Thanks to Rick & Swifty for sorting out Mak, dealing with the last of the major issues (machiavelli the clutch) & sorting the lions share of the others, including serious welding at ridiculous o'clock, all while doing a service & pre-MOT check.

Superb work, excellent price, proper gents.

i saw the dodgy welding and masticking that you had done by some one else.
when swifty came out of the garage holding what can only be described as a piece of quality street tin that had been welded by a pigeons bottom onto your motor, then masticked into place just to make sure it held, i was gob smacked!!!
these two guys rick and swifty, do seriously know their stuff.
and when i say seriously i mean seriously!!

i have an idea take a weekend and have the nw pay the sw a visit and have a bit of lanning and a check over just for fun lol

it is worth the trip and the caravan site i stayed at around the corner was really nice with plenty for the kids to do including an indoor play room

clivvy · 26-09-2010, 20:31

tricky...i dont have kids, heck of a long way to go too cost wise

im going to have to have a good think about it because i hear great things about these two guys and id love to get mine running tip top (or at least be confident in a good check over that everything is good)

Come on guys, we are just ordinary people, we just like motors and keeping em on the road, we are not so special, just doin a job and object to the rip off merchants and there are a lot of things we cant do, like hook up a computer to your motor cos we aint got one, so when it comes to engine management we have to stab in the dark like lots of others, but some times common sense helps, any way glad you like what we do, thanks Rick & Swifty

clivvy · 27-09-2010, 07:50
