The inside of Chris's rocker box


Today Chris came in for a timing belt, quite an occasion if you know Chris! Have we convinced him that preventative maintenance is the way forward???? Justin is still bouncing after his "spa break" and is trying to convince us that every one should go on one but I think he is going to have a hard time convincing Andy to sit in a sweaty wooden box with him.

How low can you go?

Only me and Justin in and a garage full of cars to fix, the only thing you can do is smile and crack on!

Volvo Volvo

Today Andy has mostly been fixing volvos! He has been grumbling as he would rather be playing on his motorbike but he has had the largest ham sandwich you have seen in your life, followed by more cake.

Frank has been extracting bent valves from a van but is itching to get back onto the MG as he is really getting somewhere with the crazy 40 year old wiring.

Justin is off on his holidays which will probably incur a scrabbler bike injury and confine him to the office for the next fortnight where he can do the filing until he recovers.

I have been beavering away in the office as normal, thrashing out the latest articles to get off to the mags and carefully avoiding the filing in case Justin hurts his foot again..........

NEW ECU MAPPING SERVICE!

Well it has been a fairly normal day today, broke cars coming in, fixed cars going out but we are also preparing to launch our new ECU mapping service which is very exciting!

Kicking off on Saturday we will be offering ECU mapping that comes with a guarantee! Economy mapping services are widely available and we have avoided the "cheap" end, instead we are going for an established, national company with fully technical back up and support. The deal was sealed today and we go live this weekend. If you are after economy or performance, we have a tweak for you!

As for the workshop, Justin's bespoke ordered cam shafts have arrived from Amsterdam and we are well on the way to completing this massive engine job, Frank has had a rather cold start at college today as their heating broke down and Andy has been updating the equipment for the storage cars, checking their batteries and doing their Autumn adjustments.
