What kind of thing do you want doing?......I know of a good gearbox spot in Leeds near Holbeck, but I use a Classic Car spot in Malton for all other stuff mechanical and a different spot again in Malton for bodywork

You're not a million miles from MiniSport in Padiham.

There used to be someone right in the centre, around Roseville Road. Dunno if they are still going.
What are you after been done?

I need a webasto sunroof fitting (i'm too scared to try and do this myself and throw 200 quid down the drain).
I'm also just looking for a mechanic for general maintenance, but no bodywork.
I've looked at the LCMOC forum but it all seems very quiet on there

that is is at the moment, but as a general mechanic there is a guy called jon who is very handy when it comes to engines, and a guy called daryl who's is a whiz when it comes to electrics. Both have helped me out and both come highly recommended. Jon is also a good welder and has restored a number of cars already. A look through his project threads should show you how capable he is. He took out my engine last year when it broke down took it all apart, helped me source a new engine due to the damage to my old engine and dropped the new engine in and set it all up for a very nice price.
