    Where to service the Willy?

    Just want a general service done to the Willy as i'm too lazy to go out in the cold and do it myself...

    Can anyone suggest a decent place in the Surrey/Croydon area?

    Cheers
    Ian

    WHAT...you lazy git!!

    New oil and filter using engine flush before hand
    New fuel filter
    New air filter (or clean and re-spray your uprated one)
    New spark plugs
    Check coolant,brake and PAS fluid levels
    Check brakes for thickness
    Check windscreen wipers

    Other jobs recommended

    Injector clean
    New dizzy and rotor arm

    All done well within a day....nothing like getting out in the cold and doing these jobs..then coming inside and getting a hot shower before going down the pub for a few, knowing your car is all sorted for a few months!!

    My mate builds engines for a reputable company says its best not to use an engine flush and it can dislodge all kinds of nasty shit that can **** the engine up.

    My valver is getting constant oil changes anyway the rate at which it burns off lol.

    See ya

    Usually have to change the coolant aswell because the oil filter is a bitch to get to without removing the rad

    Has just lives round the corner from me, but I didn't know his old man done it as full time occupation?

    I buy all the parts myself and get a local garage to do all the work for me. Charge £100 for a full service, and I get this done every 5k. They also do an engine flush every service and never had a problem yet...
