Hi all, My inlet manifold has split (Drivers side) and confirmed by OFG Lincoln (Great help) but they can’t book me in for a couple of weeks.
I’m in Lincoln until the 26th Aug and am looking for a recommendation for either a garage or a mobile mechanic who may be able to sort this before my 250 mile drive home next week.
Thanks in advance D1 3Door (White) Long gone

Many thanks
Wanted to avoid main dealers if possible so will try the guys in Louth tomorrow but worst case is gentle drive home and try local people in Somerset. D1 3Door (White) Long gone

Rimmer Bros, Bracebridge Heath, Lincs for your spares, usually 10% off. It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

Thanks. I spotted them right next door to OFG but don’t have tools here with me or the time at present.
If I find someone to do it I can buy the parts there.

Well I can’t say enough good things about FamousFour at Louth (www.famousfour.co.uk) 
Thanks Riverblanche
I rang them last Thursday morning and they were looking at September to book me in at the earliest.
When I explained to Dave the Workshop Manager that I had to travel back from Lincoln to Somerset a week later he asked me how long I could leave it with them as they could try and fit it in over the week.
I went straight over to them and they loaned me a Freelander whilst the disco was being repaired and hoped to have it ready for next Wednesday.
Imagine my shock when they called on Friday morning (less than 24 hours after drop off) to tell me it was all ready.
He had shuffled some jobs around to get it done. Absolutely fantastic service - and very reasonable pricing too. D1 3Door (White) Long gone
