Default Vehicle inspection....

Ok, i must be paranoid or something as i always think that something is wrong with my classic. I'm fed up with all these "engineers" who pretend to know everything but when it comes to a thing there dunno a sh****.

I need someone genuine,preferable a technician who's been working with scoobs to inspect my car , as i think it got leaks , can sea some oil marks etc, and i think it just doesn't sound right. Don't whant anyone fancy who will charge me trillions....Just need simple thing,chec k the scoob & a list with things need to be done, fixed or to tell me that i'm really

Much apretiative

Give Hughberry Vehicle Services a bell and mention scoobynet. They'll do you a really good price on any work that needs doing and seem honest enough. I've had a few jobs done by them and the wife's scenic is on there awaiting a verdict on it's cambelt problem

It would be cheaper, and even more so if you have signed up for club prices.

When I did mine all he had was the silkolene stuff

I can sort you Denso's or NGK's from my workplace, find out what heat grade would be suitable from your mapper...
