Well you will all be sad to hear that the camper has gone and been replaced by a Ford. Going to collect her tomorrow weather permitting!! Just wondered if anyone knows of any decent specialists for servicing around these parts (-50 miles from Portsmouth).

Thanks Jimbo

No just couldn't find one that ticked all the right boxes for the money, either massive miles, chavved up or over modded, over priced and miles away etc etc.

Yeah I tend to stay away from Main dealers but someone else said they were pretty good.

Tremona RS garage in Southampton. I take my RS there, but they do all Fords not just RS. They don't advertise as they go through word of mouth, that to me speaks volumes. They are as good as any garage I have ever been to and very competitively priced. I highly recommend them, they have service my RS for a few years now.

Thanks AJ, that sounds like a good option. Where are they in Southampton (Tremona Road by any chance!!)?

Your intuition about its location is spooky, but completely wrong!

(PS a slight disclaimer,I have never owned a Ford but had a Cossie YB engine in my Caterham:P)

I thought it was a good guess Fred!! I will give them a try in Jan when the service is due. I saw you the other night, either Monday or Tues about 2200hours on the M27 westbound heading towards juction 11. I couldn't work out what it was as I approached you as the rear lights we so high up, then realise it was the Moggy!! It is absolutely huge!!

You won't be disappointed with their work Jim, they treat your car as if it were their own. It near the docks, by the Harley Garage, not far from the texaco garage, hope that helps!

We had been out to play in the snow around Guildford/Farnham, given that they had 5" that night and us none. If I'd known we were going to have a decent dollop here I could have saved myself a drop of the black stuff.I hope I wasn't holding everyone up!

I have known Malc and Rich since the days when they were in Tremona road. Top blokes and what they don't know about Fords is not worth knowing.
You can always tell a good garage by how clean it is. You could eat your dinner off of the floor at Tremona biggrin

Thanks for the recommendation guy, took the car into Tremona Garage today for the service and really impressed with them. Rich and Malcolm are really polite and helpful. The work is top notch and they sorted all the things I wanted doing outside of the normal service as well. You really get the sense your a customer as opposed to many places that make out they are doing you a favour. Would highly recommend them myself now. Thanks guys for pointing me in their direction.

I mentioned you AJ and Rich said he knows you and he was very complimentary about your RS.
