I'm thinking of having the front of my Cerb re sprayed over the winter and wanted to know if anyone has any experince of any companies in the Liverpool, Warrington, Manchester area that they could recommend.

Then next on the list is a possible visit to a garage for some advice, especially on the strong smell of petrol, so again who do you recommend?

Thanks

I just had a front end re-spray and a bit of paint work on the rear at a Nationwide bodyshop, they are nationwide and have a good rep

The finish is amazing and it only cost £600 in total that included a hire car and a valet. and is warrantied for 3 years
Hope this helps

If you can find the leak then the AA to tow it to a garage. I most certainly wouldn't be driving round in a Cerb that smelt strongly of petrol.

Thanks, but I'm sure it nothing leaking in the engine bay, just running really rich eg when i put the car in the garage you can hardly breathe because of the strong fumes / petrol smell

Get it checked quick - all our rubbers are of an age where they've deteriorated and will start going at the same time.

Had all of mine replaced earlier in the year (1998 Car) - if you can't breathe because of the fumes, you'll have a leak.

Best £10's you'll spend on the car.

They're great guys at TrackvRoad, take my Chim there, though I think they send their bodywork jobs up to Surface and Design in Blackpool. By all accounts they do a very good job.
