Servicing
My Opti 150 has done 110 hours and I am having trouble finding anyone to fit it in for a service. How many miles extra can I do before I take a risk with the engine or warranty? It is running perfectly fine.

Not an answer - but in preparation for when I need a service - can anyone recommend an Optimax service centre in the Yorks/Notts/derbys area
Thanks
Jeff

Thanks Turbod - but I was looking for advice/ recommendation of a dealer that actually services Optimax's - and preferably one with a good reputation.
I would rather tow 100+ miles to find one who has experience than just use someone who has the ddt but not well versed in the vagueries of O's.
......... or am I just being schizo ?
