Westroen Sphere services:

AFAIK he only does spheres and LHM changes.

Emailed and Booked in for LHM change (£40 inc cleaning filters) and probably 3 spheres (£25 each fitted) - very very helpfull with some of the questions i posed regarding the way my Xant behaves.
Now i'm a techno numpty with somethings (wrecked too many cars to do anything more complex than change the oil and filters) so im rather happy with the prices from this place. And there is a very nice pub nearby which does some cracking food (did my training at the hospital just up the road, so will be a real nostalga trip for me)
Good link Richard, Thanks.

Westroen did the spheres on my Xantia when I had it. They did a good job.
They work out of a garage at the back of their house.

Westroen did me proud on my Xantia...all 8 spheres (it's a VSX). Worth the £25/corner not to get showered in LHM, and their 3 year warranty made me happy. I believe they'll also do rear height correctors...open them floodgates!!

Hi, I live in Croydon. I have used Surrey Breakdown (Citroen specialists) in Purley (opposite the station) for many years.
Last year I had the spheres changed on my Xantia - £70 for front and same again for back. Difficult to breakdown labour because I had a service at the same time but generally reasonable.
FYI: Change of cambelt and waterpump with VAT was around £200.
Xantia 97 1.8 16v

"they offered to sort it all out for me with new spheres and a hydraulics overhaul for.......£1295"
To which you replied???

I did laugh out loud and told them that at this price I might as well buy a new car, they looked hopeful until I added 'but definately not from here'...
James is John based at a garage or is he independent?
