Hi Pebbles. I must be quite close to you - Bosworth Rd off Chain Lane. Whereabouts are you <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

The curry nights not been sorted but i would imagine it'll be after Christmas now <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

What coop have you got <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> and Ice blue might sound very nice

<whisper> but they don't really do one in ice blue </whisper> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I thought they were champion.

Well, they weren't bad <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

My husband would like a chat with you sometime about the coops as we have always had fast cars but dont know much about the coops, I am very close to you in Bampton ave, clinkham wood, would like to know the best cheaper place to go for getting your car serviced other than fiat. My car is a bluey lilac cant remember the exact colour. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

uh oh, I was only being friendly like <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

they arent lilac <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> they are Portofino Azzure Blue....

Ie Porto Blue <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

at least you got a metallic which is a good sign <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Cheap parts are from Alternative Autos, servicing is Via Iceberg in brum, about an hour away i think from your maybe 1hr10mins <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> very good prices and super service <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Sorry Mark did i poach on ya turf <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

<img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

how much is a service with them, and do they have a web site

Depends on the service really <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

What type of service? 10k, 40k(ie all belts and tensioners and water pump maybe??) depends on what you want doing as a fair bit can be done on your drive <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Although they sometimes get a bit of a bad press, for a service you might aswell go to twiss green garage (lowton) they do lots of coops and very local.

not at all mate, but if a coop chick pops up around preston she's mine!!! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Hey this is the coop spotting thread - remember <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Spotted a coop in the thread.. parked up on a drive near preston <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

PS where im from is closer to saints than preston <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Twiss green.... when did you last use them Tubeaway_army <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Mine has done 93,000 and had the cambeltdone at 62,000 got service history, and was only last serviced last christmas I have only had it 2 weeks and what do you rekon I should get done

Respray


sprint Blue of course <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Can't believe I haven't seen your Coupe - I'm on that estate at least 3 times a week at my future father-in-law's in Syston Avenue!

With Pebble's Coupe the numbers seem to be increasing in this area. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Id take it and get the whole caboodle done.

1. because it aint had a service in a year of ownership and who knows how many miles.

2. the cambelt interval changes so i would bet its coming upto 4 years after the last one was done

3. for peace of mind its worth paying the money as the car will get a good going over while there and show up any other faults with the engine while its being checked over.(not every fault under the sun but most places on here would give the car a good check and reccomend anything that needs replacing or soon to be dead...)

<img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Kingpleb you have PM <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

so how much is a full service with iceberg <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

So do you Craig <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

your looking at about £400 i think maybe £550 all in...

Some discount if you join the owners club which would pay itself back in just that one visit <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> i know i have saved a shed load with iceberg since i have been a member <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

what do you get done for £550 and how come you get a discount with being a member and how much discount do you get

Well if you carry on straight down bosworth instead of turning into Syston I live right on the bend <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

You will see a figaro there as well adn maybe a punto?? adn no brick wall as the coupe ate it <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

The full service is oil, filters, plugs, cambelt, aux belt, pas belt, tensioners and water pump and coolant flush if you as for it as well but that may be a few quid more. and maybe get the gearbox fluid done as well as brake fluid if you cant find an invoice to say its been done in the last 4years as well <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Keep asking Pebbles - I'm interested in the answers as well <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

C2D - will keep a look out for a sparkling Sprint Blue <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

so how much discount do you get with the fiat club

I like the sprint blue but would sooner have a metalic

I dont have an invoice for a new turbo when do they need replacing as I havent pushed the car yet because I am scared of damaging the turbo

here is the price list from Power Fiat coop God <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

and here is the discount list

A full service would include Plugs, Filters, Oil and check brakes, suspension, fluids etc. The belt only needs changing at the relevant interval although it's worth asking them to check the condition of the auxilliary belts as these can let go and take out the timing belt <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

and as I've already said - make sure you check your oil level regularly, it can't wait till service time.

And KP - the walls still there.(and painted pink so fellow coopsters can spot me easily) <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

It's the BlOOdy gates that's gone <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
