Firstly has anyone heard how Rick is? Any sign of him returning to the fold?

Secondly it's service time again, my 5th year service from Rick was £390 all in, and the 6th isn't a big one either is it?

I've had a couple of prices in but they're nearly double than last year.

So what is extra on this service? and can anyone recommend someone in Northants?

TIA

If you look in Grants book the service details are in there including the time reqd.

£800 sounds about right to me.

I wonder why so much more when the quoted times are only an hour extra for a 60k service according to astonmartintechinfo.com?:

Thanks for that, which explains the extra 1.15 hours, am surprised at at an extra £400 quid though...
