Wingerworth, just south of Chesterfield. Hard to find at first visit so take care to have a copy of directions and a local map off the internet. Have a look at their website, it has directions.

From Peterborough, there's two places a bit closer than Scoobyclinic (if that's a bit too far to travel) - Carnetix over at Melton, and TSL at Keyworth (near Nottingham).

Zen Performance near Wellingborough will also be near.
Take the A605 south to the A14 then A45 - its about 30 miles.

I live near Peterborough and have been using Zen in Wellingborough, but am giving Tracktive in Melton Mowbray a try next month. They are roughly the same distance and prices, both are friendly and far better (I think) than the main dealer (although I've not been to the new one in Peterborough yet.)

Andy, I've been to most dealers and specialists around the area for the last 5 years but you won't go wrong with Carnetix/Tracktive at Melton Mowbray. A top bunch of folks that actually take the time to chat to you about your car.

If you ask Dave on Friday at the FFF meet for a FFF membership card it will also get you 10% off labour there .

See you friday.

Wolfie.

They know a lot more about black taxi cabs!!

You can't go wrong with Carnetix, I have been going there for a couple of years now and it is the first company that actually talked me out of getting certain parts for my car rather than just taking the money, with their customer service and that they will spend time actually talking to you about your car and future / potential mods etc. are the reasons that I won't go anywhere else ........ plus the road from Colsterworth to their premises is one very nice road

See you Friday at the FFF meet.
PS. Wolfie is the hairy one

Have you got any history on these? I have never heard of them before despite having some of our local Subaru club members that live in Whittlesey
