pants Posted August 14, 2003 Share Posted August 14, 2003 These cars are so simple to work on you dont need a good garage!! buy a set of spanners and a hammer. I find part of the enjoyment of owning a westi is working out whats wrong, what caused it and how to put it right. Imagine doing that with a real sports car. Just thrash it till it breaks and then learn how to fix it. This way you end up looking forward to something going wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Keene Posted August 15, 2003 Share Posted August 15, 2003 Any advice on a good garage / mechanic in the Peterboro / Stamford area No help on the garage / mechanic, there are very few places in Peterborough I trust with the tin-top, even less for the Westfield. Do you fancy becoming an AO and reviving the Cambs Area? Nobody else has volunteered and I quit over a year ago... PS: Where abouts in Peterborough are you. I live in Deeping, and there are a couple of others kicking around. Liam where are you ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
