My apologies for attaching this request to an unrelated thread but dont know
how to start a new one!
I am having difficulty finding a mechanic/ garage that is prepared to do a
safety check on my cruiser .It is currently in Cambridge and I plan to drive
to the Med in two weeks.As it has been driven from Malaysia to UK since the
last inspection, I would be happier if someone could check the vehicle out.
As I am currently in NZ a friend has tried some garages who say they cant do
it without UK registration and insurance!
Any advice would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
