Hi all,

I live in sittingbourne, and lately my poor lil Booger seems to be running a bit pooey and is idling at very low revs even nearly stalling.

I was just wondering if anyone knows of any good rolling road centres in kent preferably as close as possible to me, but to be honest i would prefer as good a job as possible and travel that little bit further.

Thanks all.

Ahmet.

B D Engineering in Newington........... can't ge a lot closer than that!!

Did mine about 3 weeks ago and is a really nice guy and knows his stuff. Was best for me as he is a weber specialist but he looks after all sorts of cars so give him a bell 01795 843980.

Address: Unit H1, Newington Ind Est, London Rd, Newington, Sittingbourne, Kent ME9 7NU

Yeah I agree with ML Motorsport, although he uses sanspeeds rolling road which is in bexleyheath if he needs to, otherwise he'll diagnose it there and then and get it setup aswell. I think he does tuning on saturdays so would be worth giving him a bell.

Ok, ill go ML Motorsport then i guess haha, but when i take it there, other than tuning will he make it idle correctly etc etc? or is it just literally adjusting the mixture?

Yes he will do everything depending on what you go there for, I think they do full setups on a Wednesday.

Which includes needle profiling and dizzy advance curve setup for your engine and also leak down testing and rolling road etc etc it is very thorough.

However i guess you could take it to them and just ask them to give it a tune up

B D Engineering charged me £95 pluc VAT for a RR tune and advice - he swapped the jets in my weber for free as well and kept my 2 week old ones.

But he has all the gear to do a proper tune etc and a 2WD and 4WD RR - so no need to take it anywhere else. Top bloke and I will go there again should i need to!
