Thanks again to the Guys at Pitstop Garage Sleaford.....

Monday saw Scarlett going into Pitstop garage in Sleaford for her yearly MOT Test. I had popped in to see them at quite short notice after Heron Volkswagen (my regular MOT people) failed to get back to me before the current certificate was expired.
Thankfully Chris and John and the other guys at the garage stepped in to save the day, and the result ?

Well, after a few "adjustments", Scarlett has a crisp new MOT.

Faults?
There were a few minor problems such as the wiper blades being rather tatty (replaced),the rear wheel bearings had slightly too much play (tightened), nearside headlamp assembly was loose and needed adjustment (fastened,adjusted) and the nearside alloy was slightly buckled ("Persuaded" back into shape!).

In addition to the MOT, they also carried out an oil and filter change and the whole lot (including labour,parts,tax etc) came to the rather agreeable sum of  £135!.

I would really like to say again just how much I appreciate the help that this local garage has given me over the last few years, and would advise anyone who lives in the Sleaford area to go to this establishment if you want good, honest and reliable service for reasonable money.

Cheers Guys :-)

Thanks to the guys at Pitstop .............again ! :-)


Yesterday saw me taking the Scirocco into Pitstop garage in Sleaford (one of my sponsors for S2M).The problem ,as I mentioned in an earlier post,was that the right hand wheel bearing had died a death after our little trip last year, and it has only taken me 11 months to get around to having it sorted :-0.Anyway, as usual the folk down at Pitstop did a great job and sorted it out along with another front suspension bush which was also a little the worse for wear.
Just wanted to say thanks for their continued support in keeping Scarlet going :-).Cheers guys !.
