Hi guys
Picking up my fd tomorrow after work, cant wait, feel like a kid at christmas. Anyways was wondering if anyone on here is from the yorkshire area or knows of any DECENT garages that service rotary engines in the area. I live in east yorkshire but with good access to the north, south and west. Just dont fancy driving to london everytime I want a service LOL
Appreciate the help fellas.
Matt

WGT is nearer as lindop is in queensferry north wales.
Hiya Madonminis,
Welcome, I\'m near Wakefield and travel to WGT, its only 1.5 hours with reasonable weekend traffic. Pip is a great source of advice and services.
Where are you, not many of us in this area.
Chris
Yep, I\'m in Lincolnshire but take mine to WGT. :)
If your just after servicing then DIY the RX is just like any other car or if you really need a garage to do it any local can do the plugs, filters & oil.

General service can be done by a decent performance garage tbh, anything to do with the actual running with or issues with the engine go to a specialist :Giggle
Both my old rx\'s were services locally by the mechanic who specialises in Evo\'s - no issues.
DIY stuff you\'re best doing yourself, if you use a good garage make sure they know what they\'re dealing with and don\'t let them touch it if they\'re unsure.
I\'m in Sheffield but still drive all the way down to Carl Hayward in Newbury :)
yeah - same here...do the DIY stuff (oil, filter, plugs etc) myself. Take her over to Pip at WGT for the hard stuff.
I\'m in Hull and i\'ll be taking her over to get MOT\'d in a few weeks when I get back from Ibiza...feel free to head over with me if you fancy?? I still need to get it booked up but looking at middle of Oct? Only takes about an hour and a wee bit to get there (less if we leave early doors!! ;) )
Or buy the stuff and ask someone to help show you how to diy and then you are ok for the next time ??
this guy is good, he works from his home but knows his stuff. good prices too.
he`s in Lincoln.

Well if its simple enough i will do the job myself i think, and save the pennys for rebuild time ha ha

Matt
where do you think she gets her looks from ? :Tongue1
im in edinburgh and use wgt,
i dont think hes expensive tbh
i wont use any one else even to change the oil as last time i used a non rotory place who is realy realy good with jap cars (piston ones anyway) they said comp ect was fine but they just did it as you would a piston engine, and i had a snaped tip lol
pluss pip will pick up on things he sees thats not right and non specilists wont.
obviously oil + filters etc i just diy.
but yeah a vote for wgt here

WGT every time. Pip is such a nice guy, as well as being amazing with these cars. He\'ll take time to listen to the problems you have with a car and advise you accordingly, wouldn\'t go anywhere else with mine after using him.
