Excellent, think I will try pay him a visit this year. I got the impression from my mechanic he was reluctant to touch it as he didn't know about it - best to deal with Rich by the sounds of it

Thing with rich is that he knows The Prelude and Atts well. So he knows what to expect and work efficiently saving costs. Labour rates might be on the higher side however its done quicker and done properly which in the end works out quite reasonable cost wise.

That sounds spot on, just what I was after. Having such good experience with certain vehicles goes a really long way - great for us guys with Ludes!
