Ok, not strictly bike chat, but jen needs her ka servicing and its developed a steering problem that needs looking at urgently? Can anyone recommend somewhere decent, reliable, honest and reasonable? Not words usually associated with garages I know! Lol

Thanks

If you possibly have no joy, i use Cridge Autos in Wootton Basset for car and sometimes bike, Paul is an engineer and always goes the extra mile, brilliant mechanic and a sound bloke. Also does bike MOT's if anyone is interested, and as a biker he isn't 'anal'.

could have done a "servicing course" on this at my place.
if you do it yourself, mind out as the KA has tapered seat spark plugs that become corroded into the head, and are a right bugger to get out...................

if you want to do this yourself, give me a shout, i also have trade discounts at certain places.....

im also an ex ford mech.

I know it is not Swindon but either Bridge garage in WB or ABC in WB, others than that my neighbour works at Audi

Update - took it to advanced cars. They were great. Fixed the steering good as new. Have since part ex'd the car against a 206 quicksilver though as it has a load of other things just waiting to go wrong.... You can just sense it's not right when driving it.

Thanks for the advice all!
