Hi Folks, R129 due a service and MOT- I seem to remember these guys coming up in discussion, any experiences?

Service will be a "B" which as far as I can glean from the service booklet should include;

Engine oil and filter (every 13,750 miles).
Brake fluid change (every 18 months).
Air pollen filter (done).
Wiper blades (done).
Coolant change.
Spark plugs (every 56,250 to 68,750 miles).
Transmission fluid and filter (not stated in the book but I believe every 18,000 miles).

Any comments on the above or omissions? Hopefully MOT should reveal any other consumables.

PM me with you're email and I'll send you a service sheet for the R129. Transmission won't be included in a "B" service

I've used them a couple of times and will use them again for this year's service as well. Seem very competent and not stupidly priced, nice family run business.

Last time I was there they spent some time diagnosing a fault for me when I'd just turned up, very helpful and has had the desired effect of me wanting to use them again

Have used anton over at TM for a couple of years. Very knowledgeable and great prices too..always a smattering of classics in the workshop too (SECs / W140s )as well as more modern stuff.
