    RS2 Cambelt change Kent/Sussex

    Hi all,

    Would anyone be able to recommend a garage in the Kent/Sussex area to change out the timing & aux belts/water pump etc on my RS2?

    Many thanks in anticipation.

      Thanks jubjub but after my previous shocking experience there I doubt I'll be back, fitted 2 new wishbones to my car without my prior approval, left my lower ball joints loose (I discovered this on my way around the M25 with my then 3 month old daughter in the car (apparently, this "occassionally happens")), failed to reconnect the aircon drain hose under the dash after removing the ECU so the passenger side of the car filled up with water, didn't bother to tighten the nuts on the washer jets whilst the bumper was off and to top it off they charge like a wounded bull.

              One and probably only visit. I barely got an apology from Kim, disappointing given the final bill was in excess of £3500, considering these guys regard themselves to be absolute experts, to have Kim's adolescent son centring (or not) the steering wheel when the car car was being tracked for the second time on a Friday evening (after I'd had to re-troque the lower ball join nuts on the hard shoulder of the M25 the week before), I had to drive 125 miles out of my way! Honestly, I tightened the nuts up (on the hard shoulder), drove 500 miles before taking it back to them to re-track and they had to put a 600mm bar on them to get them undone again. There is no way that they "came undone".
