Whoops!!!
Organised a visit to AVP today for a service and cambelt change (so far so good).
Ben had me in for next week after I got up early and drove 100miles (1.35hours) to be there
He couldn't get the bits so had up on the ramps for a check - not to bad:
Rear bushes for the anti-roll bar will need replacing in the next year or so.
Minor leak from the rear diff (level checked and OK) and also a leak from the front gearbox/engine but again minor.
Lower wishbone balljoint shot (not noticed from the the driving it!) and disks not to good but the pads are fairly new so he suggested leaving for a while.
Diagnostic showed just a fuel/air issue and spark plug issue and that was it.
Waiting for an email from him (which he reckoned I would get before I get home) that would outline what needs to be done and also the cost
Ben is a very nice chap (comes across as honest and very knowledgeable).
Fingers crossed for next Saturday
