My tits are not sugary (but 'tis the weekend later - who knows?) p.s. - airlines. T'missus just got a refund from EasyJet for flights on the weekend of lockdown itself. Notification of refund was about four weeks ago and the money just turned up on credit card. She has a Ryanair out and BA return to Norway still slated for late August so waiting to see if either airline cancels.

Stinkwheel Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 Yes, BL are in Welwyn. A bit far up to bring my CX, but if there's nobody else available to do CX jobs, then it would have to be them. Brodie is nearer to me but I was dissuaded by their considerable reluctance to book the CX in.Brodie’s have not had a good reputation since the late lamented Andrew Brodie sold it and went off to play with an EE lightning. I could be wrong, but I fear they will have been the ones who cocked up the engine rebuild on the SM mentioned above and I also fear the reason they don’t want to book in your CX is that they no longer have anyone there familiar with them.

Just as well I found Garage Dubois-Loizou. They are easier to get to as well. stonedagain and Stinkwheel 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anonymous user Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 I did think when he was talking about a retired Wing Commander that it might be an Austin Allegro Equipe Automatic, but then I remembered that Douglas Bader died quite a while ago. motorpunk, BeEP and Stevebrookman 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They rebuilt the engine on my friends Sm, then he told me they ( he’s a Citroen and 2cv specialist) took it apart and did it properly. I have driven in it, and it is fabulous and terrifying at the same time. See profile pic.. Stuart ager I think runs Brodie’s now. The Sm is for sale -I can put interested buyers in touch if needed.
