but no, they had room and slotted me in.
So about £640 (inc VAT) later the car is serviced, gearbox oil changed (a once in a lifetime job at 4/5 years years or 50,000 miles) and all wipers replaced. Car cleaned and I must have drunk several pounds worth of decent coffee and a Fanta. As the car has only done 29,000 miles I think its worth it, but after next years service, I reckon it will be time for the indy.
Had to go to a meeting today with a colleague so we went in his new MX-5. Lovely handling, but simply too noisy for me as a passenger.

I would keep going with the FMBSH for another year or so. The you can switch to MBs 7 year service(or whatever it's called). Much cheaper.
I have just had mine done, £138 IIRC.

Keep up at the back, he's trading it in for a Renault Captur.

Just booked the car in for its next service one year and three days after the last one. I will have done about 8,000 miles (now at about 37,000 miles). The B service is the biggie and includes a brake fluid change all for £365 inc VAT. I think that's not too bad given the complexity of the car and it is being done in a big glass and steel gin palace.
