Assuming it's Ashford, I can travel at £23.40 each way (on the day)  - no advance tickets are showing at the mo, although they might be populated later on....  

With respect to cambelt kit - Gates, Contitech, or SKF kits are all pretty much the same - it's one area where you actually don't benefit from a genuine item :y

Yes, Ashford Kent! :y

Ok James, I will go along with your advice on this one :y :y as I know very little about all the different types, so all I have ever done with any car I have used / owned is default to the original manufacturers parts list. ;)

Don't do brakes or suspension work, is that to do with insurance cover or you just don't want that type of work.
The reason I ask is I will be wanting that kind of work doing soon and would defo want a quote if you do it for forum members, any chance?

Also do you do any work on the TD, say a themostat change.

Good luck with the business, never had the pleasure of meeting you but you are held in high regard I read.

Hi Rob,

I am regularly in Cardiff... where in wales are you, and what jobs are you looking for?

The V6 is more my area than the TD, but depending on what you need I'm sure I can help... :y

Hi Mick

Stat change no problem.

I AM fully insured for any motor mechanical work, incl brakes and suspension - however I generally don't do this kind of work because a) I'm not as experienced in this area as I am with engines and B) it's more hassle than it's actually worth - compared to things like cambelt changes (which by comparison, very little can go wrong)...

Let me know your requirements though, I'm sure we can come to an arrangement.

Good Luck James!

good starter web site  :y
You may find that having a "contact form" is better than letting everyone know your email address (it gets hidden in the form) that way ppl cant spam it. I can send you the files /code if you wish.

Thanks MJay. The insurance was amazingly easy to setup. Just went online, selected my business as a motor mechanic, selected how long I'd been doing it formally "not v long!" and paid the price.... took about 5 minutes ;D

I've had a lot of messages from northern members wanting work done, and to do them individually makes it harder with travel costs.....

... I'm therefore considering taking a week out and having a bit of a northern "tour" if there's enough interest, might need a bit of co-ordinating, though!!

Best of luck with the venture James... :y :y :y

The website looks good... Very professional but I agree with an earlier comment about removing your email address.

I assume you've had a discussion with Teilo about the LPG stuff?
