How much does it usually cost?? Do they provide reports etc.? Do you need to prepare the car or anything?

Im thinking about an early b'day pressie to myself, and was wondering about where to get it done in the London area?

£75 for a RR run? ouch!

Rkas,

look at the advert banners for Power Engineering...

No preperation is needed, just make sure you have enough oil in your car!

Money for PE is usualy 45 + vat but there is a RR day on 5th October there for 30 I think.

I would never pay £75 with out the vodka... I wouldn't even pay that with it! What a rip off.

If you are just going for a power run, then no real preparation. Just make sure you have oil, water and enough fuel. Also make sure you tyres are up to correct pressures.

However, if you are going for mapping work, make sure you have a full tank because it will soon be used up

Cheers

Ian
