Need a name

[Marmalade]

I'd like to get Marmalade's volvo MD22L serviced before the 4th of April. Volspec can't fit it in... can anyone recommend an alternative in the Ipswich area (boat in Neptune) who might be able to fit me in...??

thx
Simon

Hi Roger, I thought John was Althorne Marine, or maybe I've got that wrong ??????

DIY is easy

Doh. I didn't have such intimate knowledge as you Alan but on checking.......

Another vote for John Rooke of Althorne Marine, certainly did my work very quickly (in this case sealing holes & fixing a radar in place plus other mast work).

did you know the the volvo marine engine is built at Perkins Peterborough?

they are only 15ft away from my unit and the rotters will not give me a free one /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Worryingly, I used to work on the production line there, actually building the damn things, would you really want one now you know that ? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

DIY - I'd quite like to observe since this is the first service since we bought the boat. I got to the point on the last boat where I could change the filters, oil and re-bleed etc. but I'm not an engineer so figured I'd get a pro to give it the once-over.

Have spoken now to John at Althorne so many thanks for the tip, all.
