it's called euro service by lee mill just behind the jet garage. its owned by my bosses brother and he is a great mechanic, if there are jobs I can't do he will do it and at a good rate to. I'll pm you his number if you want just tell him Ian at big pine recomended you he should look after you.

hope this helps :)

That the same place that does Citroens?  If so had dealings with them in the past and was very pleased with them.

Yep, I will post up some pics later..

Given the last cambelt was done by a VX dealer, it was an utter disgrace..  >:(

My first thoughts when I saw how far out the cams were when the crank was at TDC, were "how the break is this thing even running"  :-X

All timed up to perfection now and running sweetly. I bet you that flat spot will disappear now, scott!! :y
