I'm not sure if PAW still do this but when I had to replace my clutch, I had to leave the car for a whole day and I couldn't travel back n forth soooo they gave me a hire/loan car. So I could use that to get home and when the car was finished I just drive that car back and picked up my Prelude. Could be an option for you. 8-)

If you want it done in Plymouth, there's 2 places I can highly recommend.

R L motors near chaplins in plympton and Barton garage at yelverton. They have both done be very well in the past.

I'm sure everyone would like to take there prelude to rich but it's a fairly straight forwards fit and there's even Internet guides that can be provided to help them out.

Let me know if u want any more details. Cheers pete

Best thing to do is go and speak to them about it.

I found 2 really good guides online to help me, but its quite straight forward. Even just a single picture of a kit fitted should be enough to see where it all goes.

I phoned PAW, the earliest booking is Tuesday 4th September. I guess I could stay at my bros and leave early Tuesday morning to arrive from Plymouth to Gloucester about 8ish?

Man, if you can get PAW to do the work - go for it!

170 miles from Plymouth, about a 4 hour trip. Do I drop my car off and hang around like a bad smell all day, or drop the car off, book into a Travelodge and pick the car up the next day. Hmm
