    Obviously I can only go by my own experience - I have dealt with Clive and Sue continually since they took over the UK JJD Dealership from James and Adam – JJD UK four years ago. Any minor problems I have had have been dealt with swiftly and courteously. Yes, they definitely an ongoing concern -...
