Is there any places that service Nobles. Am based in Sheffield but don't mind travelling 50 or so miles. I know servicing seems to be steep on these but just want a place that is recognised for Noble servicing to keep its resaleable value. Not planning on selling her in the near future even though she stays in my garage most days.

So is there a competitive place that isn't going to have my trousers down. After all its only a ford engine lol.

Actually have just a search on Noble servicing. Don't think i will be going to a main dealers after what some of you guys have experienced with them and costs. I do know a decent mechanic from a motorpsport company who will do it for half the price but at least i'll know he's given the car the best once over. what do u guys think?

I'm going to be accepting Noble work later in the summer.

I've just moved my MR2 business into larger premises, and once i've put my M400 engine into my M12, other Noble work will be invited.

I'm in Barnsley, just off J37, about 9 miles from you!

If you can wait til Julyish, PM me.

If you know a competent mechanic, who doesn't lose his patience quickly cool , go for it..

JNM built the engines in Chesterfield and really know their stuff. About £60p/hr labour so though not cheap, not especially expensive either. The way I've been going on about them recently you'd think I have a part-share in the company - I don't smile.

Thanks for the replies. I live north Shefifeld so Barnsley is only up the road. Will consider you in the future but need it doing asap. The mechanic i am using has serviced all my previous vehicles including skylines and Evos. He is worth his weight in gold tbh and is so much cheaper than the main stealers. End of the day i know the car will be done properly. He already sorts all the niggles out on the noble anyway so knows my car inside out. Plus when i come to sell i'd rather sell to an enthusiast with any inspection welcome than a trader wanting to make a quick buck.

as said before my car came with full noble service history from various stealers if i let em loose on it for a further few years it will be dead.finding someone you trust to me is 99% of the battle.the car isnt rocket science so any decent mechanic with enthusiasm could sort it no probs
