G'day,
looking for some recommendations regarding a place to have my CT serviced.
I have now done over 20k and would like to have the ALKO electric brakes and the wheel bearings checked/serviced. Not being particularly mechanical myself I would like to get this done by a professional.
Can you recommend anybody in the south east area of Melbourne?
Thanks for any help,
Thomas

It's a great idea to learn how to do it yourself, that way if things go wrong when your out and about, your not in poo.
Plus I hear the food out at the Farkaway Farm is not 1/2 bad....
Might even ask him to help me wire up the incab winch switches...

Agreed - I prefer to be self sufficient when out and about.

Don't forget to bring the bearings. Only way to learn is practice, practice, practice. So far 24 campers, 50 bearing kits(GeoffA) >:D Then we start on the brakes adjustments. Is that ok Bird? >:D
