Do it yourself & save.
Carb balancing Oil Plugs Filters Are pretty straight forward + Save you a good 100+ on labour. |

Main
Just assume, for the sake of argument, that letting me loose with a spanner is not necessarily good for the the health of the mechanical item in question or, indeed, me. |

I'm in Surrey and could show you how to do all the above for free.
Would have to be on one of my days off shift mind. I don't have carb tune or the like but oil, oil filter, air filter no problem and plugs are easy just annoying to get at.
