Understood - I guess that each job needs to be taken on its own merit and evaluated from there. If the vehicle is still fairly new and/or worth a fair bit, using a main dealer can still be justified....

Very smart
Thanks for your reply.
Yes, I'm very attached to the car and never intend selling it. I also advocate using the right parts and doing work correctly the first time 'round (if only to avoid doing it...
No problem, thanks for your reply.
Great move re. night school - good on you. At least you can tick off jobs you're able to do yourself and complete them to a decent standard.
There are one or...
Thank you - I've seen a few of his videos before and they do seem helpful.
I hear what you say re. redblocks/whiteblocks etc (although I've not heard of them before), but the reality is that I have...
Thanks for your post.
Yes, that all makes sense. I've got a pre-MOT test booked in now so I'll see what that produces. Fingers crossed it's manageable.
The PCV and Cambelt Service are my main areas...
Thanks for everyones advice.
This will inevitably turn into a "how far do you go" project! I have been wanting to get my 855r back on the road for some time now but the prospect of big bills and...
Hello,
I was wondering if I could get some opion on what I can expect to pay a decent independant garage in labour for the following jobs on an 855r, and also whether I need to be aware of any...
I'd be delighted to offer confectionery, Jaffa Cakes or otherwise, but until I'm able to understand if he even wants to take any more work on of he's that busy, I'm kind of stuck!
Anyway, I will...
OK, so it seems unlikely he hasn't changed number/email address etc?
Thankyou both.
Its certainly someone I had intended using but have been unable to get any form of reply in about 5 months. I have tried calling, text and email so don't know if he is still active??...
Hi all
Can anyone suggest a person / company that have a good understanding of the 850r engine? Whilst I'm not looking for anything particularly 'special' in terms of upgrades, I do want a mechanic...
OK, that's interesting. Just assumed that anything that wasn't 'fixed' would mean the new centre would exactly be in the centre and potentially cause vibration.
Nice one
Nice, the wheels look good.
How did you increase the centre bore of the Jag alloys?
Hi all
Does anyone have experience of starter motors on 850R's?
I'm wondering if they are generic across the 850 range or if they're model specific? Any recommendations for makes / brands to buy...
It's an 850 one that I'd need. I understand your reluctance to post it but unfortunately collection isn't viable
I might be interested if craigtange doesn't want it ..
OK. They're going to be a bit old for me I think - cheers for the message anyway
I might be interested in the eibach/bilstein suspension, depending on condition, price and when it might be available
Cheers
blimey!

And finding someone to do this can be a challenge! Not difficult to do in principle, but you need the right tools
Hi all
I'm looking for some opinion / advice on how to best approach a suspension issue I need to sort out ..
My 850R has been SORN fora while now and I would like to get her back on the road....
If your car is an auto, my guess would be a faulty inhibitor switch. Something like £130 from a main dealer plus an hour to fit??
Me too
Might be an idea ; Redbrick / MoleT-5R, does it look like the unit splits allowing access ( or removal ) to the chrome ?
