Elms

Only had it a week and a bit but dropped mine off for an insp 2 at elms today. Not been before. Thought the whole set up is impressive and was good to meet Gareth. Nice drove from London to Camborne too...

The SB and SG cars they've got on show are a nice touch, first thing you see when you walk in. Leather steering wheel is certainly one way to avoid bobbling!

Mine was there for a week or so, collected on Friday.

3 dealers local to me had in turn disappointed me, misdiagnosing and worse; Elms was a 100% positive experience.

Vanos noise confirmed and replaced (local dealer charged me to run vanos rest and then informed me it was fine)

Head gasket replaced. Had failed between 1&2 and also 5&6. Missed by other dealers.

Throttle flap potentiometer replaced. Missed by other dealers despite me questioning apparent random opening/closing.

Car is under full comp warranty, so rather nice to have everything fixed.

Car is running very sweetly now.

Pretty sure my CSL will never go anywhere else now.

I was there in the afternoon...peered through the window at yours being worked on by Gareth.

I'll be picking mine up on Saturday so might see Billy walking home

if we're there at the same time and you want a lift to Cambridge let me know!

Got the call from Emma mine ready to be picked up after 14:00 tomorrow when subframe fill should be dry, and having brake fluid replaced along with Traction control sensor that went faulty from carpark to workshop.
