Service due
« on: 23 June 2009, 10:54:38 »
Hi OOfers

I gotta get my 2002 2.6 Elite Estate serviced but really worried that I might choose the wrong garage. Had some bad experiences at Formula One etc, :(
Can anyone recommend a Mig friendly garage in the Enfield/N.London or Herts at a push area

Many thanks

There is an old saying - "If you want a job doing properly, do it yourself".  This holds true with the vast majority of garages.

Just the annual once over,  change the oil & check the fluids etc, also handbrake needs doing as it doesnt hold the car at all and I have a Coolant level issue, probbly just the sensor has become detached as the tank is full.

Its done 110,000 and the cambelt was changed at 105,000 so that should be good for a while yet,
I cant see any leaks in the tell tale areas

I have no knowledge of how to do any jobs under the bonnet so will always use a qualified mechanic but there are always some who rip people off, no offence to the true genuine ones.

Any takers?  You will be well fed and watered and remunerated for the duration  ;)
