Its full title is 'Block Exemption Regulations 1400/2002' (in short 'BER').<br /><br />This legislation changes the way cars may be serviced and repaired and gives motorists a lot more freedom in their decision as to who should look after their cars.<br /><br />Before BER, it was very difficult to have cars, which were still covered by the manufacturer's warranty, serviced anywhere else except a franchised dealer.<br /><br />Now motorists can use any garage of their choice to service their cars without invalidating the manufacturer's warranty.*<br /><br />Riddell's Garage offers the

Regular air con servicing ensures these levels are correct since an average air con system deteriorates by 10 - 15% every year.<br /><br />Odd smells caused by bacteria, such as mould and fungi growing behind the dashboard causes headaches and flu like symptoms called 'car sick syndrome'.<br /><br />A leaky system harms the atmosphere since the gas is 1300 times more potent than CO2. <div><br /></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5092981968906224002" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7kueB96S-r6ujL3RgfxBFALoL4Lnq8xbiQIcm2-VLT-HQRMbACszPadabF5SbzgdCgVnIXmVZ89cAOomPuhHOyDEZhB8hJvo3pZKGni1kUTSFOx9Eih0T09PHbGq0REeiZ_7boNqedA/s400/aircon.jpg" border="0" /><br />Regular air con servicing once every 2 years will mean you and your car will benefit from the following:<br /><br /><ul><br /><li>Cool air in the summer</li><br /><br /><li>Dry warm air in the winter</li><br /><br /><li>Improved visibility by de-fogging windows fast</li><br /><br /><li>Improved driver alertness when driving in warm conditions</li><br /><br /><li>Eliminates costly repairs if left unchecked</li><br /><br /><li>Help allergy sufferers by filtering out pollutants/airborne particles including pollen</li><br /><br /><li>Help prevent global warming</li></ul><br /><a href="http://riddellsgarage.blogspot.com/2007/07/contact-us.html">Contact us</a> to book your free Air Conditioning health check *<br /><br /><span style="font-size:78%;color:#ff0000;">* Please note that this is a check only, oil and refrigerant will be charged, if required.</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4441178034786933596.post-19097366419983314112007-07-03T13:22:00.000-07:002007-08-08T13:23:06.198-07:00Car SalesThere are currently no cars for sale at present.<br /><br />Please check again later.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4441178034786933596.post-42569047948616783422007-07-03T13:17:00.000-07:002008-04-02T13:26:09.384-07:00Cylinder Head SalesFor sale:<br /><br /><ul><li>- Citroen / Peugot 2.0 HDi , Fully reconditioned (Pressure test, skim, valves and seats refaced)</li><li>- Fiat Punto (8 valve), Fully reconditioned (Pressure test, skim, valves and seats refaced)</li><li>- Rover 25 (K Series), Fully reconditioned (Pressure test, skim, valves and seats refaced)</li><li>- Rover 200 (8 value), Fully reconditioned (Pressure test, skim, valves and seats refaced)</li></ul><br />Please <a href="http://riddellsgarage.blogspot.com/2007/07/contact-us.html">contact</a> us for further detailsUnknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4441178034786933596.post-81603251350946914822007-07-02T13:21:00.000-07:002020-06-11T12:57:13.802-07:00Location<br />
