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....

:) Thanks for the tip.
Anyone else comment on this guy ?? (whilst I dont doubt you judgement,
the fact you know him makes you a little biased).

I am indeed biased, but I did meet him *because* he looks after my cars,
not the other way around IYSWIM.

Not sure if anyone else here uses him.

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...
