I'll second DRJ top chaps, great service and a reasonable price too. They'll usually sort you a runabout if you give them a few days notice too!

Don't know if you want dealer history, if not as you see DRJ are highly recommended. As my car is 00 and FSSH I felt that I should stick to dealer servicing and I used Keith Price in Abergavenny and was very happy with the service received.

For me its a bit of a trek from Haverfordwest though

if you decide to use keith prices for your service be careful cos they only fit semi synthetic oil but if you use fully like me then take them the oil you use and they'll fit that for you.

Good choice - had my MY97 serviced there last week as well as a new clutch and flywheel, very pleased with results.

It may be my imagination but the car now feels a lot tighter and a lot younger than its years suggest, the flywheel makes the engine feel a lot more lively

The only problem is that I've got a slight misfire on full throttle but suspect the leads or a dodgy plug (had the plugs changed in the service). Full marks to DRJ who offered to swap the plugs straightaway when I phoned up but given the 1 hour drive to Carmarthan I'm going to try the leads first and take it from there.
