Default T4

Who is the nearest T4 op to Swindon Wilts? as I think its about time our cars had a checkup. I don't know if any of the Ex rover dealers in the area have any decent people to operate one or if they still have a T4.

I always had good service from http://www.aewilcox.co.uk/AEWILCOXAbout2015.htm and they aren't too far from you.

Phil is your nearest operator on here, I am sure you will get a better service from Phil than at a garage.

I'm unclear how a Citroen main dealer will be able to provide an intelligent and experienced deep T4 analysis such as the OP needs. I doubt that Citroen is training their technicians to use advanced diagnostics for cars that have been out of production for over a decade.

If one needs such a T4 analysis, one needs a competent operator who is using/ perfecting their analytical/diagnostic skills daily.

If you hadn't already noticed, AE Wilcox were a very reputable MG Rover dealer for many years & I'm sure they still have a T4 & the knowledge to operate it.

With regards to perfecting their analytical/diagnostic skills daily, they will be perfecting this on a daily basis I'm sure, just not all on MG Rover but bear in mind how long they were a MG Rover dealer for.

They definitely have a T4 and the knowledge to put it to good use

I repaired their T4 about 18 months back

Totally agree with that, I'd have no hesitation in recommending Phil.
