richardmcfarlane Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 Hi All, Help, please! Does anyone know of a garage in the South East that is reliably able to change a cam belt on a 1992 Talbot Express 2.5D? The person who did it five years ago has retired, and my present garage, although okay for fixing the problems that can arise from annual MOT, does not feel able to replace the cam belt. I am based in Croydon but am prepared to travel further if necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keithl Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 Hi Richard, It's slightly outside your chosen area but Dave Newell LVS in Telford specialises in older MH's and offers base vehicle servicing. Maybe take a trip to Telford and leave your MH with him for a day? He used to be a contributor on this forum in the past. https://www.davenewell.co.uk/motorhome-campervan-servicing Keith.

rayc Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 If you fancy a break in Dorset I can recommend Hillmans in Corfe Mullen near Poole in Dorset https://www.hillmansmotorservices.co.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebishbus Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 Another recommendation for Dave Newell. He does a good job at a sensible price . I think you will have to leave the van with him though. Brian B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david lloyd Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 There is a decent campsite virtually opposite the small commercial estate that Dave Newell’s workshop is based at. He did some work for me once that needed the van leaving all day but his wife drove us over to the open air museum at Blists Hill (I think they gave us complimentary tickets but can’t be sure) which is a great place to spend the day. Then collected us to go back for the van. The campsite is Severn Gorge Site. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
