Cambelt at 18K

I thought that I would treat myself to a new cam belt.
The clock might only have 18K on it but it is fast approaching its
5th birthday. Prevention is cheaper than cure.
Even cheaper when avoiding AR dealers.

Cam belt + all the trimmings
Oil filter and new oil
Check & top all fluids
Roadtest
£317.60 inc

Dave Newby. Bikes, cars, vans. He fixes the lot.

Bit too far for me!

(maybe it's worth having a list of possible independents from personal
experience/recommendations - perhaps in the form of a FAQ link?)

My ex tame mechanic in Markyate is brilliant with 75s, on account of him
being a former GTV-6 owner.

I was kind of assuming she lived somewhere near you, so thought
Lincolnshire might have been a bit far anyway.
