Servicing my TF

[anthony]

Hello,

Can anyone reommend a good garage to get my new TF serviced with please (first service) ? What sort of price should I expect to pay?

Thanks,

Anthony.

Anthony,
Welcome to the forum.

It would help considerably if you told us where you are.

[anthony]

Adrian, thank you. Ah, erm, yes sorry about that, i'm in the Sevenoaks area.
Thanks,

Anthony.

Anthony,

Sevenoaks isn't to far from me, I'm in the Dartford area. The garage I use is called Apple Developments (www.appledevelopment.co.uk) It's run by two ex-Fairways Rover chaps who know they're stuff. It's based in Meopham (see map), I can certainly recommend them and I think David A can as well as he uses them.



Let me know if your interested, I can give you a few tips since it's right out in the sticks, quite tricky to find if you don't know the area.

[Adrian Clifford]

David, where were you with that answer, I waited to see who would advise Anthony first.

Emma, well done, but it took nearly an hour. You've also got your second star.

[Emma Jackman]

Yay! Just noticed the second star. I had to get in there before David with the garage recommendation! I've been out polishing the car, so can be be let off for taking so long with the reply?

[anthony]

Emma, thanks for the info, I'll give them a call. Are they really really out in the sticks? will they be difficult to get to? and hows about price...are they reasonable?

Cheers,

Anthony.

Oh and congratulations on the new star! ;D

Hi again,

If you can find the A227 aka Wrotham Road, you only need to take a road called Green Lane then take Camer Park Road and follow this around eventually you'll come to the garage. It's not too difficult, just drive carefully because I ride my horse around those lanes, as do many other people. ;D

Money-wise they're quite reasonable, I had a yearly service a few months back and they charged £153 including parts/fluids/labour.

HTH

[anthony]

Thanks for all the info.
Promise I'll drive carefully too. I love horses as well!

[Emma Jackman]

;D No probs Anthony. Will we see you at MGF10?

[anthony]

Emma, I'm not sure, when is it?.....have I missed it??.......where is it???......or was it?, depending on the answer to the second question.

[Emma Jackman]

OMG you haven't heard about MGF10?? Where have you been?! LOL. Seriously though MGF10 is the F event of the decade (literally) all the necessary information is on this MGF Register site, link here: www.mgcars.org.uk/runnymede-mgoc/mgpitfiles/sef/milestones/10th%20front.htm

Basically it the MGF's 10 birthday, and we're having a huge celebration at the Heritage Motor Centre in Gaydon, Warwickshire. It's on the 16th October, although there are a large number of us going up on the 15th.

By the way if you have an F/TF and we know you, it's compulsory!

If you can get a room at one of the hotels there, you're welcome to join us on our convoy on Saturday the 15th. Someone will be along shortly to let you know if any rooms are left *cough* Adrian *cough*

[Adrian Clifford]

Sorry Emma, some of us are in bed at 23.36, it won't happen again.

Anthony, if you read the threads, especially announcements, you will see there are two main hotels being used, the Holiday Inn Express is full and the Warwick Arms is probably, but is worth a call, I got a French couple in there on Thursday.

If you cannot get in there, let me know I have some B&B's in the area I can contact for you.

As you will see there is quite a large party on the Saturday evening, if you wish to join in and eat with us, just let me know, I will send you a copy of the menu for your order.

[anthony]

Adrian, Emma, thanks for all your help. Sounds like a really good event, Adrian do you have any those B&B's please? Thanks.

[Emma Jackman]

Anthony - Keep us updated as to whether you´ve booked in. If you´re going up on Saturday let me know and we can sort out a meeting so that you can drive up on the convoy. Don´t forget to pre-book for MGF10, I think the closing date for applications is the 8th Oct!

Adrian - Just to let you know, I won´t be at te Essex Roadsters this thurs, I´m in Spain and I won´t be back until Thursday evening.
