Re: BB's TT
Cor! They all look nice BrianB. I’m in the process of replacing all discs, pads, flexis and fluid on mine. All my control arms don’t look as good as these. Did you get new or refurb control arms?

Re: New member & Mechanic recommendation needed
Hi, welcome along. Try looking up Car Mechanics magazine, they have a listing of recommended garages across the country. Mag also does a review of a local garage in most editions. Living in NW Cambridgeshire, I can’t give any recommendations, but can vouch for the authenticity of their reviews.

Again I’ve used Millers oil and Mahle filter, with 10% TTOC discount, good prices too from Opie Oils. I decided that as there was enough good weather coming up that it was t...
