Hi everyone.

I've got what was once a lovely Westfield MegaS2000 but due to some personal circumstances, it's been SORNED and just sat in a (clean, dry, but not climate controlled) garage for about five years now, literally not having been touched once.

I'm coming back out of the the situation I was in, and would love to get the car back on the road. I'm not in a position to do much work on the vehicle myself, although I can blow the tires up enough to help roll/winch it onto a low-loader. Vehicle was running fine when it was SORNed.

I imagine the vehicle will need tank draining, all fluids replacing, new tyres, new battery, new air filter. Pads and discs probably OK, but maybe get changed anyway as I think they are about 8 years old now. Basically a bloody good service. And then of course an MOT.

Does that feel like basically the right scope of work? Assuming no nasty surprises of course.

Can anyone recommend a good garage (or individual) in or around the Gloucestershire area to get that work done? Obviously don't mind driving somewhere else for the MOT.

I see that Westfield themselves have gone under since I was a customer - what's the reputation of the new chaps in Bicester like for work such as this?

Really grateful for any replies! :-)

Si

Thanks! Will get the plugs replaced on principle, and ask whoever does the work to check the belts
