[Taff]

Andy womble, i live up mow cop so im using jubilee at newchaple but the garage that cocked every thing up is in Wigan, where i work from. I wont name them but they are a bunch of clowns!!! What garage do you use?

Based in Hartshill/Newcastle area...
When I had my Pug306, used to use a "back-street" garage in Hanley called TEMA Motor Services, indy Pug specialist but I felt that technology had overtaken them a bit. Had my motor from Citroen Manchester South as nowt available locally and not impressed with Kevin Odlums or Evans Halshaw. They have looked after me so far with MOT's (f.o.c.)..... I have started using a place called Richard Dalton who is just off the A34 (http://www.richard-dalton.com/) on Holditch Road for repairs that are beyond my capability as a heart condition prevents me from getting too involved these days.
