I think that you have obviously had trouble getting your Mooney maintained, I agree with you about the manufacturers maintenance program vs LAMP, now we have EASA it is much more practical to use the manufactures maintenance program.
I do however disagree with your assertion that the whole UK maintenance industry is unable to supply a reasonable service, just like all industry's there are good and bad service providers be it for a Mooney or any other type, and as with any other service if you aim for the cheap end of the market you will get a cheap product.
