An exhaust manifold; i'm looking at going halves on a mig welder with strictlyderv and doing some home'grown work, but if anyone is around that could help out it could be worth while

For me it's got to be Kris B totally trust him with my car. Found a garage down broadstairs which is close to me called TT Motorcentre as i couldn't drive to Kris's as i had no engine and they charging me a good price for engine swap with new major service parts . Not as good rates as Kris's but not theiving like other places. Other then that i look after my car myself lol

RE: Local Garages/Mechanics - RJDubya - 18-12-2012
Wrexham, Williams garage in Lodge. The only garage I will take my car to, they do a to job every time, don't charge an arm and a leg and will tell you up front if it's past their skills (eg fuel pump). They've even done work for me to try to solve problems and not charged me if they can't find a solution. Very knowledgeable and friendly. 01978 758521

RE: Local Garages/Mechanics - smartgun - 23-09-2013
In South Yorkshire, I would recommend a guy called Steve Bingham who used to be a Master Tech with Robins & Day Peugeot in Sheffield/Rotherham. If anyone wants his number send a message.
RE: Local Garages/Mechanics - lidan0527 - 17-10-2013
Anyway, the price was £240 for a cambelt, aux belt, tensioners and water pump change, along with a coolant change, which I feel is a reasonable price.Buy Fifa Ultimate Team Coins
