andytommo Posted October 25, 2002 Author Share Posted October 25, 2002 Thanks dudes. l'Il telebone Caterham +get them to send me all the bits needed for 12,000 mile service. Do any of you guys service your own cars-or do you worry about the log book+service history? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V7 SLR Posted October 25, 2002 Share Posted October 25, 2002 I think you'll find a lot of people service their own, and the more people spend time in techtalk the more likely they are to upgrade their own as well as service... I'm a home servicer... ooer... Worcs L7 club joint AO.//Membership No. 4379//Azure Blue SLR No. 0077//Se7ens List Tours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
