Well I just had to let everyone know about another great service by Colin and Dave at MBS in Southampton.
I'd had some problems with leaking charge air on my 203 and after replacing various hoses myself it turned out to be the intercooler had a split in it that was getting progressively worse. Eventually on the way to them this morning the car went into limp home mode. Anyway, they'd ordered in the new intercooler, had the bumper off and installed the new one in next to no time. (In between guzzling biscuits and cakes I'd brought along!)
Whilst on the ramp Colin had a look at my front suspension to investigate a knocking sound and found a balljoint had had it on one of the suspension arms. A quick call to the local dealer and the replacement was collected and fitted. Knocking gone. Very pleased indeed!
Additionally they spotted a broken front spring and another worn balljoint which would need doing before the next MOT.
Thanks again Colin and Dave.
