I take it that Simon from JGM will be looking at it if your going on a Wednesday? I spoke to him yesterday for the 1st time and have to say he really seems like a nice guy, took the time to explain things to me so think your car will be in good hands with him mate.

Default Happy times!
Big big props to Stuart from ESMS he took my car away this morning to do an oil change, cambelt and water pump (sorting out the leak at the same time), and also sorted my boosting issue all in one day, the boosting problem turned out to be that the intercooler had worked its way loose causing a small gap on the front silicone pipe, now all tightened up properly I have the car I purchased back. So I'm a very happy boy again.

Big thanks again to Stuart, really nice guy and certainly knows what he's on about
