sorry, I got side tracked and now Im back.

Well I know it needs a service in the nxt couple of months.....what should i change and where can I get the relevant parts, cost? Any decen place to take it to in the Birmingham area.....This is my fifth car in two years, so Im no stranger to services (although ur probably wondering if i even had em long enough to service em!!) but I really want to maintain this one well....as I really like it!!

Another thing.....Turbo timers..What ones have u guys got? This isnt my first turbo. had a turbo timer on the last car...considering Blitz: that shows boost....whats standard boost on uk spec 97 scoobys?

Any advice would be more than welcome, thanx
