Hi, looking for somewhere that I can fly to locally and drop the aircraft off for a 500hr Slick impulse mag inspection. Can anybody recommend any engine shops at Staverton or Oxford Kidlington? RGV at Glos have had to push my booking back by 6 weeks as they're so busy.

Worst case I'll take it off myself and drop it at Ronaldson Airmotive in Oxford.

Unless there is anything wrong with them, carry on flying, it is only a Service Bulletin, therefore a recommendation.

Discussed almost as much as primer

Please be careful, Trent, with that kind of advice

To the OP:

Take them off and deliver them yourself to your chosen inspection place. Then upon return get the local Engineer/etc to reinstall and re-time in accordance with the aircraft CofA/Ptf in effect.

Wise Engineers better than I have re iterated this on many an occasion.

It is a recommendation, not an instruction.

If you are comfortable with 570m of grass, try Pure Aviation at Defford Croft Farm. They have just done our mags.

OP - you have mail

We wacked the mag out last night and drove it to Peter's house.

And thus enormously increase your likelihood of a magneto failure in the next few hours of flying.
