In the Yorkshire area, not a main stealer obviously.

I need to replace the rocker gaskets and clean the oil breather on a 2.5 V6, apparently an easy job but would be good to find a place which has done them before.

Cheers for the help - i know its a fairlyish longshot.

Tom,

Give Martin Shann a call at Huntington Service Station on 768808. Excellent service that doesn't cost the earth. I take my daily hacks there for service/mot/brakes etc. And they don't try to sell you repairs you dont need.

Get my vote every time.

We should start a Bangernomic section on PH I think. Seems a few of us run cheap old hacks and nice toys.

Bloody hell i couldnt help myself. Really needing some working wheels i promised myself a fiesta or a cinquecento but as soon as i got clicking away on ebay my old habits set in!

Good news i have been to Huntington service station and they should be able to get the other 3 of my 6 cylinders working again for a very reasonable price thumbup

Guilty as charged hehe

It was a fine motor that, not at all deserving of JSG's comment "the worst car I have ever driven"

Specialist Cars of Malton mate, its an awesome place to have a desk! Pop in for a brew and a shufty if you're passing, we've got some amazing stuff in including a Carrera GT and one of only 15 IROC cars.

Cheers Leigh, good to see you again mate, did you enjoy your run to the coast later on?
