Bought the van in August 2020. Took it back as air con wasnt working. Then didnt start when cold. Took to reputable garage Stepneys. Glow plugs needed doing. Oil filter was poor and timing belt wasnt great. Heat sensor bad. Then Oil pump failed along with Pistons. Spent 3600 pounds. Absolutely dreadful cost 1700 on top of cost now scrapped. Never again.

It was an awful day with heavy rainfall but once inside it was warm and welcoming. Food in The Golden Lion is absolutely brilliant, the best place for food that I know and the landlord and landlady are fab.

I've lived in the area from birth and I can't remember a time Glovers garage wasn't in business, I'm 50 now! I use Glovers all the time for servicing my van and my MOTs. A loan van is usually available if you book in advance which is most helpful, saving me losing a days business. They really do go above and beyond to help if your stuck. They aren't particularly local to me as I live in Chatteris, but it's worth me traveling the extra miles.

I have been to this vehicle hire place once, to hire a van, a few years ago. The office is upstairs above the premises of the Mercedes garage where I take my car for service and mot.
