Garage recommendation near Inverness or anywhere in Scotland.
Well seems like the long steep hills around Applecross has taken a toll on Redfive, as half way through today the crank pulley has started knocking/rattling! This is now a right nightmare as we're currently halfway through our Scotland trip. Does anyone know of any good garages around Scotland that could replace it, I could get a corteco pulley sent to the garage. We're heading up north to Thurso tomorrow but will be heading down to Inverness on Monday. So if anyone knows of any reliable preferably MG Rover specialist garages around the Inverness they recommend? Cheers.

Only MG specialists I know of is the obvious one, Dreadnaught in Callender but that's a long way south of Inverness. Try Gary (Lovel), he lives north of Aberdeen and might know somewhere nearer the Inverness area.

Those roads around Applecross are definitely a challenge. Sorry to hear about the issues. Hopefully you got to experience some great vantage points.
Rooting for you both. |

Sorry to hear about your situation Rick although I would hope that any of the local garages in the area would be competent at changing the pulley

Really appreciate it mate thank you for your message. I have however been contacted by a chap just outside Elgin who is sorting it for me tomorrow. If he hadn't contacted me I would have been taking up your offer. Thank you Quote:

+ a lot of places here are closed over the weekend and don't open until Monday, and would have to order the part in which could take days. |
