So you went for the desiel conversion then how's that effecting the 0 - 60 ? If their is a TMS team at the Tuner GP next year you will be able to enter the Desiel class and only have to worry about a couple of Volvo's.

Booked my car in for coolant expansion tank to be replaced, (mine beginning to leak) a couple of weeks ago at Drive Bristol. Took it in wednesday this week for work to be carried out ready for national meet. took it in for 1200 as booked and told it should be ready by 6pm! wasn't to happy about it taking six hours but they agreed to call me as soon as it was ready. 1 hour later I get a call saying it was ready. great I thought, very quick for them, bearing in mind that my first service took 3 days , the second service 2 days (should have learnt my lesson !). When I arrived the car hadn't moved and I was then informed the parts had been ordered. I was fuming, I booked the car in specifically to have a job done and they didn't even order the bits. Mechanic there seems a decent bloke (James?) but everyone else lets them down, you can never get through to service department by phone and they never call back if you leave a message. Hopefully I will get it sorted before the 1st oct, avoid this place if possible.

I surprised they called to let you know the parts where on order, They normally wait until you arive at 17:30-18:00 before mentioning that the car has been sitting in the same place all day as they havent got the parts (Toomey of basildon)

Ive never had a problem getting through to the service department at drive bristol.... I usually book mine in for work, then call beforehand and specifically ask to speak to James (good bloke) to make sure the parts are in for the work to be done saying that you are bound to get a better response/service from a specialised company such as TMS/courtenay/plans...less management tiers to get things wrong and less arses talking to their elbows.... Steve, I once had a service reminder from drive...three months after they had serviced it
