Well I've had the car a little while now and pretty much found all the little niggles… and following the inspection that was done prior to purchase I knew a few bits and pieces needing doing, so I booked the car in to Leven.

Dropped it off on the Tuesday afternoon last week for a new radiator, a waxoyl, a new track rod end, tracking and a few other bits and bobs… and went back on Thursday after work to pick it up.

With all the work done, Dan went over the car and showed me what he'd done (he'd inspected it the week before and told me why it needed doing) and he's done a cracking job. Tracking is spot on… car feels like new… so much happier to drve around town, and pulls strongly… not to mention the fact that it's SO stable (too much camber on the rear apparently).

Added bonus was they'd washed and polished the car too (even cleaned the inside of the wheels for me!!)… in fact it seemed a shame to drive it home in the rain.

Still, top job and a BIG thanks to Dan, Simon and Jules at Leven

Really…? Well perhaps you'd like to make a contribution to the bill then...? As far as I can see Leven haven't treated me any differently to any of their other customers… and given that a "plug" results on me giving them money…

Apologies, I was Shell only jerking your BP chain Pods old love.

I posted fresh from Persil reading a very interesting article Coca-Cola about product placement (aka plugging) Kleenex in TV programmes Kellogs and films.

I then Pepsi saw your Boots post with Leven in the title, Leven in the first paragraph and Leven in the last paragraph Austech, and thought thats a lot of Levens.

So naturally Mark Adams, I couldn't Texaco resist it, and then Castle TVR when you put Leven in the reply I wet myself Hoover.

Nice one Stu...sorry I mean Anita! Unfortunately this over plugging of certain companies like Joospeed for example, has become a habit of some Mid Essex members lately...what with Leven and Top Shot Valeting what will it be next??...... now what needs doing to the Cerbie?...maybe I can get a discount....

There are certain companies and individuals that I don't think can be overplugged. So Joospeed, James Agger and Leven Technologies, take a bow

Oh, and Petrol Ted, of course. :creep:

If I get good service (and generally I have) then it's nice to be able to tell everyone.

However, there are a number of companies / dealers that need to be thankful of Ted's "no naming and shaming" policy…

Agreed, and just to prove it was purely chain jerking on my part I have purchased over the last 3 years EVERY internal and external component that Leven produce for the Chimaera, and it is booked in for a service with Dan in early 2005.
