Welcome mate,

for any engine work i'd certainly suggest Charlesworth motors near Glossop.

but for bodywork cant really help mate unless your willing to travel to Morecambe?

Welcome though

Mechanical - Charlesworth Motors in Glossop for anything complex since they know the Aristo really well.

Bodywork - Auto-Serve in Oldham

http://www.auto-serve.co.uk/ :)

All the servicing and some of the suspension work on my car was done by Auto-Serve with the rest of the work done by Charlesworth.

Don't the Aristo's have the fog light in the boot lid like the is200/300 or can it be made to work this way, as i don't remember seeing any fog light stuck on the back of Anees or Aido Aristo's

Gord,

Imrans Aristo has a small fog light fitted to the bottom on the bumper. I think it just depends on how it was done when the cars were SVA'd. Mine was fitted with a dual element bulb in the rear so the fog light also acted as an extra brake light. Looked pretty cool.

I was at Auto-Serve on Sat and they did say a very nice black Aristo came. They liked the car ;)

with side lights on, the rear fogs act as side lights aswell as brakes when applied, i , just noticed today stabilising bracket on sard induction split were attached to body, all in time just working my way around it not a lot of probs just want to keep on top of it..
