Did my front lower suspension arms in the snow that hit the SE on Saturday, he had to use a magnet to find his tools as they were covered in 10cm of snow when he had finished.
Took him hours to get home... but by all accounts he enjoyed the snow!
Interesting thing was that after he left I took it for a drive in the lovely fresh snow, I knew that the tracking would need doing as the steering wheel was now off centre by about 45 degress (expected that). What I didn't expect was for the electrics to shut down, special programs turn off and the suspension lower - HELP I cried, but TFC was already deep in his axles on the A40.
This is where a D3 expert earns his reputation - explained what was wrong, after a short pause Iain told me to get the tracking done and all will be fine... surely not I thought. He then explained that with the steering wheel off centre the D3 thinks that the front wheels should be turning at different speeds (i.e. going around a bend) but the speeds were the same so the 'computer says no' and turns everything off.
Got to nearest garage and got tracking done..... gues what, all cured, the man is a genius!
Highly recommended but highly sought after - book early.

Yeah he told me about doing yours in the snow. He's coming back in the New Year to do my ARB's and my Sreering rack links so i'll be off to get tracking done straight after as he's already told me about every thing shutting down...
Yep you definitely need to book him early

Not booked Iain yet, he's gonna let me know when he can come down as he's got a job in Dartford in the new year so i'll let you know soon as .
You could e-mail him to see what he can do and maybe we could all meet up so he doesn't have to travel all over the place to get to us...
Will do Riccardo
