So after over a year of threatening to take the DC5 to TGM, the day finally arrived yesterday! (Thanks to a ride in Dotty's DC5 to give me the kick I needed to get this done!) Unfortunately, due to work commitments, the long-haired-admiral is doing the dropping off and collecting do I don't get to see the facilities. Nevertheless excitement is high! VTEC service, correction of the faulty speedo converter (bouncing around in and near VTEC), fitting and mapping a K100 and finally an MOT.
Having had the Mrs drop the car off Monday afternoon I get a very helpful phone call from the guys, as they went to do the VTEC service they have discovered that two of the engine mounts have snapped! Besides the massive cost implications I am grateful it hasn't dropped out when driving! Have opted for a stiffening up on the front mount, as was recommended, and an extra slap will be added to an already high bill!
Anyway I thought a quick thread about this was in order as I am rather excited! Updates will follow and I can't wait to have a drive this weekend!
