ta for the info guys,

dont want to be horrible but I went to Ideal recently for them to check my car and they couldnt find anything wrong with it and charged me and hours labour. Took it to another garage who recognise the car has a problem and are looking into it. Maybe ok for buying oil though. I got my oil from MJP Easter Auto on the net (Millers) and the oil filter was £6 from Noble's.

Other place for oil is Duncan at Hypertech in Bonnybridge (the one with the supercharged civic).

How did you get on Ormiboy??????

[ormiboy]

im prob going to get the oil from extreme motorsport in whitburn. They have suggested an engine flush and are going to charge next to nowt for it to get done so i think im going for it.

any one had a flush? i think they use stuff called forte???

cheers

I've had work done at Extreme, was really pleased with it. They serviced my car when I bought it, was more expensive than some but they done more than the other garages. They gave the car a good going over and checked it for me.

Hi Gordy - Chris at Linton was recommended by Squirrel and I've also read a lot of good things about him on the forums, they're also much closer to me than Extreme

On the subject of Extreme has anybody seen (heard) their Evo, it sounds gorgeous

[ormiboy]

ive seen the evo but not heard it run, they were just fitting a buddy club voltage condensor/stabillizer when i was last in.

sweet looking motor and no mistake.

be nice to find out how the got on with the buddy club unit?

[boobaru]

I seen them running it at Knockhill sounds superb never heard an Evo with such a smooth engine

totally smitten by it, you might have guessed that
