Offords service
Discussion
Got my Cerbi booked in for a service at the above garage tomorrow, and after reading a few threads I'm a little nervous!
Tried Sebring but mat was fully booked (helpful guy) the guy at Offords seem nice as well though, I know the whole 'cherry bomb' incident didn't do them any good, but some recent reviews seem to be good, I do all my own work normaly but need the stamp! I'm normaly in Scotland, but I'm seeing my parents in Peterborough, hence the rush as Dreadnought charge 500+ for a service!
If anyone recently has any good stuff please put it, if negative please mail me (due to the 'no name & shame' rules)
Cheers

well I got her back today with a list of stuff that needs doing (I consider that a good thing) although when I started her she was leaking coolant due to being over filled & scared me a little, they couldn't do an engine tune due to the link bars being too worn (is this normal?)
I know the history with the cherry bombs, but I think it's just that, history.
The guys were helpful, although I was a little dissapointed they did not tune her as that was my main problem, over all I'm happy with the service

If the coolant was changed during the service I think you will find the coolant reservoir may have been purpously overfilled to allow for the level dropping due to any air pockets trapped in the system venting overnight. Removes the risk of the 'customer' forgetting to check the level. The overfilling will not cause any damage & the system will find its own level.I know the history with the cherry bombs, but I think it's just that, history.

I pressume the link bars you are refering to are between the throttle bodies. If there is play in the links then they would not be able to balance them properly as the reading would be erratic.

Offords did a chassis repair and MoT on mine recently, there were a couple of very small niggles, but overall was a good experience including a courtesy car. I'd be happy to use them again.
Normally I use APM, and will continue to do so, but for the above work Offords were more convenient for me (they specialise in non-body off chassis repair).
