My gt3 is due for a B service in a few hundred miles what does everyone do with theres?
do it your self or take to a specialist? not taking it to LOUTS!

My last B servive cost £960. That did include however a cam belt change, (normally only on a 'C') recon water pump, front wheel bearing, new green stuff front pads, gear linkage jobby at the back & lots of other little jobs that i didnt notice until having the car back a few days. Its never felt better.

All done by Geoff at Esprit Engineering near Sailsbury. Top work & at least half the price of the main dealer. ( which i live a mile away from!) As we speak hes got the car for a 'C' servive, no cam belt this time so im not expecting a huge bill. If your not in a rush to get the car back, he takes about a week because hes got other stuff on then i can highly recommend him.

For whats done theres a list in the log book just before the service history. Hope that helps.

Just got it back from Esprit Engineering for its 'C' service, all the normal bits serviced, no cam belt though, new chargecooler pump, rear suspension bushes, air con charged, fault with the heater fixed, all in all £750. Dam good value.
