Re: Proud new SFA owner!

Cameron,
You can also try JJ's Motor Works in Pietermaritzburg. When I lived there I used to use him to do the repairs on my Hilux's. He did his trade test on these type of vehicles so knows them well. I have not used him since 2008 so don't know what his set up is like now.
