My good old S80 "Silver Plodder" has been away now fer just over a week at Brian's (Jumpleads in St Annes) in that time She has had...

New Cam Belt
New Pre-Tensioner
New Pulley
New Aux Belt
New Bottom Pulley
New Pre-Tensioner (Aux belt side)
New (Re-Con) Alternator
New (Re-Con) Headlight Switch Unit
New (Re-Con ABS Pump
New (Re-Con) ABS ECU Unit
New N/S ABS Sensor
New O/S ABS Sensor

I rang Bri today to see how things were going & he tells me she'll be ready to collect either tomoz or Friday & Then we got onto the "Sticky" subject of HOW MUCH !!!!

To say I fell on the floor when he told me is an understatement I was panting fer breath, the sweat was rolling off me & my Glasses had steamed up !!!!!!

His EXACT words were..... "Keith We've bin mates for a long long time You've helped me with my Garage Heating & Hot Water MANY MANY times so ..........

Lets call it £250 fer Cash shall we" ......

I LOVE THE BONES OF THAT MAN I REALLY REALLY DO !!!!!

Nice one Keith,

Must be something to do with Brian's but he sounds like a legend!

It always helps when you've got a good mate in the know and especially one that can keep the cost down for you. What a nice bloke.

Just wish he was my local garage.

Great result, Keith...pleased for you.
Good mates are invaluable....and it works so well when everything is reciprocated.
