MRC for service and health checks or remaps and mods.... and about an hours drive from heathrow. Use tesco`s 99 at feltham tesco`s as its always fresh not ashford tesco`s

Super is the preffered choice but
IF you have to then it's ok to use normal (limits power slightly though)...
Expect to pay £500 plus for cambelt and all the ancillaries that need changing
I believe there is a guy who will come to you MDM technik I think, or the usual tuners.

Was that with everything changed ? Aux belt, water thermostat seal, coolant, tensioner, cambelt repair kit, water thermostat, water pump, lever, belt damper and is that including vat if so that is very good value

hatton cross lad are ya?. im down the road too, avus, tints...
i used MDM teknik too. bought my parts seperatley and got him to do the labour. make sure you change your thermostat too while your at it.
Or go MRC route, either way you wont go wrong.
ps: agree on using feltham tescos, much better then hayes tescos
