    I worked for Merc until earlier this year, although I only got to experience two new cars (2015 and a 2016 model) they were both absolutely amazing. The thing to remember with service, is it's not actually Mercedes providing it, assuming you got it from a retailer. They're all franchises, so if you had a bad experience at one, you're well within your rights to find your next nearest retailer that's under different ownership, and take it there. Same goes for most car manufacturers.
  5. Right, we're on track to sorting it! I originally couldn't see any signs of a leak. Not sure why, as when I topped it up, a very obvious drip started beneath the car. Basically, one of the pipes (annoying, one in a difficult to get to location) has obviously sprung a leak. I'll need to get it jacked up tomorrow, find the leak, patch it up and then take it for a flush. Cheers to DavidP for the advice, too! Once I'd put in some cheapy Halfords stuff (just to move the car, to hell with driving it hard for now) and let it run for a minute it seemed to move fine. It felt like the gearbox was slipping a little, but nothing like what it was doing yesterday. Unsure, wasn't me that changed it last.
  6. Argh, checking autobox oil isn't the easiest thing when you don't want to move the car. Anyway... I let it roll back a few foot to slightly more 'even' ground before testing the oil again (cycled through gears with engine running, but otherwise cold) and the oil was correctly at the 'cold' level on the dipstick. Only trouble was, it was brown and smelt slightly burnt - which I've read is not a good thing! I've been told the oil was replaced before mapping (200 odd miles ago) so for it to burn that quickly, something must be wrong - although surely I'd be seeing 'bits' in the oil if something were truly broken inside the gearbox? I'm half tempted to do a flush on the driveway with some fresh stuff, see how it reacts to that, then take it for a proper inspection afterwards? Any better ideas?
  7. Not sure if that's a good or a bad thing...
  8. It's not a stock cooler, it's two aftermarkets (due to going single) - I've had some pictures of how they were plumbed in so I can trace the pipe routes. Nothing obvious, but I haven't had the car jacked up yet as it's somewhat stuck in the current parking space that it's in Will take a look over the weekend and report back, but so far my thoughts are that a leak has sprung and I just need to fix & flush. At least, I'm hoping
  9. Its done less than 1,300 miles, of which 1,000 were bedding in, the rest has been mapping & general driving - I'd be very shocked. As above, after I'd stopped driving, left the engine idling, cycled through gears and then tested the levels it was very, very low, despite being completely flushed etc. roughly 200 miles ago (before mapping). I've had a brief look under the car and noticed some odd spatters, so I've got a feeling a pipe has come off one of the coolers, but it definitely looks like a weekend job to get the bumper off for a closer look. :/
  10. Had a read through, inspired me to go and look at the fluid level again... despite being fine earlier, we're reading a solid zero now! It's propped up on a kerb (with the dipstick-side as the high side) but I'd expect to see at least SOME fluid on the stick. Probably just a hose popped off one of the coolers somewhere (single setup with 2 x coolers).
  11. Evening all, Having an odd problem with the autobox today. I decided to drive to work and back in the Supra, all seemed fine until I went to go home. Almost straight away it felt like I had a 'clutch' depressed, revs were increasing and the car wasn't really moving. I tried going from D to 2 and L and didn't hear the usual "clunk" in to gear sound. Oddly, I could turn the car off and back on to get it to enter D, just so I could crawl it home, although I had to stop every 3/4 of a mile to restart the car and hope that I didn't have to stop again. Now, it doesn't feel like it'll go in to gear (i.e. no "clunk" and if/when it does, it's like driving with a clutch almost depressed. Any ideas?
  12. Anybody on here? I was in the daily and in a rush, so didn't stop to say hi!
  13. [ATTACH=CONFIG]219718[/ATTACH] Was it the one on the right perchance? If so, I know the owner. I thought he'd be on the forum though :| I'll have to ask.
  14. Wait until you show them slicers It's all well and good having youtube videos there, hell, there are tutorials for everything - people usually just can't be bothered or don't have the time to sit and watch videos. I know that I don't learn much from watching someone else do it, and prefer to have bit of an interactive environment to learn in.
  15. Exact same situation here - as well as the fact you can do genuinely top notch reports in it, especially useful when all the company will provide is Excel rather than any 'advanced' reporting systems.
  16. I've been thinking about doing the same thing as well for a while - although more so teaching people how to use it effectively. My main concern with the latter part is people needing said training during 9-5, Monday to Friday... when I'm already in a desk job! I already do a few bits here and there (again from word of mouth) but so far it hasn't really been worth the time. Mostly doing it because I'm weird and enjoy doing complicated requests in Excel.
  17. There's a garage in Milton Keynes that I've been using a bit recently called Marlin Motor Engineers. Always used to see quite a few nice cars in their (Skylines, Ferraris, a few classic Lotus etc.) and gave them a try. Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Awful website though.
  18. I had an NA years ago, but it was before I even moved to my current home - very unlikely, but possible.
  19. Evening all, Just having bit of a sort out and I found this doohicky. Anybody have a clue what it is, and if it's worth keeping? If it's any clue, it's likely left over after a single turbo conversion
  20. As the title says Anybody got either of these available?

    Insurance

    Why's that? I'm with Admiral currently as they've always given me the best prices on the Supra. Edit: maybe it's because I've not switched off from them in 5-6 years, but they're all good with the mods on my last renewal.
