Moved to Mini Chat.

Haven't had any experience of them, but I don't think they have a good rep.

Is your car already there?

Lol, M&Ms in Warrington and Bill Richards is quite a distance apart! Where abouts are you?

Bill will always get my vote, probably one of the priciest around, but the work is always top notch.

What do you need doing to your car?

by the way, if you want to change the font, size, etc, you need to enclude the closing tags at the end of your formatting; [/font] and/or [/size]

Well I believe Bill charges a standard £150 for either taking an engine out, or putting back in.

You might want to try Manne Hutte in Broadstairs (01843 582718) or ML Motorsport in Knokholt near Brands Hatch.

I got a set of built front hubs off of them a couple of years ago and they were total scrap, sure you expect second hand to be a bit scruffy, but the CV's were shot, the ball joint sockets where chipped and dry, the brake calipers were knackered and the disks warped.

I sent them back asking for another set and just got a cheque in an envelope for what I'd paid, no note or anything.

Maybe they have sorted their act out by now but I wouldn't risk it.
