thats where I was on Saturday and where the red 111s is i'm considering.

Got there at 4.00pm on Saturday (unannounced) and only one salesman about who was helpful and chatty.

I'll let you know how i get on if we buy!

got both our 111r's from Gordon Lamb. Fairly expensive first time round, but they usually have a good range of stock. Definite plus point - when they delivered the second 111r with scratches down the side they were happy to let a local garage fix it and bill them.

Gordon Lamb in Sheffield has a pretty crummy reputation for servicing and aftersales. I've used them once to fit tyres and they made a real mess of the wheels in the process

I won't be dealing with them that's for sure they tried to take the right Pi** out of me on a Trade in, I've been offered at least £2000 more by any other dealer

Morning Tim, just had an Idea

Took the Exige there for it's 9k service, as that's where is was bought from when new. Service cost £480 all in which was quite high I thought, and they said they needed the car all day too. Also had rear brake pads done which cost £210.

Car did come back fully valeted though, and they sorted out a few squeeks and rattles for free.

They've also quoted me £350 for two Yoko AO48's supplied and fitted, which is the cheapest quote I've had.

£480 for the 9ooo mile service does seem steep. I havent had mine yet though so will wait and see.

£210 for rear brake pads is taking the pi$$ and I bet they used the standard Brembo pads as well.

You can get a full set of Pagids for that money from Eliseparts and fit them yourself in half an hour.

Price for tyres is what I was charged for 2 rears fitted by Stratstones in Cardiff
