Does anyone know of a garage in the Penzance area which can reliably service and MOT a Caterham? My nearest dealer is Williams at Bristol which is an eight hour round trip and over 400 miles worn off my Avon's.

Any oily rag can service and MOT a Caterham. A Ford Garage would find a Sigma or Duratec engined Caterham the simplest thing they’ve ever worked on (aside from possibly gearbox oil).

Only suspension setup requires specific knowledge.

Good points. The car is new to me so I'm probably still being a bit precious about it!

Not an answer to your question but do you have a "Beaulieu" sticker on your Caterham ? If so, I spotted you this afternoon!

It's also very easily done yourself...

Not me, Getragdogleg. I wasn't out and about today.

For anything niche and a bit interesting I always recommend RK engineering in St Agnes. Bit of a jaunt from Penzance but it’s run by very smart guys who are honest and reliable.

Thanks for that. It's a lot closer than Bristol. Sorry I didn't reply sooner, but the forum won't let me post in the morning!
