You're not that far from
Lates (about an hour or so drive) - well worth paying him a visit. Him and Pete will have the belts, waterpump etc changed, car checked over and fully serviced, comfortably in half a day, whilst you watch the whole thing while drinking tea and asking daft questions (well, I do anyway!).
You may have to make the tea yourself though
.
Lates and Pete are great mechanics and know our cars inside and out. They used to be regular posters here and many of the longer standing members still use them for all their servicing and repairs.
