Well I'm not sure about my Italian but I've just returned from Emblem in Poole who were replacing my clutch pedal bush and......what a great place!!! Very warm welcome, nice chat, nothing too much trouble. Bit like seeing an old friend. Then a vip walk around the cars- fanastic. Myles called me over to show me under my car and point out that as well as the bush, the slave cylinder rod was maladjusted and the associated spring retaining clip broken. All were replaced adjusted and bled. Also, believe it or not, the n/s turbo waste gate was seized. It's a small lever with a bolt nut and circlip which were siezed leaving valve slightly open as I understand it *He freed it after judicious moving and spent time with me going over the whole car underneath. All in laymans terms and easy to understand. After this he regassed the aircon and cleaned the engine and bay which I specifically asked for.*
All the guys there like Myles Tim and Martin etc were fantastic. I even got several coffees and a few chocolate eggs!
MAKE NO MISTAKE these guys are the best. Why? Because they know their stuff, involve you in the work personally and are very much "people" people. Most significant is that they engender trust....something my local main dealer struggles with having not returned two recent calls!*
Emblem's charges are very reasonable.... now I know why people rave about them. And if you want a detailing or valet service, well the work I've seen speaks for itself.*
Please everyone don't hesitate to call them or drop in. You won't regret it. Better to travel even a hundred or so miles to them rather than be shafted elsewhere. Btw I have absolutely no connection with them in case you wondered.
Oh and yes I am ecstatic with the way the 3200 now drives! Brilliant!! I was looking forward to listening to music driving back but most of the time I preferred my own V8 soundtrack! Gear selection is smoother, aircon ice cold (it was a really hot day actually!) and turbo kick seems more pronounced. There's something satisfying about knowing your engine is sparkly under the bonnet as well. Sad but true.
Well done Emblem!
