  1. Took it into JFE in Exter.

     

    Had a great experience - gave me loan car and the young guy that did the service was very friendly and informative.

     

    BE WARNED - Your've got to haggle on the price - didn't take much haggling mind. They quote £440 for a P2 - I simply told them that they were having a laugh and they reduced it to £290 in about 15 secs (the buggers didn't wash it mind!?!) and when I picked it up they gave me free fully loaded 12 months RAC cover. Saves me £80 a year with the AA so I recon that brings the price down to a back street garage price.

     

    However:

    They wanted £210 for each 050a that I needed - which I didn't buy as I got them down to £146 each at Save on Tyres.

    and £450 for a new back box as mine had split at the flange - got the flange cut off and a pipe section weilded in for £30, again at Exeters save on tyres. I believe that this frange issue is common with all 350's? If you experience the same issue give em a call and ask for Pat.

  2. I've been hunting for a replacement stainless steel exhaust for my GT as mine had split at the rear flange flange - which I'm told is a common problem?!

     

    Japspeed informed me that their K2 wouldn't fit as my 300bhp GT version has a different bumper and the tail pipes wouldn't stick out far enough.

    Is this true for all off the shelf steel exhausts? - I'd really appreciate it if any other owner of a similar GT model could advice on one which will fit ok?!

     

    Not wanting to spend £450 with the main dealer for a standard one I took it to Save On Tyres in Exeter and Pat did a top job of cutting off the flange and wielding the 2 sections together for just £30.

     

    Would still like some advice if anyone can help?

  3. Just had my 07 350 serviced at JFE in Exeter. :D

     

    Experienced a great service - but be warned they wanted £440 for a P2. I explained that I wouldn't pay that much and they reduced it to £290 and free 12 month RAC cover straight away.

     

    Very helpfull and friendly - will go back to them.

  4. just about to have my first service. Can anyone recommend where I should take it to - somewhere between Plymouth and Exeter- what are Exeter's main dealer like?

     

    Due to have a P2 - being that it's my first service should I go the whole hog and get the P3 to make sure alls well. Whats the difference between the 2?

     

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
