Even though your in Notts might still be worth considering Del. The drive to kent and a B&B for the night would probably still be cheaper then giving it to Honda.

Welcome aboard BTW

cheers

Thanks guys
but unfortunatly due to work commitments getting down to kent is very difficult. A shame really as i have read good reports on the forum about del, although if i can't get it done locally i may have to have a serious think about a siccy!!!

Wotcha Chief

Castleford Honda did my 16,000 at the start of the summer for a mere Â£220 if my mind servers me well (There has to be a first for that sometime). Padgetts in Batley wanted Â£480!!!! for the same work.

Hi all i got my 16000 service done by a mobile guy Â£200 and i watched him and also went to the local honda dealer to get a shim so not not every 1 is like Richard turpin.

EGG,

good for you mate cos there ain't many people out there who do what they are supposed to do without chargin ya for stuff that ain't done. Or cutting corners.

A good thing to do when ya go to a dealer is ask if you can watch the service cos ya interested.
