Im looking to buy a Cerbera 4.5 99/00 ish in the new year, my concerns living in North Norfolk are that I never see any about on the roads round here and wondered if there are any, where will i need to go in Norfolk to get the 'beast' serviced and repaired, or is it a case of a good general mechanic would be able to do the job, or do i need to go to a specialised garage, please let me know of any garages in Norfolk that could help and any other advice on purchasing a Cerbera would be greatly appreciated.

I live in Ely so possibly not that far from you. The local garage is offord www.offord.com/ but there are some who feel traveling further afield is worth it. The Cerb "God" seems to be www.joospeed.co.uk/Default.asp Since, like most owners, I only do ~6k a year I am contemplating taking ut up to him for my next service. Besides its a good excuse to give it a good run.

Good luck!

NB - No, even the best general mechanic will be lost on a Cerb - your local priest has a better chance of keeping it on the road!

ive got one!!

i live in winterton, not far from you. get one and ill have someone to play with. in fact, get the v8 and youll fit right in cos itll sound like all the other tractors round here for the first twenty minutes

i got mine from kerridges in needham market and will be getting it serviced by them, thats about 5o miles away. or theres scole engineering (in scole, but im sure thats just a happy coincidence) and i hear very good things about them. theyre near diss.

hope to see you around mate, drop me a line if i can ever help out with anything. be advised though, i dont know anything of any use to anyone.

best wishes,
N.

I have a 98 4.5 and live in Lowestoft. Took my car to a well known `Localish` indy for a service when I first got it, and came away less than happy!!!
There is no good reason why a competent mechanic can`t service/maintain a Cerbera, (there not rocket science) many owners on this forum do so. I recently replaced the clutch,hydraulics,throttle pots & set it up on a laptop.
Get a properly sorted car and you will save a lot of hassle, but expect niggles!

NB. I used to be a mechanic - which helps

So, Cerb', where on earth did you get the software from ?
.... and what platform do you run it on ?
