Bye Danbury, hello AbsoluteVW Empty

We have stuck with Danbury for all our service and maintenance work from new. Our six-monthly visits there have been seen as an opportunity to have some holiday time in the area. Sadly Danbury are fading away so far as our BraziBays are concerned. They have out-sourced service work, don’t offer MOT anymore and have told members on the forum to go elsewhere for spare parts.
Consequently we have been looking for an alternative.
Last week we visited Simon Kerr at AbsoluteVW in Castle-Donnington. MOT passed after a fix to the tell-tale light on the fog-light switch. Simon gave us and our camper lots of attention and we have agreed a list of jobs to be completed next month. Absolute have worked on BraziBays for some time and with a connection to VWKampers/Brazilian Kampers will, we hope be our new Danbury.
Also a chance of holiday time in a different part of the country.
Thank you Danbury, but goodbye.
Hello AbsoluteVW

Hi OSG,

Simon @ Absolute is a great guy and they know the T2 Brazilians well.

We will be working closer with them in the future.

VWK.

Our second visit to Absolute VW was a hectic day for them.
Five new Goodyear Vector Cargo tyres as the old ones, although plenty of tread, were eight years from manufacture. Clean up of excess old grease accumulated around the kingpins and brake backing plates during previous services at Danbury. Grease to all steering and suspension points. Adjustment to steering arm and tracking. New linkages and bushing for the gear change (actually I liked it when it was a bit vague). Rust repair and re-paint of wing corner next to the rear valance, and anti-corrosion re-treatment of the whole lower perimeter.
Thanks to Simon and his team for fitting this into one visit

Another visit to AbsoluteVW yesterday. Simon is always keen to sort things to be as you want.
'Danbury type' major service and some new rear wheel bearings fitted. Replaced gearbox oil - I had asked for Morris 80W/90 mineral gl4 or similar. A short length of pipe and two jubilee clips now on board in case of failure where left full-lock had previously marked the driver side rubber radiator pipe
Trying to make more use of the camper from now on.

Another day of excellent work from Simon at AbsoluteVW yesterday
Booked in for a major service and fitting of a new starter-motor that we had been carrying around due to intermittent issues.
Also blended in some new paint down one side and around the lower rear-hatch opening.
Re-engineered conduit for clutch cable to fix an issue with uneven movement at the peddle.
Well worth a day there even if it is 100 miles away

Just back from a Major Service and MOT (pass) at AbsoluteVW.
For the past 8 weeks Simon is in new premises at 100 London Road, Shardlow just a few miles from his original site in Castle Donnington. He has a fabulous new workshop with a secure compound. There are multiple lifts and a rolling road for future MOT work. Also a forecourt to be developed for vehicle sales.
Lots of Beetles, Splits and Bays (including one Brazi) to see whilst there. A hundred miles away but well worth the trip for the service you receive from Simon and his Crew.
We camped, with our drive-away awning as a base, at Shardlow Marina just a short walk away
