JULES - He does exactly what it says on the tin

MBZ560 · 20th May 2010, 16:57

Having discovered the cooling fan on my wife’s Rover 75 was no longer operating. “ Is it supposed to have steam coming out of the engine?” I set about getting a replacement fitted.

After many calls to so called local Rover specialists, none of which inspired any great confidence. I gave my local XPart garage a call. They quoted £350 plus VAT for the fan without fitting. That’s when I decided to give Jules a call. And I’m so glad I did.

Despite having to undertake a 500 mile round trip. It was well worth the visit. What a thoroughly nice chap he is. Knowledge second to none and fastidious about every detail. He even adjusted the rear door as he noticed it was slightly out of line. All the checks he promised completed. And all for £359.

Finally. How many service centres are set in such a fantastic location. Local scenery is amazing.

So, if you have a problem that Jules can help you with, give him a ring and pay him a visit. You won’t be disappointed.

It is Jules in the Pictures and not such a old man,
doesn't smoke, but wouldn't say no to a hand drawn ale or two.

...amd Yes a Great bloke to know or be associated with,
with a great mind in many matters from Musical to Engineering.

Thomas · 20th May 2010, 21:44

wow such a mythical creature you couldnt even see his face !

Hard to get him to part with biccies though innit John!

There is a much better pic of him on another thread somewhere, and he has his biscuit tin openly on display!

After all that hard work he did for you, did you really have to try and run him over, and take the last picture of the crime in action!!

Jules · 20th May 2010, 22:05

Naa it was time for my afternoon Kip !
Nice to meet you Richard and if anyone's in his neck of the woods check out his Restaurant/s, they sound yummy (forgot to ask the Name of them)

I found the pic!

Left to right-- Lil dog exiting left front is "Muppet" .. Tother end of his lead is myself, then the infamous Jules not looking too pleased to have his biscuits put at risk, and on the right, actually daring to eat a biscuit! is John dot Com..

It's worth mentioning that I never actually got to eat a biscuit!!

The tin was placed carefully in the boot of my car,

But sadly my conscience got the better of me and i gave it back to Jules as I was leaving...

Pic taken during a social meeting, but Jules did swap steering wheels for John, who, it would seem, sold his old one far too cheaply.. heh heh..
