I've noticed that the mileometer in my van is a little under-exuberant, it records almost exactly 2/3rds of the real mileage (e.g. this weekends trip to scotland it recorded 120miles to stirling from Lancaster, actual mileage 177 miles)

Of course this is a bonus for insurance etc. however means that the 50,000 on the clock may be nearer 75,000 - and I'm overdue a 60,000 service by a little way.

Anyone know a good air-cooled specialist in the north west.

I have a 60,000 check-list (cam belt is top prioprity I guess, BUT I SHOULDN'T BECAUSE IT DOESN'T HAVE ONE AND I SHOULD HAVE REMEMBERED THAT BEFORE POSTING MY IDIOCY FOR THE WHOLE FORUMS TO SEE,) given that slip of the brain and obvious idiocy ANY advice welcome!

cam belt

good air-cooled specialist

Aircooled cam belt? Anyway there are four mechanics up this way Steve at Gasure (Chester), Simon at brickyard (hudddersfield) Stef at Manchester Aircooled and Martin at MSC in Barrow

Thanks for list of garages, and appologies for sounding like complete clueless tw*t for a second re: cam belt, no excuse is there?

MSC = Motor Service Centre, thanks loads for link/lead (was getting a blank from MSC Barrow, too many people with masters degrees now!)

So, what DOES need doing at 60k? Van has been regularly serviced so is it just annual, or time for a full check?
