Hello everyone,
I know this isn't the traditional way to introduce myself but I'm Deepak; the chap Scott mentioned in the post at the top.
I carried out my apprenticeship with Robins and Day Peugeot Chiswick, gaining fully qualified service technician status with ATA accreditation. I then studied aircraft engineering and now work for the country's national flag carrier maintaning jumbo jets.
I'm based in West London, Southall and work from my garage at home. I am capable of all kinds of tasks on the 306, but my preference is timing belts and water pumps; for the simple fact that I do work full time and it's the kind of job that doesn't take a lot of my time and I have a good system for fitting them therefore can offer a good rate on them.
I have a couple of threads on 306gti6.com:

I know GTi6's inside out, but can just as easily work the other XU, TU, DW Etc engines.
I am having issues with sourcing parts at the moment as both GSF and ECP are very unreliable (nothing new there then) so I'm encouraging those who do have any work done to use genuine parts; although if an alternative is required we can work that out between us.
I work a 4 on 4 off night shift; some consider this flexible, but I'm available for pick ups and drop offs almost any time with enough notice.
I'd describe myself as friendly and reliable all the while staying competitive when it comes to price.
I hope some of you will get in contact as it's great to meet 306 owners; I've found they come in all shapes and sizes!
Regards,
Deepak Gohil
