UFO Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 My R300 will soon be due for its 500 mile service. Being in Reading Berks, Dartford seems a long way to go. I was looking at using James Whiting instead. Does anyone have any other recommendations? Glenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knowley Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 That'll be 2 R300s in berkshire then 😬 .. I was going to ask this question in a few months, Where abouts is James Whiting?

UFO Posted July 3, 2003 Author Share Posted July 3, 2003 Hi Knowley James Whiting is in Ashford Middlesex. See www.jameswhiting.co.uk. Im pretty sure he is an official service centre and is well known to Caterham. His rates look very reasonable compared with Arrowstar who I used in the past. I'm off to check out your site...

AlShack Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 Is Watford too far? Aryliam Motorsport (01923 269306 / aryliam@wasynet.co.uk) are in Sarratt (about 5-10 miles from Watford). Look after my 1.6ss and a few others on here I believe. Cheers Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UFO Posted July 3, 2003 Author Share Posted July 3, 2003 Bafty No, its factory built. I realise theres not alot involved and got ripped off in the past by Arrowstar servicing my previous Cat. As its new I'm just trying to do things by the book.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrivRich Posted July 5, 2003 Share Posted July 5, 2003 Anyone tried the Rover / Caterham dealer place advertised in the Low Flying last month - Kernahan's of Witney 🤔 A new set-up just outside Oxford I think.

Chris W Posted July 5, 2003 Share Posted July 5, 2003 Glenn If your 7 is factory built, Caterham will do the first service free of charge. Chris 2003 1.8K SV 140hp see it here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UFO Posted July 5, 2003 Author Share Posted July 5, 2003 Cheers Chris, I wasn't aware of that... Never heard of Shrivenhams before. And not having any luck getting hold of James Whiting ☹️. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mav Posted July 5, 2003 Share Posted July 5, 2003 Chris, Any idea when this came anout as they charged me (2yrs ago) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris W Posted July 5, 2003 Share Posted July 5, 2003 I've no idea Mav. I took delivery of my new 7 in late January this year. A couple of weeks later I rang them to book up the first service and enquired after the cost. I was told then that the first service is free for factory-built cars..... and it certainly was. They serviced it, handed me back the keys.... nothing to pay. Chris 2003 1.8K SV 140hp see it here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan T Posted July 6, 2003 Share Posted July 6, 2003 Same here mav my 500 was free. Just about to test this again as I am booked in for a 500 mile on July 18th despite the fact I don't actually have my new car yet (due next Thursday *thumbup* ).

UFO Posted July 8, 2003 Author Share Posted July 8, 2003 Just had an email from Simon Lambert, Aftersales Manager at Caterham. The 500 mile service is free 'at present' for factory built cars. Glenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
