You are,the one's that come from RCM come with Subaru LOVE.SJ.

 

For £150 extra I would want it to come with a sexy bird that does ATM in the back of the delivery van.

 

.SJ.

 

What are you talking about? How has a spanner size got anything to do with a captive nut which is inside the rear of the cam belt cover that you cannot access? The outer cover has bolts going through to the captive nuts inside the rear of the cover. I have had it where the bolts turn the captive nuts in the rear covers. Was just making the point that your "hour to do a camb belt" would be lovely in an ideal world.

 

Must admit it was late and the way i read it,i thought you spun/rounded a nut/bolt head,which usually happens when people use a multi point socket instead of a 6 sided socket.
So you would've earned your 3hrs labour that day then lol

 

Oh the noise of breaking plastic!

 

Advanced Automotive cam belt kit - £165

I think that kit from RCM is the best part of £300.

To be honest there's loads of items, I'd love to hear how Advanced Automotive can offer them so much cheaper.

Come on Mike, why is it chap ???

 

It's not cheap as such, no different to other retailers like Importcarparts etc. it's more that RCM are 'not cheap'

 

There's "not cheap" and then there's "taking the ****".....

Another example....

£180

It's not cheap to build a car like GS2....

 

Is not the same part for starter! One is a V3 tensioner and one is "might fit some V3

 

I saved a tenner on my rcm induction kit ordering it from advanced automotive although it appears to have been sent direct from rcm. After just looking on the rcm site i notice they have now lowered the price in line with what i paid from advanced automotive

 

Actually it is the exact same part.
What RCM don't say is that some very early V3 cars still used the tube design tensioner.

Early tensioner

I agree, was just trying to put it politely.

The RCM supporters seem to buy regardless, the rest of us know to shop around. They do seem very expensive. Labour could be justified by a superlative service, but charging so much for parts isn't really cricket.

 

For the record, RCM's labour charge is actually reasonably 'competitive' at £55 + VAT per man hour.

But, for sure, you do seem to pay well over the odds for many of their parts (when compared to 'the like-for-like market average').

 

Well looking forward to trip down 2moz and having look around the place

 

It's like an operating theatre. I always feel guilty putting rubbish in their bins lol, as not only are they seemingly perpetually empty, but mega clean too.

Also, at the bottom of Brindley Road, just before it goes 90-deg left and onto RCM's joint, is a great burger van... You know it makes sense.

 

You might pass me on the way down, Billy is booked in for more power. Even though I said I was done on the power side.

 

How did yesterday go Chris?

 

Would that be 'SALLYS BAPS' ? She does a decent bacon bap.

 

It's often (always?) 'manned' by a middle aged bird, for sure.

Great baps.

Yeah, the bacon bap is indeed mighty fine - Olly got me one once.

I tend to opt for cheeseburger or hotdog... With onions and tommyarta sauce, obviously.

 

why not live a little.......................double cheeseburger with bacon and onions..............

 

As much as bacon cheeseburgers are tasty, I like mine unsullied. Most of the time.

I'm a foodie 'purist' LOL

 

Actually, that's not strictly true... I love pineapple cheeseburgers.

But most vans don't stock the pineapple rings (or chunks).

 

you wont put bacon on a burger but you will put fruit on a burger? ? ?

you a freaking wrong-un

 

Ha. I knew you'd respond with that.

Most people think I'm wired wrong to want pineapple on my burger (and pizza).

But I bet you like pineapple on a gammon stake, right?

 

no,i like a pile of fries,4 or 5 fried eggs and a tin of beans...........

 

Sound

I will certainlly going back, very happy with service and work carried out.

 

You didn't go down the M1 did you Chris? took me 2 hours to get to SC from friggin Barnsley. Kin roadworks
