NEW MEMBER - West Bromwich

[Bill Q148]

Hi All,

Just signed up to the forum and finding my way around the website.

Have owned a Westfield for about 3 years now, was in dry storage for last 2yrs.

During last year have started to take it out when the days are nice and enjoy it.

I have planned to keep it at present.

Do not have much knowledge and experience on this car but are willing to learn and listen to helpful advice.

I have done nothing to this car except turn the key and drive it.

Have Mot'd it today (no advisory's) 

 

Would appreciate if anyone could advise me of a good garage(s) that specialize in Westfields.

As I don't want to just take it into any local garage. 

Servicing, Parts and Maintenance really.

 

Not sure if there are members in the local area but would be great to meet up if there is a local meet.

Model I have is;

Ford 2.0

DOHC 16V

C20 XE

(I beleive this is called the RedTop)

 

Any help and advice appreciated.

 

many thanks 

Bill

Welcome Bill, it's not really advisable to publish your email address in an open forum, but if you are happy getting possible spam then ok. As far as pics go, as a trial member you are limited in what you can do and see on the forum. There are parts of it that currently you can't see. If you are able , I would suggest becoming a full member and then the whole forum is open to you, as well as posting as many pics as you want ( within reason).

It would be money well spent and a small cost when of running a westfield. A lot more people willing to help you out to.

Welcome, 

you’ve mention ford, DOHC and c20 Xe

the XE, red top is a Vauxhall engine, if it is a ford DOHC then it’s likely to be a Duratec or Zetec silver or black top. Though it could be something else. 
As others have said become a full member, most of the kit insurance companies provide a discount for club members which generally covers the cost.

you could also go along to a club meet, next week there is the Warwick area meet (Thursday) details should be posted soon, then there is the Black Country meet on 7th Aug. 
Re garages it kind of depends on what specifics you’re looking for.
