Local mechanic info needed please....

Post by Wedgiebaby »

Mornin,
My poor old Wedgie went bang on the way home from the pet shop yesterday. Steam was pouring out of the rear oassenger side vent and wheel arch. I was rescued by a nice RAC man called Andrew, who filled her up with water and escorted me safely home. He thinks it is hopefully just a head gasket, but may be a crack :( Obviously I am not driving her until she has been checked and sorted, so I need to find a good, reliable and reasonable mechanic locally, who knows about these old buses. I live on the outskirts of Ashford, Kent. Someone said theres a guy near Tenterden that is good but I couldnt find anything on google. Can anyone help please? Thanx, Di.
