Does anyone know if there are any independent specialists near Norwich to carry out a PPI?

Alternatively is there a mobile guy who can carry one out at location?

I've done a search but can't find any around without getting the car transported over 100 miles.

Thanks

Doesn't look like you can get much better than 100 miles each way from Norwich... I hear good things about Christian Lewis Performance

Strange question, as I have been looking for the same. Which car are you looking at Kincath? I couldn't find anywhere near Norwich, the best is McGrath in Kimpton, Herts which is about 70 miles away. They will do a PPI but only on their premises. Christian Lewis are the same, you need to get the car there.

If you want a guy to go and see the car, then I was recommended Mark Wibberley at http://www.morethanpolish.com. You can get him on 01780 749449. However, I'm not sure whether they will be able to do the same OBD check.

Grimaldi in Halstead is probably nearest indy. Main dealers at Colchester and Peterborough, but I don't know if they'll do a ppi. Nobody mobile as far as I know. What car are you looking at?

I’m based in Norwich and unfortunately its slim pickings in this part of the world. The only option locally would be Stratton Motors. They are familar wirh the marque as they have a few customers who use them for servicing and recently crawled over my car when I was looking at one of their Vantages. Feel free to drop me a PM.

Get it booked into one of the Dealership's for an MOT.
They won't hold back if it needs brakes, bushes, wipers etc could be 40/50 pounds well spent.

From my experience of working for Dealers its all up selling and wipers can make a lot of money.

Just a thought, but have you spoken to Phil at PK Supercars near Edinburgh? I know he has a few 4200's for sale including a facelift.

Can't help but think that Martyn's car is the better buy. Similar money, but 20,000 less miles. Surely worth a call and test drive.
