Good Garage Near Gloucester

[ianreeves]

[]Hello and Merry Xmas All ![]

I am new to the forum, and have a quick question.. I am in the process of putting a new engine in my 944, I have no problem with that.... But...... I am looking for a garage no so far away where I can take it when finished and get the belts etc correctly tensioned. Also would be good to use for services later !

Any ideas or recomendations

Many Thanks


Ian

Ian - I'm not on Andrew's payroll, but would recommend the hike to Brackley. I'm over a hundred miles away myself, but had my car serviced there a couple of weeks back and we (me and the 944T) were both treated excellently.

Don't forget to ask about the Holden Monaro courtesy car option...[]

You keeping the SEAT now then, Paul? Diesel is painfully trendy just now []

Hi Ian, If you are proficient enough to install a new engine then you can tension the belts easily as long as you have the tensioning tool. Club members can borrow the official Porsche tensioing tool from Club Office.

However there are some aftermarket tools on the market made by Arnnworx and Krikit:

Well, after seeing you head to the dark side, I knew what I had to do!

Long story, but we're gonna sell Karen's first - less prone to timewasters as it's standard. Also gives us the flexibility of having the towbar on mine, as we'll probably need to shift some heavy stuff into storage assuming the Oz move goes ahead.

Steve Bull in Devises has a good reputation, or if you prefer to travel north then Porscheshop in Halesowen.
