Had to have all of the anti roll bar bushes replaced for the MOT.
Had an interim service done plus belt change. Found out the pulley hadn't been fitted correctly, was missing the washer, had started to damage the block and was leaking slightly so a new pulley was needed.
Also had the knock sensor changed, got that second hand from a P1 that he is breaking.
Still, it's all sorted. Will wrap her up in cotton wool until the tunnel run now!

They're based in Colchester. I've used them 3 times now and Andy knows his stuff and he always makes a point of showing you the bits he's taken off as well!

I've used Andy @ Special Scoobies loads of times. Wouldn't go any way else.

He does it all apart from rolling road stuff, that said he's got a man who live maps cars on the road under normal driving conditions, which some prefer anyway.

He's done all my mods and serving and I can't complaint. Couldn't be more helpful, well recommended.
