Hello, newbie here!

Scott's my name and I've owned a 1998 Carisma GDI for a couple of months. I'm glad to have found the forum but regret that I'll be taking more out than I can put in for a while as I'm new to Mitsubishi ownership.

Anyway, my Carisma needs a timing belt service and I'd like to know if there's someone good in London and the SE outside of the dealer network. It would preferably be someone with diagnostic kit as I also have an intermittent engine fault and I can't count on the service to fix that. I'd rather not pay equivalent to the car's whole market value for a service, which is what it looks like I've got to do at the main dealers. I'm not criticising them by any means, but I'm running a 10-year-old car on the budget typical of a 10-year-old car's owner and I need to get the servicing done more cheaply.

Grateful for any recommendations!
