specialist in East Anglia ?
All,
I am due a cambelt change (5 years old now) and a 48000 service. I also have a couple of other issues (knocking noise when braking as low speed ie in traffic, and leaking transmission fluid from front left axle seal). Can anyone recommend a specialist within 100mile radius of Ipswich ?? I'm thinking of going to Monza Sport in Cowley, but its a bit of drive.... |

Not sure if anyone else here uses him. -- Catman MIB#14 SKoGA#6 TEAR#4 BOTAFOF#38 Apostle#21 COSOC#3 Tyger, Tyger Burning Bright (Remove rust to reply) Alfa 116 Giulietta 3.0l (Really) Sprint 1.7 75 2.0 TS Triumph Speed Triple: Black with extra black bits www.cuore-sportivo.co.uk |

I've booked it in for the 22nd. Asked for the 48k service (due in feb
anyway) with a cambelt, tensioners and variator. Plus, there is a knocking sound when I brake at low speed, some newsgroup articles mention that this could be the suspension bushes - so I'm getting those looked at too. Oh, and the MoT done... All in all fairly comprehensive ! I'll post comments back here when all is done... |
