Questions mailed to lofty
Due to the amount of e-mail received daily, requesting help with problems on the 'A' Class models I will only now attempt to answer questions that are preceded by a small donation, Minimum of £1.00 (which is 74p after PAYPAL have taken their cut, fees) or CD and /or ignition module tools have been/are being purchased. I do retain lists of subscribers/supporters of this site, where possible please quote the date of purchase of your CD, which is on the opening page.
I also answer questions on www.baby-benz.com/ as well as some other forums but will not now respond to PM's on www.benzworld.org/. Answers given are based on my own experience or information contained on my site.
Where I do not know the answer I will say so. I would also suggest you look at my page 3 and at the site index to see if the subject matter /information you require is already provided before mailing me.
Thank you

Ignition Module cover Removal Tools(now back in stock)
These tools are needed to make changing your plugs easy, the plugs & and ignition coil pack is covered by a plastic shield D that is difficult to remove without tools of this type. Mercedes have tools but they cost a great deal more than the ones I produce, and they will not want to sell them to you anyway, they prefer to change your plugs at a £100.00 + vat Plus the premium price you will pay for the plugs, an outrageous price for something that you can easily do yourself.
If you would like a pair, I still have a few pairs available for immediate delivery 20.09 09.
They are constructed of steel with polythene grips, tested on my own (petrol engine) car.
Cost £10.75 with printed instructions Plus Packing, Postage and Paypal commission of 4%,

BUT DO YOUR TOOLS WORK?
Please see the customer comments and further details on mypage 30,

Hi Lofty,
I Bought a set of these a while back and have just used them for the second time to service my A190. Just wanted to say what an awesome piece of kit this is and must be the best £10 I've spent in ages. Makes removal of the cover so easy with minimal risk of snapping those delicate lugs.
Many thanks
& Rob 22.09.09
Hello Lofty, Thanks for sending your excellent module cover removal set, about 20 minutes after receipt I even had the 4 old plugs in my grubby mitts, maybe you should even patent it. Also I would like to congratulate you on your excellent and informative Homepage site, it's a credit to you. unquote

Please Note
If you would like to purchase either item or both but do not wish to use Paypal contact lofty for alternative means of payment. e mail:- lofty

All items when leaving me will be 100% tested, packaged with appropriate fragile labels and correct postage paid. Address details are copied & Pasted from your order form so please ensure they are correct when ordering.

Where the incorrect Global postal location has been selected and as a result incorrect postage added to your invoice, I will contact you requesting the additional cost using a paypal money request, reasons for the request will be entered on the mail you receive. We do all make mistakes but orders in future will not be dispatched until the balance is received.
If the balance is not forthcoming in a reasonable time period your payment for the item will be refunded less any paypal costs incurred to your paypal account.

All mail is sent & marked 'First Class Post'. Overseas 'Air-mail'
While every effort is made to ensure safe delivery I cannot be responsible for non delivery and items damaged in the post, should this arise then it should be taken up with your postal service. I will be happy to provide all details when and where posted.
where on the rare one occasion this happened I meet the customer with the cost of a replacement CD but this is as a 'good will gesture' and not a legal entitlement.
If the goods arrive damaged Please inform me straight away, Informing paypal that the goods have been received but are not as described as in my advert is in my opinion not valid or sound reason for stopping payment.
Refunds policy
Do to the nature of the goods being sold Refunds will not be considered.
