Any mechanics in Devon or SW?
 
Hello again!

is there any mechanics recommended in the SW or in Devon?
I need to do the ABS rings and front discs, and although I could manage the discs myself it would make sense to do all at once. Also, given the price of CV joints I think I would prefer getting them changed as opposed to just changing the reluctor ring...

So, if anyone knows anyone then please let me know!

Thanks!

:)

Definetly makes sense to do the CV's at the same time. Pretty simple jobs to do yourself, there is a great how-to on .org http://forums.mg-rover.org/showthread.php?t=433852

Hey Pompski! Yeah, thanks for the link - I had already seen this how to which is why I know I'm not keen to do this myself!! I don't mind getting my hands dirty but I hate starting a job, getting half way through wishing I hadn't! How long, roughly, would you expect this to take a good mechanic?

I'd allow 1.5 hours a side to do the job properly provided everything comes apart !!

Well, I did CV joints yesterday, with a little help from the father in law! asn't too bad actually - will be testing today! I did it without taking the discs off but now know the discs will need to be done next! At least the parts are pretty cheap for these cars!!
