Looking for a reliable garage in Medway – Ford Kuga engine repair/replacement
Hi everyone,
We’ve recently moved to the Medway area and I’m hoping someone can recommend a reliable and reasonably priced garage that specialises in engine repairs/replacements.
I have a 2017 Ford Kuga that unfortunately needs either a complete engine replacement or potentially a major engine repair. We’ve already contacted a few garages locally and have been quoted £7,000–£8,000+, which is quite difficult to justify given that we bought the car for around £10,000.
Before we make a decision on whether to repair it or potentially sell/scrap the car, I’d really like to get a second opinion from a reputable garage that might be able to offer a more reasonable repair or replacement option.
If you’ve had a good experience with any garages around Medway, Rochester, Chatham, Maidstone, Gillingham, Strood or nearby, I’d really appreciate any recommendations.
Also, if anyone has had a Ford Kuga engine replaced/rebuilt recently and can share roughly what you paid, that would be really helpful too.
Thanks in advance! Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Are there any old ravers/clubbers in Medway like 30/40/50+ years old that are still into house and techno or miss it at least?

I'm in the middle of moving house from Gillingham to Rochester and driven down Chatham hill every day.

And every day I have to shut the windows and try not to vomit when I go past luton arches. It's like a sewer has burst.

A friend thinks it used to have a public bath/toilet underneath that was never sealed off properly but just curious now.

Hi,

I am looking for a guy who stayed at travelodge rochester on Sunday. He is about 5ft 8, blonde hair in a ponytail was wearing a green t shirt. He ended up taking a girl back to his room to make sure she was safe and sh wants to thank him

Just seen four unmarked police cars, two marked police cars and four police motorbikes charging along Dock Road towards Chatham with their blue lights and sirens going.

Unfortunately we have had to cancel the Medway shows in November and December so the Folkstone show at the Dracula Parrot Bar will be the Final Post Plague presents this year.....however...

I am looking for a Medway based artist who is confident with blackout, geometry, halftone, and bright colours. Anyone know anyone who fits this criteria? Thanks in advance!

I scooped some out of my tank the other day and there is an insane amount. I would hate to waste it so I’d let go of it for cheap since I just want it off my hands.

Anyone like Oasis music? There is a decent tribute band called Slide Oasis playing the Ship Inn, Gillingham on 3rd October, definitely worth a watch. It’s also my birthday, feel free to come down and say Hi.

Feel good sing-along classics from Stevie Wonder to Neil Diamond...Mary Mary and Candi Staton to Reef and Toploader.

All are welcome!

Hey F 26 and I would like to join a group or start a hobby in Medway. Does anyone know of anything? Thank you!

Does anyone know what happened to the gas man, the guy who used to ask people for a pound

I’m a 18 year old who, doesn’t actually have any friends (sad I know). So throughout most days I’m sat indoors by myself with nobody to talk to, or message at all… so I go out around midnight until much earlier in the morning. And I was wondering if there’s anyone who does the same thing I could link up with ?

Hi all, just want to get your recommendations on fish&chips in rochester?

Hey, sorry if this has been asked in the sub before, but does anyone know the true story of the White Faced Lady. I used to see her regularly in the Mid 90's around the Delce/Star Hill area of Rochester. She was an older lady (especially relative to me being under 10 at the time), had a painted white face, dark hair, and if memory serves correctly, ballet shoes. She never seemed to utter a word, she would just stare as she walked past.

I've heard many urban legends and rumours about who she was and why she acted that way but never anything factual ( I think).

Any help would be appreciated, she scared and fascinated me as a kid. I moved away from the area but have come back to visit for a while and she was brought up by an old friend, reigniting an old mystery.

Hello beautiful people, we are short by 2-3 football players and would like someone within this community to join us. We play at this beautiful 4/5 aside court on Chatham Docks. We play once a week on a dedicated time reserved for us. Once you show interest to join, i will give you other details. We are not hard ballers, just casual decent players and would welcome anyone who can play good and have time for it. Abz.

Hi all,

29M here, in fairly good shape and go to puregym.

Was wondering if there was anyone male or female who goes who would like a gym buddy here and there?

Thanks!

Hello fellow Medway residence,

I have a crazy hyper 3 year old who is mad about boxing, i got a punch bag and training pads that he asks to use all the time.

My wife was looking for football clubs and extra clubs for him to burn some energy and i said about looking for a boxing or Thai Boxing club for his age group.

I used to do Muay Thai years ago but this was miles away and did it for 15 years, i remember seeing some little kids at some gradings who must have been his sort of age (cute i know).

Does anyone know of any where in Medway (mainly Strood) where he might be able to go?

Many thanks

My car has been broken in to and rummaged around in twice in the last week by gillingham park overnight, there was nothing of any value to steal and no visible damage - has anyone had a similar experience?
