Recommend a good garage/mechanic in Sheffield - no advertising/jobs


Recommended Posts

Hi, I need a mechanic that can plug in a mercedes sprinter to diagnose. I believe it is running in limp mode as it frequently won't run faster than 50 mph. I have had a couple of astronomical quotes for just plugging in and i wondered if anyone knew of a decent cheap mechanic or someone with the machine to read my van?? or can you buy the equipment to do it?? thanks

 

To plug your sprinter in to dedicated scanner is about £45 ,would a normal code reader not read any faults .i.e a snap on type machine or sim alien ?

Not tried wiring but have put a new battery in thinking that what it was.

 

Before you spend any more money take it to a decent car spares shop most will do you a free battery and alternator check while you wait
