Default Maintenance Rover 75 cdti

Hi

I'm looking for a good service point nearby Milton Keynes or Luton.
Partly working in Belgium and UK, have a LHD car.
Serviced until now in Belgium.
Was always well done but changing the clutch at 180.000 km was a start for problems.
First there was no resistance in the cluth pedal. After venting 3 times this seems to be solved.
But now in first and second gear the car seems to dribble, is pulling away with shocks.
Mileage is now about 230.000 km and I want a decent solution for at least 100.000km.

So if somebody knows a good, honest and affordable car repair business in the surrounding of MK or Luton please let me know...

Thanks

ok, thanks found it with google.

There's was also a guy at the north of Liverpool who is selling an updated version of the slave and master, the flight wheel and disc.
Does anybody have some experience with that?
Does it last longer?

I know its a fair way to drive, but if you want your car to have a first class service and be advised about any of its shortcomings, you should get in touch with LATES who is a member on here and services a good many peoples cars from both Holland and Belgium. They usually book in when they are coming over on holiday and get them serviced. You could not do any better,and you can watch them do their stuff, but you need chocolate biscuits as a sideline. lol
