   Can anyone recommend a BMW specialist in Norwich or very close-to?

I have an E30 M3 that needs a new clutch soon, and I would rather not pay Lind BMW main dealer prices for it if I can help it.

	You can try Salhouse service station - they have worked on BMWs and came highly recommended by the BMW drivers club. HTH Paul

	Not sure I`m entirely convinced by Thorpe End Garage. They`re BMW specialists. I found them to be a little hit and miss though, to be honest. I`ve used them a couple of times and they`re mostly fine, but last time there seemed a lot of waiting around [car was ready about 3 days after they said it would be]. Also, after they replaced the coolant, the system appeared to have an airlock, the expansion bottle emptied itself and we discovered the bleed nipple bit on the top had been snapped off and glued back together. Their fault? Who knows...

	I've used Thorpe End before when I had a 535i Sport, and they did a good enough job but were expensive I thought. I was hoping there was somewhere else closer or in the city centre. Isn't there one down Hall Rd somewhere?

	Yes there is - it's on the left, just before the Q8 garage just before the roundabout for Homebase. Never used them so couldn't tell you. Paul
