Hi just brought a megablade and new to the world of westfields after being a lotus man for 11 plus years and owning first two generations of Elise's but wanted something a bit more raw than the Elise as became bored ( I know that sound stupid but just became used to the Elise and it wasn't giving me the wow factor anymore) what can I say what a car the megablade is and only driven it once ( yesterday) is exactly what I was after it's a 2008 plate with just over 2600 miles. Not mechanically minded if to be honest and if their is anyone local to me wouldn't mind a few pointers as to what to look out for and check. I'm based in Sedgley not far from Westfield who I will probably use for service unless there are any better in my area. Brought car from Andrew at Toybox specialist cars. Thanks in advance for replies

Thanks so much only brought it last Thursday and with one thing or other got to give it a blast yesterday very raw and is exactly what I wanted although I know BEC aren't everyone's cup of tea. Would love someone to cast an expert eye over it and give me some pointers as not an expert with these cars cheers

ah not far from my mom and dad in queens road. toybox are a well regarded company to buy from so youll not go far wrong

[J10pep]

Yes will be interested in the meets are they always at Dudley arms as only down road from me? If you don't service/ repair your own cards is their anyone in the area recommended apart from Westfield ( are they expensive ), will try and put a few pics on the weekend if I get time

[BenD]

Yep always the 1st Sunday in the month unless otherwise posted on here. I can't comment on Westfields pricing as I've never used them as I do my own servicing. I can't recommend any garages either

Ok thanks suppose alot of people do do their own servicing to be honest but just a bit unsure on schedules for service on Bec's as I know they have higher stresses on components etc and could do with a gear indicator fitted at some point
