The good garage guide

[rustic]

Ultimately can tis thread be tidied up to just a list of garaes (or them put in a nw thread elsewhere) or they are going to get lost in the discussion - the discussion is good now but in the long run the list will be more useful.

Great idea, could it be done as a form of download, maybe together with a source of suppliers of parts under different headings, eg tyres, exhausts and batteries.. with address etc A huge task for someone.

While we are on this subject it would be great to have all the threads on things like tyres and tyre pressures under seperate headings, but this would take ages to organise. (and could be expensive) Very often we see the same questions coming up, like torsion bars, clutch issues and LSD issues, types of oils etc. A lot of the information is already available but difficult to find even with the search facility.
Not forgetting that this club is also about fellowship, people giving opinions about what they believe and drawing on other peoples experiences. That is also what makes this club great.
Best regards, Rustic

All good ideas
If we take them one at a time it could be done.
I started this thread because I want to get out and about in my terrano
and if I break down I can call the AA but as we all know they are limited in what they can do.
If we as a club have a list of good garages across the country when we are in trouble we know where to go or be taken to.
So come everyone list your garage for what ever reason and we can get the lists started :smile:

 

[willow]

So far the list has
2 garages in the north
2 in the east
2 in the west
Anyone down south got any
We hope to make this a list for us all to have in our cars. We all love to travel it would be good to know where to go if we have a problem.
M.O.T.S, Break downs, parts, advice.
The final list will have phone numbers email address and postal address
all put together by you :smile:
