Also having the a service done on my RRS at 70k miles.

Thanks

I apologise indavnced if I'm irritating members by asking simple questions that I don't know but would really appreciate if a member would reply regarding the question above???


Thanks

Nice looking car, one bit of advice, lose the 22 inch wheels, the car will ride like a Range Rover on 20inch. Also lots of issues with 22inch, do a search on here.

Amgmaj, did you use j hill at ruddington. Keen to hear your thoughts.

Yes all done last friday all good, James has a lot of knowledge of these cars as he own one too, honest mechanic very rare these days.

Took it in for cam belt and full service dropped it off in the morning at 8.30am and it was ready around 3.00pm will defiantly use again in the future and recommend to others local.

Thanks great news as he is only 3-4 miles from me. Will give him a call and discuss my requirements.

Let James know I recommend him

Off to see James on Wednesday to discuss servicing etc. For mine. Will let you know how I get on. Sounds like a nice bloke over the phone.

@Bustanut hopefully you won't be disappointed

Like the colour of your car looks nice

Maybe we should set up a monthly meet and greet somewhere to talk RRS and swap notes...

I'm up for that if we can get few more local members to agree

@Bustanut did you go and see James in Ruddington?

Yes amgmaj, as you said. Spot on. Just discussed the maintenance going forward. He seemed quite happy to give advice and talked me through a couple of jobs I’d be happy doing myself. He’s also a VW nut so ended up talking about golf mk2 etc. I will be using him for servicing and will probably end up getting stuck in with him as he seems quite happy to let customers help with the work. I’m well up for that as I’m an engineer so always keen to learn how things work and will try most things myself.
Thanks for the head up on this.

No worries mate anytime, that's good he's willing to let you help in service and parts change as most garages don't like that sort of thing.

I had ticking noise coming from the front of my engine so went to see James today and he replaced my viscous fan with one he had at the garage a used viscous fan as we wanted to be sure that's the problem he done that for me and said drive the car over the weekend to see if noise has gone and I've made no payment yet...... A good man James is 🖒

Had my front and rear ARB bushes changed with after market orange polybushes and the RRS drives perfect without any knocks or clunks now, I hopefully thats me sorted for while touch wood
