Yup. I'd go for Peter Baldwin, then. He does it there and then (you drive it whilst he tunes it).
A friend of mine (in St Albans) is going to him soon for a tune up, too.
Since you're local, let me know if you need any advice any time ... I have a lot of contacts in my Mini club :)

My friends Owen and Jamie own and run The Rover Centre in London Road, St. Albans. I think they still have a rally Mini in addition to their Rover rally cars.
I was born in St. Albans and lived there until I was 24. Still love to visit the old city sometimes. Actually I went to Verulam School, but it was called something else back then.

Another vote for Peter Baldwins from me, hes an incredibly knowledgable bloke, just don't plan a busy day when you go as he has a tendency to run late.

thanks purple_hedgehog i may take you up on that sometime
and cooperman i think that place is fairly close to a friend of mine. may pop in just for a nosey

is that from experience Spud? i tend not to plan busy days when im doing work on the mini any as i'll tend to get carried away and end up doing something different to what i started

[Spud_133]

Unfortunatly so, been there a couple of times, (dads been more) and he's been late most of them

[bigrob]

ah fair enough. i'll make a day of it then
