Thanks number 5 that's good to know I'll certainly have a think about it


Wegras that was my point entirely, I can't understand why I have to Pm someone for a quote when it's in black and white by Mike and Number 5 above? Is it a secret? Should it not be available for people to see as he or she is nearest to me
We are not talking about a business here Bowser does it in his spare time from a demanding but very relevant day job and in my experience his prices seem to drop and of course depends on the issues and setting price lists is ridiculous
However thats your problem .
If it is a problem I suggest you do go somewhere else

Wow what's with the attitude? I presume that as number 5 said he does it in his spare time too so what's the difference? Who are you his right hand man? I still don't understand why it would be a problem to just put the price for relocating the roof motor into the boot (which is a cut and dried process as far as the other members have said) then why is there no price available for that one task? Why does everyone else not have an issue sharing the cost of their services?

Likewise, I also do it in my spare time, what little I get with the shop lol. I just think that if you are offering a service, a price helps people decide, as well of course comments from people who have used a service.

And I agree with the OP, seems a strange attitude to take.

Just my 2p.

I'm thinking of getting this done too. I'm just north of Bristol so Number 5 would be close. I think we may be meeting at AV8 next month so might have a chat with you then?

Number5, Number5, Hi Number5, I am new to this Forum, I have read you posts regarding roof motors and hopefully you can fix mine. I am based in Cheltenham, how do I contact you to fix a convenient time to bring the car down to Bristol? Thanks Miles

Hi Miles,

I dont want to put my phone number up and I dont think as a 'newbie' you can receive private messages immediately, so best to drop me an email at [email protected].
Thanks Alan
