Specialists in Essex ?
I have now determined that I need to have the ATF replaced in my Dads 75 auto due to clunky changes, can anyone recommend anyone in the south east to carry the work out or should I drive to Lates ? I am in Benfleet (near Southend for those unfamiliar),
Thanks Darren |

Check out the xpart link and use the find service centres link. Once you have found one give that centre a call and ask to speak to their mgr specialist, i see you have been given an idea about the job in your other thread so question the teccy on things such as warming the fluid up before refilling.
That should give you an idea as to if hes goinvto be any good. Broom brothers in dagenham seem to know their stuff. Their resident specialist (peter i think) oens 2 75's they do seem a tad expensive. Ive not had work done there but had health check done and i get a feel that they would cope with any job i needed doing. |

I have used Broome Bros in dagenham. Yes they are tad expensive but there work is good.
Or Try British Legends in Southend, check out their website. Steve Tyler is the guvnor. Or Check out Mike Stafford from MJS who is totally mobile. mjsautoand.co.ukmarine He looks after my 2 ZT's. Or Les Pauls in Woodford but they are expensive.

Good luck mate. My car was probably still there when you dropped it off, cos I'm skiing at the mo.

Hi Jim, mine it turns out has a failed gearbox support bush underneath - the engine is jumping about quite violently when selecting drive and when shifting gears ! Getting the fluid done as a precaution at the same time mind !
Happy holidays! Darren |
