Default Any Mechanics on Here.




Any mechanics on here want to earn some money,


I would like the Cam Belts done as there is no record of them ever being done,

I would like a complete major service, and a T4 check,


the car is 75 V6 with 89000 on the clock.


Just want it right.

Many Thanks.

Rev

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.

Lates and Pete are great mechanics and now 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.

Interesting site. However I couldn't find their address.--

They're at:

Manor Farm
Grandborough Fields Road
Grandborough
Rugby
Warks
CV23 8DT

Lates & Pete have a large workshop at the back of the farm that they use at weekends. They both have day jobs during the week and I think all their work comes via word of mouth.

Latesd did the belts on my ZT190 twice when in my ownership. I can highly recommend them.
